Association between right atrial area measured by echocardiography and prognosis among pulmonary arterial hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ke Liu, Chunhua Zhang, Bingyu Chen, Mingfeng Li, Peican Zhang

“…Objective The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between enlarged right atrial area (RAA), as measured by echocardiography, and prognosis of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.Data sources To identify potential publications, a comprehensive literature search through MEDLINE, the Cochrane database and the Embase database was performed up to December 2019.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Studies were included if they reported Cox regression based-HRs with 95% CIs for all-cause mortality or composite endpoint consisting of death and PAH-related events for echocardiography measurements of the RAA or the right atrial area index (RAAI) in patients with PAH.Data extraction and synthesis The unadjusted HR with 95% CI was extracted for the final pooled analysis. …”
