ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of fibrinogen and D -dimer levels in patients with severe burn and their relationship with prognosis .Methods 90 patients with severe burn were selected as the subjects .The patients were divided into the dead group (30 cases) and the survival group (60 cases) according to the prognosis of the patients.The differences and changes of fibrinogen and D -dimer at the same time after admission were compared between the two groups .Results At each time point after admission , the fibrinogen levels of the death group were significantly higher than those of the survival group at the same time [(5.9 ±1.5)g/L vs.(5.1 ±1.3)g/L,(8.8 ± 2.2)g/L vs.(7.4 ±2.5)g/L,(7.6 ±2.8)g/L vs.(5.7 ±1.2)g/L,(7.1 ±2.5)g/L vs.(4.3 ±1.7)g/L],the differences were statistically significant(t =3.892,4.762,5.436,6.987,all P <0.05).At each time point after admission,the D-dimer levels of the death group were significantly higher than those of the survival group at the same time[(743.4 ±226.2)ng/mL vs.(704.1 ±214.6)ng/mL,(935.4 ±256.9)ng/mL vs.(834.6 ±256.2)ng/mL, (846.3 ±291.5)ng/mL vs.(712.1 ±251.3) ng/mL,(756.7 ±232.8) ng/mL vs.(601.5 ±168.7) ng/mL],the differences were statistically significant (t=3.895,5.477,4.743,5.746,all P<0.05).The level of D-dimer in the survival group showed a rise firstly ,then showed a decrease trend after admission ,while the levels of fibrinogen and D-dimer of the death group were altered in double -peak change .Conclusion There is an obvious impairment of coagulation function in severe burn patients , and the level of D -dimer and fibrinogen is higher , the prognosis of patients is worse .
