Description
A blood clot in the lungs is a medical emergency, and doctors need fast ways to judge how dangerous each case is. Ramazan Amanvermez and Fatih Çalışkan write to the editor in 2026 about one proposed shortcut: the EASIX index, built from routine lab values and meant to reflect damage to blood vessel linings.
The letter credits a recent study that linked high EASIX values to severe clots and deaths in hospital. It then presses points the study left thin: how the index connects to platelet and hemoglobin drops and to clotting test changes, and how emergency doctors would use it at the door. The writers ask for a clearer account of the vessel damage picture and of the index's place in first assessment.
