Abstract
- Background Hypoxaemia plays an important role in the development of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a high-altitude area have different pathophysiological characteristics from those patients in the plains. The goal of our study was to explore the clinical characteristics of PAH secondary to ARDS in a high-altitude area.Methods This was a prospective study conducted in the affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University. Two investigators independently assessed pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and right ventricular function by transthoracic echocardiography. Basic information and clinical data of the patients who were enrolled were collected. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors for PAH secondary to ARDS in the high-altitude area.Results The incidence of PAH secondary to ARDS within 48 hours in the high-altitude area was 44.19%.
