Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the risk factors of lung cancer with pulmonary embolism systematically. Methods By January 2021, pertinent literature on risk factors of lung cancer with pulmonary embolism were included form PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang database and others. Two researchers independently completed the literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation of the included literature. RevMan5.4 software and Stata16.0 software were used to conduct meta-analysis. Results A total of 25 studies involving 3480 patients were included. Meta-analysis results show that the risk factors of pulmonary embolism in patients with lung cancer include adenocarcinoma (OR =2.06, 95% CI [1.75, 2.44], P <0.01), tumor stage (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ)( OR =2.67, 95% CI [2.19, 3.26], P <0.01), chemotherapy (OR =2.69, 95% CI [2.08, 3.47], P <0.01), deep vein catheterization (OR =2.66, 95% CI [1.68, 4.19], P<0.01), albumin<30 g/L(OR=6.65, 95% CI [2.91, 15.18], P<0.01), D dimer>500 g/L (OR =5.87, 95% CI [2.12, 16.27], P <0.01), white blood cells >11×109/L(OR =8.26, 95% CI [4.50, 15.13], P <0.01) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(OR =1.51, 95% CI [1.16, 1.95], P <0.01). Conclusion The risk factors for pulmonary embolism with lung cancer are adenocarcinoma, tumor staging (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ), chemotherapy, deep venous catheterization, albumin <30 g/L, D-dimer >500 ng/mL, white blood cell >11×109/L and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality articles are needed to verify the conclusions.
