dc.description.abstractPulmonary embolism (PE) is an important cause of sudden death and is difficult to diagnose. Therefore unnecessary radiological investigations are often resorted to. Although some inflammatory parameters in the hemogram have been found to play a role in the diagnosis of PE, many parameters have not been adequately investigated. We aimed to evaluate potential inflammatory parameters in hemogram in the diagnosis of PE and to determine the parameters with the highest diagnostic value. This single-center, retrospective study was performed by evaluating 114 cases with suspected PE admitted to the emergency department between January 2017 and June 2022. Among 114 cases, 62 cases with a definitive diagnosis of PE by pulmonary computed tomography angiography served as the PE group and 52 cases without PE served as the control group. Admission hemogram parameters of both groups were recorded. Potential chronic diseases and acute conditions affecting hemogram were excluded from the study. In the multivariate model; immature granulocyte (IG), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte % and platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR) were found to be significantly and independently effective in differentiating cases with and without PE (P<.05). Our findings suggest that high IG, high NLR, high monocyte %, and low P-LCR values have diagnostic value in cases with suspected PE. However the usability of IGs in the diagnosis of PE is a new finding. Hemogram is cheap, easily accessible, and potential inflammatory biomarkers in hemograms may increase physicians' awareness in the diagnosis of PE.en_US
