Objective Pulmonary thromboembolism ( PTE) is associated with various risk factors which existed in multidisciplinary patients. It is necessary to know what the role of pulmonologists in the diagnosis of PTE. Methods Data were collected from thirteen general hospitals in Guangxi. Hospital records of PTE cases from1995 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. The rates of PTE to inpatients between the respiratory departments and other departments or between different periods were compared. Results The rates of PTE of inpatients in respiratory departments ( 1. 55‰, 170/109 577) was higher than that in other departments ( 0. 03‰, 69/2 322 944) , P lt; 0. 001. Compared to that of 1995-2001, the rate of PTE of inpatients in the respiratory departments in the last 6 years increased by 3220. 22% [ ( 2. 43‰,167/68 638) vs ( 0. 07‰, 3 /40 939) ] . During 1995-2001 and 2002-2007, the rates of PTE of inpatients in the respiratory departments were higher than those in other departments [ 0. 004‰ ( 4/1 012 830) during 1995-2001 and 0. 05‰( 65 /1 310 114) during 2002-2007, respectively] , P lt; 0. 01. Conclusion pulmonologists play an important role in the diagnosis of PTE in the recent years.
