Predictive value of the serum sodium to log(D-dimer) ratio for the risk of all-cause death in patients with chronic heart failure with different ejection fractions
摘要
The ratio of serum sodium to log(D-dimer) (log-SDR) in different types of chronic heart failure (CHF) is not well established.
MethodsA total of 1,221 hospitalized CHF patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2017 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into log-SDR-L group (log-SDR < 47.90) and log-SDR-H group (log-SDR ≥ 47.90).Prognostic assessments included Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox survival analyses and time-dependent Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis to evaluate predictive performance.
ResultsWe collected data from 1008 patients with CHF. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high log-SDR levels had better overall survival (OS). After multivariate adjustment Cox proportional hazards analysis, the level of log-SDR was still independently related to mortality, regardless of CHF subtype.
Conclusionslog-SDR is an important predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with HF, especially female HFrEF plus HFmrEF(HR:0.927, 95%CI:0.898–0.958, p < 0.001). Lower log-SDR levels are associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, irrespective of the HF subtype.
