We aimed to assess the predicting value of C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) in the development of Oxygenation impairment (OI) in the patients with Stanford type-B acute aortic dissection (AAD).
This study included 133 patients (age = 58.8 ± 12.0 years, median age = 61 years, Male/Female = 117/16) diagnosed as Stanford type-B AAD accompanied by hypertension from July 2012 to May 2020. Clinical data were retrospectively extracted from the database. The patients in this study were divided into OI group (oxygenation index ≤ 200) and non-OI group (oxygenation index > 200). Clinical characteristics in both groups were compared, and predicting value of CAR in the development of OI was assessed.
Patients in OI group had higher peak body temperature (37.94 ± 0.62 vs. 37.67 ± 0.51 ℃, =.010), higher levels of serum CRP (41.74 ± 27.71 vs 15.21 ± 19.66 mg/L, =.000) and plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (292.14 ± 251.11 vs 179.80 ± 241.27 ng/L, =.016), lower levels of albumin (34.00 ± 5.14 vs 37.72 ± 5.24 g/L, =.000), and higher CAR (1.27 ± 0.89 vs 0.41 ± 0.53, =.000). In multivariate regression analysis, CAR (odds ratio: 5.215, 95 % CI: 2.682; 10.137, =.000) and the peak body temperature (odds ratio: 2.905, 95 % CI: 1.255; 6.724, =.013) could significantly predict the OI development. The AUC for CAR was 0.831 (95 % CI: 0.756-0.907). An optimal cutoff value for CAR for predicting OI was ≥ 0.70, with a sensitivity of 67.5 % and a specificity of 88.2 %.
Compared with CRP or albumin alone, the CAR might be a more accurate marker in predicting OI development in Stanford type-B AAD.
我们旨在评估C反应蛋白(CRP)/白蛋白比值(CAR)对斯坦福B型急性主动脉夹层(AAD)患者氧合障碍(OI)发生的预测价值。
本研究纳入了2012年7月至2020年5月期间诊断为伴有高血压的斯坦福B型AAD的133例患者(年龄=58.8±12.0岁,中位年龄=61岁,男/女=117/16)。临床数据从数据库中进行回顾性提取。本研究中的患者被分为OI组(氧合指数≤200)和非OI组(氧合指数>200)。比较两组的临床特征,并评估CAR对OI发生的预测价值。
OI组患者的体温峰值更高(37.94±0.62 vs. 37.67±0.51℃,P=0.010),血清CRP水平更高(41.74±27.71 vs 15.21±19.66mg/L,P=0.000),血浆B型利钠肽水平更高(292.14±251.11 vs 179.80±241.27ng/L,P=0.016),白蛋白水平更低(34.00±5.14 vs 37.72±5.24g/L,P=0.000),CAR更高(1.27±0.89 vs 0.41±0.53,P=0.000)。在多因素回归分析中,CAR(比值比:5.215,95%置信区间:2.682;10.137,P=0.000)和体温峰值(比值比:2.905,95%置信区间:1.255;6.724,P=0.013)可显著预测OI的发生。CAR的曲线下面积为0.831(95%置信区间:0.756-0.907)。预测OI的CAR最佳截断值为≥0.70,敏感性为67.5%,特异性为88.2%。
与单独的CRP或白蛋白相比,CAR可能是预测斯坦福B型AAD患者OI发生的更准确标志物。
