Influence of patients’ sex on radiomics-based predictions of lung artery thrombus

1

Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a prevalent cardiovascular disease with high mortality rates.
2

Radiomics features can aid in predicting mortality outcomes in APE patients based on CT pulmonary angiogram images.
3

The study included a dataset of 427 APE patients, evenly split between 100 female and 100 male individuals for analysis.
4

Troponin levels were analyzed alongside mortality to explore correlations with radiomics features based on patient sex.
5

The research aims to clarify the impact of patient gender on radiomics-based predictions for mortality and troponin levels.
