The value of D-dimer-albumin ratio as a prognostic biomarker in critically ill patients with sepsis: A retrospective single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to examine the potential prognostic significance of the D-dimer-albumin ratio (DAR) in critically ill patients with sepsis.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was carried out at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University, involving 1123 patients diagnosed with sepsis from January 2015 to November 2023. The patients were categorized into four groups (Q1-Q4) based on their DAR levels. The primary outcomes measured were in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test. Additionally, Cox proportional hazards regression models were utilized to investigate the relationship between the DAR and all-cause mortality.

Results

The study population had a median age of
