Abstract
Background and aim: The D-dimer to fibrinogen ratio (DFR) represents an emerging and significant clinical biomarker. However, its correlation with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) remains underexplored. This retrospective cohort study aims to elucidate the association between DFR values and the severity and prognosis of CVT.
Methods: Severe CVT was defined as the presence of at least 1 of the following risk factors: mental status disorder, coma state, intracranial cerebral hemorrhage, or thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system. The modified Rankin Scale was utilized to assess functional outcomes. DFR measurements were obtained within 24 h of hospital admission. Logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the prognostic significance of DFR. After Bonferroni correction, a two-tailed P value < 0.017 (0.05/3) was considered statistically significant.
Result: A total of 196 patients were included in the study, among whom 85 patients were diagnosed with severe CVT, and 35 and 14 patients experienced short-term and long-term adverse outcomes, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that DFR has predictive value for severe CVT, poor short-term and long-term outcomes, with area under the curve values of 0.690 [95% CI: 0.617-0.764, P < .001], 0.773 [95% CI: 0.701-0.845, P < .001], and 0.754 [95% CI: 0.619-0.886, P = .002], respectively. DFR ≥ 0.253 was identified as a significant predictor of severe CVT [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (95% CI): 2.03 (1.10-3.75), P = .024]. Additionally, DFR ≥ 0.322 and DFR ≥ 0.754 were significantly associated with poor short-term outcomes at discharge [aOR (95% CI): 2.63 (1.43-4.76), P = .002] and poor long-term outcomes at 12 months [aOR (95% CI): 2.86 (1.32-6.25), P = .008], respectively.
Conclusion: Elevated DFR is associated with increased severity of CVT. Additionally, higher DFR levels can predict poorer clinical outcomes in CVT.
期刊介绍：
Thrombosis Journal is an open-access journal that publishes original articles on aspects of clinical and basic research, new methodology, case reports and reviews in the areas of thrombosis.
Topics of particular interest include the diagnosis of arterial and venous thrombosis, new antithrombotic treatments, new developments in the understanding, diagnosis and treatments of atherosclerotic vessel disease, relations between haemostasis and vascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, immunology and obesity.
