The prognostic impact of platelet distribution width (PDW), which is a specific marker of platelet activation, has been unclear in patients with heart failure (HF).
We conducted a prospective observational study enrolling 1,746 hospitalized patients with HF. Patients were divided into tertiles based on levels of PDW: 1st (PDW < 15.9 fL, n = 586), 2nd (PDW 15.9-16.8 fL, n = 617), and 3rd (PDW ≥ 16.9, n = 543) tertiles. We compared baseline patients' characteristics and post-discharge prognosis: all-cause death; cardiac death; and cardiac events. The 3rd tertile showed the highest age and levels of B-type natriuretic peptide compared to other tertiles (1st, 2nd, and 3rd tertiles; age, 69.0, 68.0, and 70.0 years old, P = 0.038; B-type natriuretic peptide, 235.2, 171.9, and 241.0 pg/mL, P < 0.001). Left ventricular ejection fraction was equivalent among the tertiles. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, rates of all endpoints were the highest in the 3rd tertile (log-rank P < 0.001, respectively). The Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that the 3rd tertile was associated with adverse prognosis (all-cause death, hazard ratio [HR] 1.716, P < 0.001; cardiac death, HR 1.919, P < 0.001; cardiac event, HR 1.401, P = 0.002).
High PDW is a novel predictor of adverse prognosis in patients with HF.
血小板分布宽度(PDW)作为血小板活化的一项特定标志物,其对心力衰竭(HF)患者预后的影响尚不清楚。
我们开展了一项前瞻性观察性研究,纳入了1746例因心力衰竭住院的患者。根据PDW水平将患者分为三个三分位数组:第一组(PDW < 15.9 fL,n = 586)、第二组(PDW 15.9 - 16.8 fL,n = 617)和第三组(PDW≥16.9,n = 543)。我们比较了患者的基线特征和出院后的预后情况:全因死亡、心源性死亡和心脏事件。与其他三分位数组相比,第三组患者的年龄和B型利钠肽水平最高(第一组、第二组和第三组;年龄分别为69.0岁、68.0岁和70.0岁,P = 0.038;B型利钠肽分别为235.2、171.9和241.0 pg/mL,P < 0.001)。三分位数组间左心室射血分数相当。在Kaplan-Meier分析中,所有终点事件的发生率在第三组中最高(对数秩检验P均< 0.001)。Cox比例风险分析显示,第三组与不良预后相关(全因死亡,风险比[HR] 1.716,P < 0.001;心源性死亡,HR 1.919,P < 0.001;心脏事件,HR 1.401,P = 0.002)。
高血小板分布宽度是心力衰竭患者不良预后的一种新的预测指标。
