Studies on the association between microparticle expressing tissue factor (MP-TF) activity, FVIII activity (
C) and recurrent VTE yielded inconclusive results. We studied these associations in patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism. Plasma levels of MP-TF and FVIII activity were measured in 277 patients with a first and 72 patients with a recurrent VTE. All patients were categorized based on the quintiles of MP-TF and FVIII activity in those with a single VTE. For both markers, odds ratios (ORs) for recurrent VTE were computed using patients in the lowest quintile as a reference group. No association was observed between MP-TF activity and recurrent VTE, with an OR of 1.4 (95 % CI 0.7-2.9) in the highest quintile of MP-TF activity. Compared with the reference group, patients in the highest quintile of
C were at increased risk of recurrent VTE, OR 4.2 (95 % CI 1.4-12.2). MP-TF activity was not associated with recurrent VTE whereas high
C levels were associated with a 4-fold increased risk of VTE recurrence. Future prospective studies are necessary to explore the potential of
C as a tool for risk stratification, either by itself or in combination with other pro-thrombotic markers.
关于表达组织因子的微粒(MP-TF)活性、FVIII活性(FVIII:C)与复发性静脉血栓栓塞(VTE)之间关联的研究结果尚无定论。我们在诊断为急性肺栓塞的患者中研究了这些关联。对277例首次发生VTE的患者和72例复发性VTE患者测定了血浆MP-TF水平和FVIII活性。所有患者根据单次VTE患者中MP-TF和FVIII活性的五分位数进行分类。对于这两种标志物,以最低五分位数的患者作为参照组,计算复发性VTE的比值比(OR)。未观察到MP-TF活性与复发性VTE之间存在关联,在MP-TF活性最高五分位数中,OR为1.4(95%CI 0.7 - 2.9)。与参照组相比,FVIII:C最高五分位数的患者复发性VTE风险增加,OR为4.2(95%CI 1.4 - 12.2)。MP-TF活性与复发性VTE无关,而高FVIII:C水平与VTE复发风险增加4倍相关。未来有必要进行前瞻性研究,以探索FVIII:C作为风险分层工具的潜力,无论是单独使用还是与其他促血栓形成标志物联合使用。
