ARTERIAL PARTIAL PRESSURE OF OXYGEN AND PROCALCITONIN LEVELS CORRELATE WITH PULMONARY ARTERY SYSTOLIC PRESSURE IN PATIENTS WITH ACTIVE PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Arterial partial pressure of oxygen and procalcitonin levels correlate with pulmonary artery systolic pressure in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis

Object: We aimed to study pretend play whether arterial blood gas parameters, inflammatory markers, and coagulation indicators correlate with pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) values in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).Methods: A total of 121 patients with PTB who had a measurement of PASP by Doppler echocardiography in the
