Пациенты после перенесенной тромбоэмболии легочной артерии (ТЭЛА) имеют повышенный риск развития хронических осложнений, несмотря на использование антикоагулянтной терапии. Сочетание одышки, сниженных функциональных возможностей, правожелудочковой недостаточности, хронической тромбоэмболической легочной гипертензии или хронической тромбоэмболической болезни легких является частью термина "постпульмональный эмболический синдром"(post-pulmonary embolic syndrome). Симптомы этой патологии могут существенно влиять на качество жизни. Для улучшения общего состояния пациентов с острой ТЭЛА необходима ее адекватная диагностика и разработка стратегии борьбы с отдаленными последствиями.

Целью данного исследования является попытка дать определение постпульмональному эмболическому синдрому и рассмотреть возможность использования показателей исходов, сообщаемых пациентами (ПИСП) для оценки их функциональных возможностей.

Поиск статей в PubMed, опубликованных за последние 5 лет, осуществлялся с использованием следующих ключевых слов: post-pulmonary embolism syndrome; symptoms; PROMs; score; quality of life; dyspnea. Повторные публикации были исключены. Данные из найденных статей обобщены в текущем обзоре.

People who survive an episode of pulmonary embolism have an increased risk of developing chronic complications despite curative anticoagulant treatment. The association of dyspnoea, low functional capacity, right heart failure, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease is part of the notion of post-pulmonary embolic syndrome (PPES). The symptoms can be limiting, substantially affecting the quality of life. To improve the overall health outcomes of patients with acute pulmonary embolism, adequate measures to diagnose it and strategies to prevent long-term outcomes of pulmonary embolism are essential.

The objective of this study is to provide a definition of PPES and review the most recommended patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing the functionality of these patients.

We searched PubMed for papers from the last 5 years that contain the terms: postpulmonary embolism syndrome; symptoms; PROMs; score; quality of life; dyspnea. Repetitive publications were excluded. The data from the publications have been summarized in this descriptive overview.
