Tumor-related coagulation dysfunction has been reported to be closely associated with poor prognosis. The present study is aimed to evaluate the prognostic prediction of an elevated plasma D-dimer cut-off value in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
A total of 233 patients initially diagnosed with advanced NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed, an elevated plasma cut-off value 981 ng/mL of D-dimer, which was instead of the clinical cut-off value 500 mg/mL, was used to determine the high and low. Univariate analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-ranking test, and the multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazard regression model were performed.
Results showed when using the D-dimer value of 500 ng/mL as an evaluation standard, there was no significant difference in gender, age, smoking status, histopathology and overall survival rate between normal D-dimer (≤500 ng/mL) and high D-dimer (>500 ng/mL) group. However, when the evaluation standard for plasma D-dimer was set at 981 ng/mL, the age distribution of the high D-dimer (>981 ng/mL) group was significantly different from the normal D-dimer (≤981 ng/mL) group. Moreover, the overall survival rate in the high D-dimer (>981 ng/mL) group was significantly lower than that in the normal D-dimer (≤981 ng/mL) group.
The present study implied that increasing the plasma D-dimer cut-off value to 981 ng/mL is more beneficial to prognosis prediction in advanced NSCLC.
肿瘤相关凝血功能障碍与预后不良密切相关。本研究旨在评估血浆D-二聚体临界值升高对晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)预后预测的价值。
回顾性分析233例初诊为晚期NSCLC的患者,采用血浆D-二聚体临界值981 ng/mL而非临床临界值500 ng/mL来划分高低水平。使用Kaplan-Meier法和对数秩检验进行单因素分析,并用Cox比例风险回归模型进行多因素分析。
结果显示,以500 ng/mL的D-二聚体值作为评估标准时,正常D-二聚体(≤500 ng/mL)组和高D-二聚体(>500 ng/mL)组在性别、年龄、吸烟状况、组织病理学和总生存率方面无显著差异。然而,当血浆D-二聚体的评估标准设定为981 ng/mL时,高D-二聚体(>981 ng/mL)组的年龄分布与正常D-二聚体(≤981 ng/mL)组显著不同。此外,高D-二聚体(>981 ng/mL)组的总生存率显著低于正常D-二聚体(≤981 ng/mL)组。
本研究表明,将血浆D-二聚体临界值提高到981 ng/mL对晚期NSCLC的预后预测更有益。
