Acute aortic dissection (AD) represents a diagnostic conundrum. Validated algorithms are particularly needed to identify patients where AD could be ruled out without aortic imaging. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a strategy combining the aortic dissection detection (ADD) risk score with D-dimer, a sensitive biomarker of AD.
Patients from two clinical centers with suspected AD were prospectively enrolled in a registry, from January 2008 to March 2013. The ADD risk score was calculated by retrospective blinded chart review. For D-dimer, a cutoff of 500 ng/ml was applied.
AD was diagnosed in 233 of 1035 (22.5%) patients. The ADD risk score was 0 in 322 (31.1%), 1 in 508 (49.1%) and >1 in 205 (19.8%) patients. The sensitivity and the failure rate of D-dimer were 100% and 0% in patients with ADD score 0, versus 97.5% (95% CI 91.4-99.6%) and 4.2% (95% CI 0.7-12.5%) in patients with ADD risk score >1. In patients with ADD risk score ≤ 1, the sensitivity and the failure rate of D-dimer were 98.7% (95% CI 95.3-99.8%) and 0.8% (95% CI 0.1-2.6%). The diagnostic efficiency of D-dimer in patients with ADD risk score 0 and ≤ 1 was 8.9% (95% CI 7.2-10.7%) and 23.6% (95% CI 21.1-26.2%) respectively.
In a large cohort of patients with suspected AD, the presence of ADD risk score 0 or ≤ 1 combined with a negative D-dimer accurately and efficiently ruled out AD.
急性主动脉夹层(AD)是一个诊断难题。尤其需要经过验证的算法来识别无需主动脉成像即可排除AD的患者。我们评估了将主动脉夹层检测(ADD)风险评分与D - 二聚体(AD的一种敏感生物标志物)相结合的策略的诊断准确性。
2008年1月至2013年3月,来自两个临床中心疑似AD的患者被前瞻性纳入一个登记系统。ADD风险评分通过回顾性盲法病历审查计算得出。对于D - 二聚体,采用500 ng/ml的临界值。
1035例患者中有233例(22.5%)被诊断为AD。ADD风险评分为0的患者有322例(31.1%),评分为1的患者有508例(49.1%),评分>1的患者有205例(19.8%)。ADD评分为0的患者中,D - 二聚体的敏感性和漏诊率分别为100%和0%,而ADD风险评分>1的患者中,敏感性为97.5%(95%CI 91.4 - 99.6%),漏诊率为4.2%(95%CI 0.7 - 12.5%)。在ADD风险评分≤1的患者中,D - 二聚体的敏感性和漏诊率分别为98.7%(95%CI 95.3 - 99.8%)和0.8%(95%CI 0.1 - 2.6%)。ADD风险评分为0和≤1的患者中,D - 二聚体的诊断效率分别为8.9%(95%CI 7.2 - 10.7%)和23.6%(95%CI 21.1 - 26.2%)。
在一大群疑似AD的患者中,ADD风险评分为0或≤1且D - 二聚体阴性可准确有效地排除AD。
