Diagnostic Performance of Salusins in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Prospective Observational Study.

: This study investigated whether serum salusin-α and salusin-β levels could support the diagnosis and prognosis of confirmed acute pulmonary embolism (APE) cases. : A prospective observational study was conducted including 57 patients diagnosed with APE using computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and 30 control participants without any acute or chronic disease. APE patients were categorized based on the Pulmonary Artery Obstruction Index (PAOI) into low (≤20) and high (>20) thrombus burden groups.
