?Results ?A total of 128 lung cancer patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria.When the number of suspicious clinical features was >=1, the diagnosis for PE had the highest diagnostic accuracy, with a sensitivity of 98.1% and an NPV of 90.0%.When the number of suspicious clinical features was ?>3, the diagnosis for PE had the highest diagnostic accuracy, with a specificity of 100% and a PPV of 100% ().We found statistically significant differences between two groups in age, comorbidities as hypertension, surgery, hyperlipidemia, risk factor as long-term bedridden status, signs as calf swelling, and proximal DVT (P<0.05 for all determinations) by univariate analysis.The cut-off value for predicting PE in lung cancers patients with VTE was 1.5.

‏Results
‏A total of 128 lung cancer patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among them, 8 patients were excluded due to recurrent DVT and vena cava filter implantation; 2 were excluded as they were previously under anticoagulation, thrombectomy and other treatments prior to admission, and another 28 patients were excluded due to incomplete clinical data. Finally, a total of 90 lung cancer patients with DVT .
‏Among the 90 included patients, 54 (60%) presented with PE . The mean age was 70.210.3 years for patients with DVT with PE and 65.88.4 years for patients without PE (P
