ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the predictive value for baseline levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in morbidity of pulmonary embolism (PE).Methods:
We conducted a prospective cohort study of 101510 subjects in Kailuan Group by regular physical examination from 2006-07 to 2007-10, and 94314 subjects were enrolled by relevant criteria including 75252 male and 19062 female. The baseline levels of hs-CRP were divided by quartile levels as①hs-CRP0.05. As the increased baseline level of hs-CRP, PE occurrence was elevated accordingly,P0.05. WBC counts had the increasing trend in quartile①,②,③ groups and had the decreasing trend in quartile④ group, while it was similar between quartile③ and quartile④ groups,P>0.05.Conclusion:
Baseline hs-CRP level may predict the risk of PE morbidity; the increased hs-CRP level could be used as one of the predictors for PE occurrence.
