Clinical diagnostic value and comparison of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy D-dimer, C and brain natriuretic peptide in patients with pulmonary embolism / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate D-Dimer, C-reactive protein and brain natriuretic peptide in clinical diagnosis of patients with pulmonary embolism and to compare the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.Methods 45 cases of large area pulmonary embolism and 45 cases of small areapulmonary embolism were selected, at the same time, 45 cases of normal people were selected as the control group.D-dimer, CRP and BNP levels were detected and compared of each group before and after treatment.The relevance between D-Dimer, CRP, BNP levels and pulmonary embolism was analyzed by Logistic analysis.The gold standard of pulmonary embolism with D-dimer test, CRP test and BNP test were compared.the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy ofD-dimer test, CRP test and BNP test wer calculated.Results D-Dimer, CRP and BNP levels of the large area group and small area group were significantly higher than those in the control group before treatment (P<0.05);the D-Dimer, CRP and BNP levels of large area group were significantly higher than those in small area group (P<0.05).After treatment, the D-Dimer, CRP and BNP levels of large area group and small area were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and had no significant difference compared with normal control group.Logistic analysis showed that there was significant positive correlation between plasma, D-Dimer, CRP and BNP levels and pulmonary embolism (r=3.11, P<0.05;r=4.36, P<0.05;r=2.86, P<0.05) .There was no significant difference of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of three methods.Conclusion There is a positive correlation between the occurrence of pulmonary embolism and D-dimer, CRP, BNP levels, which are important indexs to evaluate the patient's condition, it has very important clinical value.
