The predictive value of platelet to lymphocyte ratio and D-dimer to fibrinogen ratio combined with WELLS score on lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in young patients with cerebral hemorrhage.

OBJECTIVE

To study the predictive effect on YCH patients complicated with LEDVT by PLR and DFR combined with WELLS score.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A total of 109 patients with YCH were selected as the research subjects. Patients with combined LEDVT were in the thrombosis group (33 cases), and without LEDVT in the non-thrombosis group (76 cases). Wells score was used to evaluate the vascular of the lower extremities. The PLR and DFR were calculated. The diagnostic value of PLR and DFR combined with the Wells score was evaluated by the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and other indicators in the ROC.

RESULTS

The values of PLR, DFR, and Wells score in the thrombus group were 149.20 ± 52.17, 118.46 ± 8.37, and 2.67 ± 0.48, and that of the non-thrombotic group were 95.27 ± 29.48, 75.28 ± 10.16, and 0.72 ± 0.34, respectively. The differences were statistically significant. ROC results showed good diagnosis power of PLR (sensitivity 86.35%, specificity 75.18%, AUC 0.702.), DFR (sensitivity 88.57%, specificity 79.21%, AUC 0.786.), and the Wells score (sensitivity 90.17%, specificity 81.06%, AUC 0.889.). The combined application of the Wells score, PLR, and DFR for the occurrence of LEDVT had a sensitivity of 97.65%, a specificity of 92.43%, a missed diagnosis rate of 2.35%, and a misdiagnosis rate of 7.57%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.951, which was higher than using these variables independently.

CONCLUSIONS

PLR and DFR combined with Wells score have high specificity for predicting LEDVT in YCH patients with low missed diagnosis and low misdiagnosis rates. They are worthy of popularization and application.
