- Abstract
[Introduction] Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a long-term sequel to pulmonary embolism (PE) whose incidence varies according to different published studies. We have carried out this study to determine its incidence within 2 years after index pulmonary embolism and to study limitations to an early diagnosis., [Material and methods] OSIRIS is a multicentre, longitudinal cohort study. Patients were followed for 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after pulmonary embolism using a structured three-step algorithm. A physician-centered questionnaire at least one positive response in a screening proceeded to the second step, transthoracic echocardiography. The third step consisted of ventilation/perfusion lung scintigraphy and right heart catheterisation. A transthoracic echocardiography was performed in patients without positive response in the screening questionnaire after 2 years. CTEPH diagnosis required haemodynamic confirmation by right heart catheterisation and mismatched perfusion defects on lung scintigraphy., [Results] A total of 1191 patients were enrolled in 18 Spanish hospitals. Cumulative CTEPH incidence after 2-years PE was: 2.49 % (95 % CI: 1.68–3.56) and the incidence rate of CTEPH was 1.1 cases per 1000 person-months (95 % CI: 0.725; 1.60). The CTEPH algorithm presented a lack of adherence of 29 %; patient and physician preferences posed barriers to the triage algorithm The screening questionnaire, in patients who completed the follow-up, shows a specificity of 91.3 % (89.0–93.2 %) and negative predictive value of 99.4 % (98.4–99.8 %)., [Conclusions] OSIRIS provides practiced clinical based data on the chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension incidence and identified barriers to the implementation of a 3-step triage algorithm for its detection.

- Abstract
Background The aim was to analyze the temporal relationship between short-term air pollution exposure and acute symptomatic unprovoked pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients/methods We performed a prospective, multicenter study in consecutive patients diagnosed with acute symptomatic unprovoked PE from February 2012 to January 2013. We analyzed demographic and clinical data, patients' addresses, meteorological and air pollutants data (PM10, SO2, CO, NO2, ozone emission data). We considered the number of days the patient had symptoms, and the study period constituted the previous 30 days. Likewise, the mean annual data of the reference season were calculated as well as the data of the 30-day study period corresponding to the same dates in the previous 3 years in order to obtain the monthly mean of the different pollutants for each period. Results A total of 162 patients with acute symptomatic PE were recruited (43.2% unprovoked PE). The air pollutants could be determined in 50% of the patients with unprovoked PE, and a final analysis was performed in 35 patients. In the multiple comparison analysis to verify a possible correlation between the study period and the annual median, only NO2 showed a statistically significant association (p = 0.009). When comparing the study period with the previous 3 years, only NO2 maintained a statistically significant association for the 3 study periods. Conclusions We found a relationship between short-term exposure to NO2 and the presence of unprovoked PE.

- Abstract
Background: Recent publications have suggested that neutrophil elastase (NE) may have a role in evaluating the clinical condition of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD). This study aims to evaluate the role of serum NE levels in the follow-up of patients with ILD., Material/methods: A group of 100 consecutive patients diagnosed with various ILDs were prospectively studied on two successive visits. On the first visit, the clinical condition of each patient was assessed, and blood count, pulmonary function tests, chest x-ray and serum NE levels (by latex agglutination assay) were performed on all patients. On the second visit, 8 months later, the patients were classified in two groups: those with unfavorable progression and those who were either in the same clinical status or showed good progression., Results: There was a weak correlation between NE and age (r= -0.383; p < 0.0005). Sex, age, NE and the treatment received were found to be independent predictors of the initial clinical condition. Multivariate analysis including these variables demonstrated that higher levels of serum NE predicted the worst clinical presentation (odds ratio: 4.392; 95% CI: 1.665 - 11.586; p = 0.003). However, none of the variables were found to be significantly different when the progression of the disease was assessed., Conclusions: Although NE seems to be a good marker for the initial clinical condition in this group of diseases, its role as a prognostic factor could not be proven
