Abstract

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a lethal complication affecting 26% of patients. The cross-sectional study was conducted to determine rick factors associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis. Among 50 patients with SSc - PAH and 25 patients with SSc - nonPAH at Center of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Bach Mai hospital for 1 year (from June 2017 to June 2018). The result showed, age from 20 to 40 and anti RNP positive increase rick of PAH with odds ratio 5.4 (95%CI: 1.14 - 25.81) and 9 (95%CI: 1.01 - 80.1), respectively. NT-proBNP and Rodnan score were independent rick factors that associated pulmonary arterial hypertesion in systemic sclerosis. An increase of 1 poin in Rodnan score was associated with a 1.039 times higher in rick of PAH and an increase of 1 pmo/L in NT-proBNP was associated with a 1.079 times higher in rick of PAH, correct prediction percentage was 80.7%.
