METHOD FOR DETERMINING CLINICAL PROBABILITY OF PULMONARY ARTERY THROMBOEMBOLIA Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for determining a clinical probability of developing pulmonary artery thromboembolia (PATE). There are determined the age, the body weight index (BWI) and clinical values: laboured breathing, tachypnea, tachycardia, symptoms of deep venous thrombosis. Each clinical value is appraised by points: symptoms of deep venous thrombosis as 3 points, laboured breathing as 1 point, tachycardia as 1.5 points, tachypnea as 1.5 points. The derived points of the specific patient are summed up, and a total score is used to calculate P1 and P2 values. The P1 and P2 values are calculated as follows: P1=-34.2+0.28×age+2.17×BWI+0.05×(total score of the clinical values), P2=-41.8+0.30×age+2.41×BWI+0.55×(total score of the clinical values). If P1>P2, a low probability of PATE is stated, while P1<P2 shows a high probability of PATE.

EFFECT: method enables the high-accuracy determination of the probability of developing PATE that is caused by taking into account a complex of significant risk factors of the developing disease.
