D-Dimer/Platelet Ratio Predicts in-Hospital Death in Patients with Acute Type a Aortic Dissection by Zhao A, Peng Y, Luo B, Chen Y, Chen L, Lin Y

“…Operation duration, hospital stay, ICU stay, mechanical ventilation time, and acute renal insufficiency in the death group were higher than those in the survival group (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed that DPR > 0.0305 ug/mL was an independent risk factor for death in ATAAD patients.Conclusion: Increased DPR is independently associated with in-hospital death in patients with ATAAD.Keywords: acute type A aortic dissection, death, D-dimer/platelet ratio, prognosis…”
