Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a well-recognized complication of cancer. Laboratory parameters might be useful to assess the VTE risk in patients with cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate D-dimer and prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F 1 + 2), which reflect activation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, for prediction of cancer-associated VTE.
In a prospective, observational, cohort study of 821 patients with newly diagnosed cancer or progression of disease who did not recently receive chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery were enrolled and followed for a median of 501 days (interquartile range, 255 to 731 days). The malignancies in these patients were as follows: breast (n = 132), lung (n = 119), stomach (n = 35), lower gastrointestinal tract (n = 106), pancreas (n = 46), kidney (n = 22), and prostate (n = 101) cancers; high-grade glioma (n = 102); malignant lymphoma (n = 94); multiple myeloma (n = 17); and other tumor types (n = 47). The study end point was occurrence of objectively confirmed symptomatic or fatal VTE.
VTE occurred in 62 patients (7.6%). The cutoff level for elevated D-dimer and elevated F 1 + 2 was set at the 75th percentile of the total study population. In multivariable analysis that included elevated D-dimer, elevated F 1 + 2, age, sex, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the hazard ratios (HRs) of VTE in patients with elevated D-dimer (HR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.0 to 3.2; P = .048) and elevated F 1 + 2 (HR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.6; P = .015) were statistically significantly increased. The cumulative probability of developing VTE after 6 months was highest in patients with both elevated D-dimer and elevated F 1 + 2 (15.2%) compared with patients with nonelevated D-dimer and nonelevated F 1 + 2 (5.0%; P < .001).
High D-dimer and F 1 + 2 levels independently predict occurrence of VTE in patients with cancer.
静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)是一种公认的癌症并发症。实验室指标可能有助于评估癌症患者的VTE风险。本研究旨在探讨反映凝血和纤溶激活的D - 二聚体和凝血酶原片段1 + 2(F 1 + 2)对预测癌症相关VTE的价值。
在一项前瞻性、观察性队列研究中,纳入821例新诊断癌症或疾病进展且近期未接受化疗、放疗或手术的患者,中位随访501天(四分位间距,255至731天)。这些患者的恶性肿瘤类型如下:乳腺癌(n = 132)、肺癌(n = 119)、胃癌(n = 35)、下消化道癌(n = 106)、胰腺癌(n = 46)、肾癌(n = 22)、前列腺癌(n = 101);高级别胶质瘤(n = 102);恶性淋巴瘤(n = 94);多发性骨髓瘤(n = 17);以及其他肿瘤类型(n = 47)。研究终点为客观证实的有症状或致命性VTE的发生。
62例患者(7.6%)发生VTE。将D - 二聚体升高和F 1 + 2升高的临界值设定为整个研究人群的第75百分位数。在包括D - 二聚体升高、F 1 + 2升高、年龄、性别、手术、化疗和放疗的多变量分析中,D - 二聚体升高患者发生VTE的风险比(HR,1.8;95% CI,1.0至3.2;P = .048)和F 1 + 2升高患者发生VTE的风险比(HR,2.0;95% CI,1.2至3.6;P = .015)在统计学上显著升高。与D - 二聚体和F 1 + 2均未升高的患者(5.0%;P < .001)相比,D - 二聚体和F 上均升高的患者6个月后发生VTE的累积概率最高(15.2%)。
高D - 二聚体和F 1 + 上水平可独立预测癌症患者VTE的发生。
