Abstract:Objective To analyze the value of serum D-dimer and creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) in predicting the prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Eighty patients with TBI treated at Suzhou Kowloon Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to May 2023 were selected. All patients received fluid replacement, brain protection, and other treatments. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used to assess the prognosis of patients at 28 days of treatment, and they were divided into two groups: Group A, 26 cases with poor prognosis (GCS score 2-3 points), and Group B, 54 cases with good prognosis (GCS score 4-5 points). Clinical parameters were compared between the two groups, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the adverse factors affecting the prognosis of patients with TBI. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of poor prognosis in patients with TBI.Results The levels of CK-MB and D-dimer in Group A were higher than those in Group B (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that D-dimer [O^R =3.490 (95% CI: 1.193, 10.212)] and CK-MB levels [O^R =4.019 (95%CI: 1.374, 11.758)] were risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with TBI (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of CK-MB, D-dimer, and their combination in predicting poor prognosis in patients with TBI was 80.77% (95% CI: 0.767, 0.869), 88.46% (95% CI: 0.828, 0.931), and 92.31% (95% CI: 0.860, 0.974), respectively, and the specificity was 79.63% (95% CI: 0.758, 0.849), 90.74% (95% CI: 0.847, 0.963), and 94.44% (95% CI: 0.879, 0.987), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection were higher than those of single D-dimer and CK-MB detection, and the value of combined detection in predicting poor prognosis in patients with TBI was higher (AUC > 0.9).Conclusion The combination of D-dimer and CK-MB is of high value in predicting poor prognosis in patients with TBI and deserves further application.
