Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease 19 is a complex multisystem disease that continues to spread rapidly across the world. It is associated with elevations in inflammatory markers including the one produced during fibrinolysis, namely D-Dimer. Reports have shown marked elevations in this protein fragment particularly in severe disease. We report our observations regarding change in D-Dimer and effect on mortality over time. Methods: We analyzed all adults between March and September 2020 who were admitted or managed in the emergency department for COVID19 infection within the University Hospitals Health System in Northeast Ohio. Delta d-dimer was defined as the change in d-dimer (Δd-dimer) from day of presentation to the maximum value between day 1 to 6 post admissions. Kaplan-Meier and cox regression analyses were performed to explore the association with mortality. Receiver operating characteristics were used to estimate discrimination power for mortality. Results: A total of 442 patients were included. Mean age was 64±16 years. A total of 93 patients were managed in the intensive care unit, 324 were managed as inpatient, and 25 patients were managed in the emergency department. The median admission d-dimer was 1169 [645-2208] ng/ml, and Δd-dimer was 75 [-334 to 717]. At a median follow-up of 108 days, 100 patients died (30-day mortality of 21%). The 30-day mortality was 12.3% for tertile 1, 12.2% for tertile 2, and 39.1% for tertile 3 of Δd-dimer, (Figure). Compared with tertile 1, patients in tertile 3 of Δd-dimer had 4-fold higher mortality (age-adjusted HR 3.77 [2.30-6.18], P<0.001). In multivariable analysis, Δd-dimer but not admission d-dimer (P=0.36) was associated with mortality after adjusting for age (per 1000 ng/mL increase: HR 1.017 [1.008-1.027], P<0.001). Δd-dimer had a good discriminative power for mortality (AUC=0.70). An increase in d-dimer of 540 ng/ml was determined to be the best threshold for mortality (sensitivity of 62% and specificity of 80%). Conclusions: Serial monitoring of D-Dimer during hospitalization to assess for change over time is a reliable prognostic marker for mortality in COVID-19 patients. Using it as an indicator to initiate therapeutic anticoagulation requires investigation.
冠状病毒病(covid - 19)住院患者d -二聚体变化及死亡率
背景:新型冠状病毒病是一种复杂的多系统疾病,在全球范围内持续快速传播。它与炎症标志物的升高有关,包括纤维蛋白溶解过程中产生的炎症标志物,即d -二聚体。有报道显示这种蛋白片段明显升高,特别是在严重疾病中。我们报告了我们关于d -二聚体变化及其随时间对死亡率的影响的观察结果。方法:我们分析了2020年3月至9月期间在俄亥俄州东北部大学医院卫生系统内因covid - 19感染而入院或在急诊科接受治疗的所有成年人。d-二聚体δ被定义为d-二聚体的变化(Δd-dimer)从介绍的第一天到入院后第1天至第6天的最大值。Kaplan-Meier和cox回归分析探讨其与死亡率的关系。使用受试者工作特征来估计死亡率的判别能力。结果:共纳入442例患者。平均年龄64±16岁。重症监护室共管理93例患者,住院患者324例,急诊科管理25例。入院d-二聚体的中位数为1169 [645-2208]ng/ml, Δd-dimer为75[-334 - 717]。在中位108天的随访中,100例患者死亡(30天死亡率为21%)。1号虫30天死亡率为12.3%,2号虫为12.2%,3号虫为39.1%(图)。与实验组1相比,Δd-dimer实验组3患者的死亡率高出4倍(年龄校正后危险度3.77 [2.30-6.18],P<0.001)。在多变量分析中,Δd-dimer而非入院d-二聚体(P=0.36)与年龄调整后的死亡率相关(每1000 ng/mL增加:HR 1.017 [1.008-1.027], P<0.001)。Δd-dimer对死亡率有很好的判别能力(AUC=0.70)。d-二聚体增加540 ng/ml被确定为死亡率的最佳阈值(敏感性62%,特异性80%)。结论:住院期间连续监测d -二聚体以评估其随时间变化是COVID-19患者死亡率的可靠预后指标。将其作为启动抗凝治疗的指标需要进一步研究。
