Prognostic value of baseline plasma D-dimer levels in sepsis: a prospective cohort study
Background
Plasma D-dimer, a fibrin degradation product, reflects coagulation activation and is often elevated in critically ill patients. Its prognostic significance in sepsis, particularly for short-term outcomes, remains unclear.
Methods
In this prospective cohort study, we enrolled 175 adult ICU patients with sepsis (Sepsis-3 criteria) from March 2024 to February 2025. Plasma D-dimer levels were measured at ICU admission and daily for five days. D-dimer levels were categorized into quartiles. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality; secondary outcome was in-hospital septic shock. Associations were analyzed using Cox regression, Kaplan–Meier analysis, and subgroup analysis.
Results
Elevated admission D-dimer levels were significantly associated with increased risks of 30-day mortality and septic shock. Each 1 μg/mL increase in D-dimer was linked to a 6 % higher mortality risk (HR = 1.06; 95 % CI: 1.02–1.11; P = 0.008) and an 8 % higher septic shock risk (HR = 1.08; 95 % CI: 1.03–1.12; P < 0.001), after adjusting for confounders. Patients in the highest quartile had the worst outcomes. A significant interaction with serum amyloid A (SAA) was observed for mortality (P = 0.043), but not for septic shock.
Conclusion
Baseline plasma D-dimer levels independently predict 30-day mortality and septic shock in sepsis. D-dimer may serve as a valuable early biomarker for risk stratification in sepsis management.
期刊介绍:
Practical Laboratory Medicine is a high-quality, peer-reviewed, international open-access journal publishing original research, new methods and critical evaluations, case reports and short papers in the fields of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. The objective of the journal is to provide practical information of immediate relevance to workers in clinical laboratories. The primary scope of the journal covers clinical chemistry, hematology, molecular biology and genetics relevant to laboratory medicine, microbiology, immunology, therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology, laboratory management and informatics. We welcome papers which describe critical evaluations of biomarkers and their role in the diagnosis and treatment of clinically significant disease, validation of commercial and in-house IVD methods, method comparisons, interference reports, the development of new reagents and reference materials, reference range studies and regulatory compliance reports. Manuscripts describing the development of new methods applicable to laboratory medicine (including point-of-care testing) are particularly encouraged, even if preliminary or small scale.
