Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical value of thrombotic load in acute intermediate-risk pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 128 patients admitted to Hunan Provincial People's Hospital who were diagnosed with acute intermediate-risk PTE by CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examination, and who were divided into intermediate-low-risk group and intermediate-high-risk group according to the risk stratification, including 62 cases in intermediate-high-risk and low risk group and 66 cases in intermediate-low-risk group, and who were analyzed in the general clinical data, right ventricular inner diameter (RV) and left ventricular inner diameter (LV) of echocardiography, RV and LV and thrombotic load/CT pulmonary artery occlusion index (PAOI) Qanadli score of CTPA. Qanadli score for thrombotic load and the RV/LV ratio of CTPA and echocardiography were compared. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive ability of Qanadli score for acute intermediate-risk PTE. Results There were no statistical differences in age and sex of intermediate-low-risk group and intermediate-high-risk group. There were significant differences in shortness of breath, syncope and concomitant disease renal insufficiency, DVT in the two groups. Qanadli score, RV/LV ratios of CTPA and echocardiogram of patients in intermediate-low-risk group were significantly lower than those in intermediate-high-risk group. Qanadli score was positively correlated with RV/LV ratios of CTPA and echocardiographic. Qanadli score had good predictive value for intermediate-high-risk PTE, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.814, a truncation value of 32.5%, a sensitivity of 77.3%, and a specificity of 77.4%. The result of univariate logsitic regression analysis showed that the high Qanadli scores (≥32.5%) were significantly more likely to be intermediate-high-risk than the low Qanadli scores (<32.5%) (OR=11.657). Conclusion Qanadli score was a predictor of risk stratification of intermediate-risk PTE, which provided a strong supplement for risk stratification, and reference value for clinicians who timely and accurately assessed the severity of the disease and personalized treatment.
