Hypercoagulability and thrombo-inflammation are the main reasons for death in COVID-19 patients. It is unclear whether there is a difference between D-dimer levels in patients without or with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrails.gov databases looking for studies reporting D-dimer levels in patients without or with COVID-19 ARDS. Secondary endpoints included length of hospital stay, and mortality data at the longest follow-up available.
We included 12 retrospective and 3 prospective studies with overall 2,828 patients, of whom 1,404 (49.6%) had non-COVID-19 ARDS and 1,424 had COVID-19 ARDS. D-dimer levels were not significantly higher in non-COVID-19 ARDS than in COVID-19 ARDS patients (mean 7.65 mg/L vs. mean 6.20 mg/L MD 0.88 [CI: -0.61 to 2.38] p = 0.25; I² = 85%) while the length of hospital stay was shorter (non-COVID-19 mean 37.4 days vs. COVID-19 mean 48.5 days, MD -10.92 [CI: -16.71 to -5.14] p < 0.001; I² = 44%). No difference in mortality was observed: non-COVID-19 ARDS 418/1167 (35.8%) vs. COVID-19 ARDS 467/1201 (38.8%).
We found no difference in the mean D-dimer levels between non-COVID-19 ARDS and COVID-19 ARDS patients.
高凝状态和血栓炎症是 COVID-19 患者死亡的主要原因。目前尚不清楚 COVID-19 急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)患者与非 COVID-19 患者的 D-二聚体水平是否存在差异。
我们检索了 PubMed、EMBASE 和 ClinicalTrails.gov 数据库,以寻找报告 COVID-19 非 ARDS 和 COVID-19 ARDS 患者 D-二聚体水平的研究。次要终点包括最长随访时间的住院时间和死亡率数据。
我们纳入了 12 项回顾性研究和 3 项前瞻性研究,共纳入 2828 例患者,其中 1404 例(49.6%)为非 COVID-19 ARDS,1424 例为 COVID-19 ARDS。非 COVID-19 ARDS 患者的 D-二聚体水平并不明显高于 COVID-19 ARDS 患者(均值 7.65mg/L 比均值 6.20mg/L MD 0.88[CI:-0.61 至 2.38]p=0.25;I²=85%),但住院时间更短(非 COVID-19 平均 37.4 天,COVID-19 平均 48.5 天,MD-10.92[CI:-16.71 至-5.14]p<0.001;I²=44%)。死亡率无差异:非 COVID-19 ARDS 418/1167(35.8%)与 COVID-19 ARDS 467/1201(38.8%)。
我们发现 COVID-19 非 ARDS 和 COVID-19 ARDS 患者的 D-二聚体平均水平无差异。
