ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of white blood cell and hemoglobin in patients with acute aortic dissection(AAD).Methods White blood cell.hemoglobin and fibrinogen were measured in 42 AAD patients.The mortality during hospitalization was observed and the short-term prognosis in AAD patients was as-seased.Results There was 13 death during hospitalization.with the mortality of 30.95%.The value of white blood cell was higher in death group than in survival group[(13.73±6.91)×109>/L vs.(9.43±4.97)×109>/L.P< 0.05).The value of hemoglobin was lower in death group of than in survival group[(118.54±22.38)g/L vs. (131.72±18.17) g/L,P<0.05].There were no differences in the value of fibrinogen between the groups [(3.15±1.15)g/L vs.(3.48±1.24)g/L,P>0.05).The mortality in the group of elevated white blood cell(≥10.0×109>/L)was higher than that in the group of normal white blood cell(10.0×109/L)(41.18%vs.24%.P<0.05).The mortality in the group of decreased hemoglobin(≤110g/L)was higher than that in the group of nor-mal hemoglobin(>110 g/L)(50.00%vs.27.78%,P<0.05).Conclusion The value of white blood cell and he-moglobin could help to assess the short-term prognosis of patients with AAD.
