Abstract:
Objective: To explore the predictive value of serum prealbumin (PALB), albumin (ALB) and D-dimer (D-Di) in the severity and prognosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE).
Methods: 246 patients first diagnosed with APE in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from 2013 to 2021 were collected.According to the risk stratification criteria, the patients were divided into low-risk group (81 cases), medium-risk group (122 cases) and high-risk group (43 cases).According to the 30-day in-hospital survival status, the patients were divided into survival group (203 cases) and death group (43 cases).The relevant indicators of different disease severity levels and different prognosis groups were compared.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods were used to study the adverse factors and independent factors affecting the survival and prognosis of APE patients within 30 days.Spearman correlation analysis was used to compare the correlation between the relevant indexes of APE patients with different disease severity levels and the pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI).The ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of PALB and other indicators on the prognosis of APE patients.
Results: The levels of PALB and ALB in APE patients in high-risk group were lower than those in non-high-risk group (
P< 0.05).The levels of PALB and ALB in the death group were lower than those in the survival group (
P< 0.05).Correlation analysis showed that PALB (
r=-0.609) and ALB (
r=-0.401) were negatively correlated with PESI (all
P< 0.001); hs-TNT (
r=0.416), FIB (
r=0.438), D-Di (
r=0.400) were positively correlated with PESI (all
P< 0.001).The analysis of univariate and multivariate logistic regression models showed that ALB, PALB and D-Di were independent risk factors for 30-day hospital death of APE patients (
P< 0.05).ROC analysis showed that ALB, PALB and D-Di had certain predictive value for the prognosis of APE, and the combined detection of the three could further improve the predictive ability of the prognosis of APE patients.
Conclusion: PALB is closely related to the severity of APE, and the combined detection of ALB, PALB and D-Di has auxiliary predictive value for the prognosis of APE.
