Association and predictive value of soluble thrombomodulin with mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous illness that has a high mortality rate. The role and predictive value of soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) in ARDS mortality is disputable, so the present study aimed to evaluate the association and predictive value of sTM for the in-hospital mortality of ARDS.

Methods

PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chongqing VIP, WanFang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases were searched for relevant literature published before October 10, 2022. Relevant observable studies were included for analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and QUAPAS (Quality Assessment of Prognostic Accuracy Studies) were employed to appraise the quality of the included studies.
