Abstract
Background: Major intraoperative blood loss (MIBL) is associated with increased morbidity and poorer outcomes. This study investigates whether preoperative mean platelet volume (MPV) may serve as a predictive biomarker for MIBL in patients undergoing degenerative lumbar surgery.
Methods: A retrospective review of 421 patients with lumbar degenerative disease who underwent surgery from July 2019 to July 2022 was conducted. MIBL was defined as blood loss > 1000 ml. Patients were divided into MIBL and non-MIBL groups. Potential risk factors, including MPV, were compared. The optimal MPV cutoff (10.1) was determined using ROC analysis and Youden's index. Patients were grouped into high MPV (≥10.1 fL)and low MPV ( < 10.1 fL). Logistic regression identified independent risk factors for MIBL.
Results: The cohort included 192 males (45.6%) and 229 females (54.4%), with a mean age of 61.4 ± 8.6 years. MIBL occurred in 73 patients (17.3%). The MPV distribution was 37.8% ( < 10.1 fL) and 62.2% (≥10.1 fL). Logistic regression revealed that higher mean arterial pressure (OR 3.11, 95% CI 1.72-5.21, p < 0.001), greater number of fused levels (OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.72-4.53, p = 0.016), longer surgical duration (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.43-2.89, p = 0.021), and lower MPV (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.17-2.26, p = 0.027)were independently associated with MIBL.
Conclusions: Lower MPV may indicate an increased risk of intraoperative blood loss in lumbar degenerative surgery. Monitoring MPV - a simple, cost-effective biomarker - may assist in optimizing fluid management and blood conservation strategies. However, given the retrospective nature of this study, these findings should be interpreted with caution.
背景:术中大量失血(MIBL)与发病率增加和预后较差相关。本研究探讨了术前平均血小板体积(MPV)是否可以作为退行性腰椎手术患者MIBL的预测性生物标志物。方法:对2019年7月至2022年7月行腰椎退行性疾病手术治疗的421例患者进行回顾性分析。MIBL定义为失血量> 1000ml。将患者分为MIBL组和非MIBL组。比较包括MPV在内的潜在危险因素。采用ROC分析和约登指数确定最佳MPV截止值(10.1)。结果:男性192例(45.6%),女性229例(54.4%),平均年龄61.4±8.6岁。73例(17.3%)发生MIBL。MPV分布为37.8% (p = 0.016),较长的手术时间(OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.43-2.89, p = 0.021)和较低的MPV (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.17-2.26, p = 0.027)与MIBL独立相关。结论:较低的MPV可能表明腰椎退行性手术中术中失血风险增加。监测MPV是一种简单、经济的生物标志物,可以帮助优化流体管理和血液保护策略。然而,考虑到本研究的回顾性,这些发现应谨慎解释。
