Application value of D-dimer detection in patients with acute spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of serum D-dimer in evaluating the severity and the prognosis of patients with acute spontaneous subrachnoid hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 157 patients with acute spontaneous subrachnoid hemorrhage were collected,and the level of D-dimer in elbow vein serum were measured.The severity of the disease was judged by Hunt-Hess classification,and the patients,brain CT scans were scored according to the modified Fisher scale.The patients were followed up for 3 months.Based on the modified RANKIN scale (mRS scale),patients were divided into unfavorable prognosis group (3≤ mRS ≤5) and good prognosis control group (1 ≤ mRS ≤2).Results In the 157 cases of spontaneous subrachnoid hemorrhage patients,there were 45 cases in the unfavorable prognosis group and 112 cases in the good prognosis control group.The level of D-dimer in the unfavorable prognosis group was significantly higher than the level of control group and there were significant differences between them (P ＜ 0.01).By the Spearman correlation analysis,the level of D-dimer was positively correlated with Hunt-Hess score (r =0.831,P ＜0.01),and it was also positively correlated with unfavourable prognosis mRS scale (r =0.834,P ＜0.01).Furthermore,regression analysis showed that high level of D-dimer was an independent risk factor for the poor prognosis of patients (OR =1.011,95％ CI1.007-1.016,P ＜ 0.01).Through the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis of the D-dimer in patients with poor prognosis,the area under ROC curve was 0.964 (95％ CI0.93-0.98,P ＜ 0.01),sensitivity and specificity were 88.9％ and 99.1％,respectively.The cut-off point of D-dimer content was 739 μg/L.Conclusions The level of D-dimer in patients with acute spontaneous subrachnoid hemorrhage was closely related to the severity of the diseases,and high level of D-dimer was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients.
