Coagulopathy and inflammation are associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity. This study assessed D-dimer concentration and its correlation with inflammatory markers and COVID-19 severity.
This was a retrospective cross-sectional study involving 194 COVID-19 cases, with the severity of infection graded in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. We measured D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), and ferritin on admission and determined the cutoff values for D-dimer and CRP and evaluated the correlation between D-dimer and CRP and ferritin.
Median D-dimer, CRP, and ferritin concentrations were 2240 µg/L, 73.2 mg/L, and 1173.8 µg/mL, respectively. The highest median D-dimer value was seen in mild and moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The highest ferritin concentration was seen in severe ARDS. There was a significant correlation between D-dimer value and CRP (r = 0.327), but no significant correlation between D-dimer and ferritin (r = 0.101). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the combination of CRP ≥72.65 mg/L and D-dimer ≥1250 µg/L as a marker of COVID-19 severity was 0.722 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.615-0.781).
The combination of CRP ≥72.65 mg/L and D-dimer ≥1250 µg/L can be used as marker of COVID-19 severity, with moderate accuracy.
凝血功能障碍和炎症与 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的严重程度有关。本研究评估了 D-二聚体浓度及其与炎症标志物和 COVID-19 严重程度的相关性。
这是一项回顾性的横断面研究,涉及 194 例 COVID-19 病例,感染严重程度根据世界卫生组织(WHO)指南进行分级。我们在入院时测量 D-二聚体、C 反应蛋白(CRP)和铁蛋白,并确定 D-二聚体和 CRP 的截断值,评估 D-二聚体与 CRP 和铁蛋白之间的相关性。
中位数 D-二聚体、CRP 和铁蛋白浓度分别为 2240μg/L、73.2mg/L 和 1173.8μg/mL。轻度和中度急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)患者的 D-二聚体中位数最高。严重 ARDS 患者的铁蛋白浓度最高。D-二聚体值与 CRP 之间存在显著相关性(r=0.327),但与铁蛋白之间无显著相关性(r=0.101)。CRP≥72.65mg/L 和 D-二聚体≥1250μg/L 作为 COVID-19 严重程度标志物的组合的受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.722(95%置信区间(CI):0.615-0.781)。
CRP≥72.65mg/L 和 D-二聚体≥1250μg/L 的组合可作为 COVID-19 严重程度的标志物,具有中等准确性。
