Abstract:

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) have multiple prognostic indicators which allow classification of patients9 one-year morbimortality risk as low, medium, or high allowing therapeutic decisions to improve functional and vital patient outcomes. <b>Objective:</b> To perform a network analysis of frequencies of functional, progressive, hemodynamic and biomarker variables conventionally used in risk estimation scales, at the diagnosis time of subjects with PAH/CTEPH from the Colombian Pulmonary Hypertension Network. <b>Methods:</b> Multidisciplinary initiative that analyzes information of patients in 8 health institutions with a confirmed diagnosis of PH in Groups 1 and 4. This study was executed from available frequency records according to risk variables of ERS/ESC and REVEAL LITE 2 scales, included in patient characterization database. <b>Results:</b> Figure 1 presents a "network design" from pattern of coexisting variables, from the mentioned scales. Each node represents a variable of the scales, its size is proportional to the percentage of patients with available data. Nodes are linked if one or more subjects share the description of the variables. <b>Conclusions:</b> It is possible finding other registration sources with additional data to fulfill the characterization; However, an ICT-based application may improve the care supply and quality for HP patients.
