Good news: treatments have significantly increased five-year survival for CTEPH

Since the 1980s, treatment options for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) have increased. This study looked at whether five-year survival for CTEPH patients also improved.


The researchers looked at 834 CTEPH patients, dividing them into early (1980s and 1990s), middle (2000s), and late (2010-2023) eras.


  • Early era patients received CTEPH therapy only 35% of the time, and 68% survived for five years.

  • Middle era patients received therapy 64% of the time. 85% survived for five years.

  • Late era patients received therapy 97% of the time, and 93% survived for five years.


Clearly, CTEPH therapies and the long-term prognosis of patients with CTEPH have improved substantially in recent decades.

Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu جلب الحبيب chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục جلب الحبيب cách sắp xếp شيخ روحاني các mục và trình bày nội شيخ روحاني dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các Huren Berlin mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối với mình như Hurentest Berlin vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب

Great to see survival rates improving so much over the decades! Reminds me of super mario bros. japan, where each era feels like a new level.

That jump from 35% receiving therapy in the early era to 97% recently, with five-year survival going from 68% to 93%, really stuck with me. My uncle was diagnosed late, and just getting him to a specialized CTEPH team changed everything. Keeping a simple symptom and medication log helped us spot changes between visits and ask better questions. It makes me wonder how much survival gains now depend on access, not just new treatments.

Great to see survival rates improving for CTEPH patients! By the way, if you ever need to make a quick meme or joke image, I found this site that lets you create a bad quality image easily.
