abstract = {Background: Data regarding clinical and radiological features of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and concomitant chronic respiratory disease (CRD) are limited. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to investigate clinico-radiological features of this patient population.
Methods: Patients with PTE were retrospectively classified into one of two groups: those with and without CRD. Clinical characteristics, blood biomarkers, and computed tomographic (CT) findings were compared between the groups.
Results: Of 1,207 PTE patients included, CRD was detected in 128 (11%). The most common CRD was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [41 (32%)], followed by bronchial anthracofibrosis [32 (25%)]. In multivariate analysis, unprovoked PTE [odds ratio (OR) 1.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29–3.05, P=0.002], dyspnea (OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.11–2.34, P=0.041), lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) (OR 3.90, 95% CI: 2.13–7.14, P},
