A retrospective study on the predictive value of D-dimer for mortality in patients with acute arterial occlusive mesenteric ischemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute arterial occlusive mesenteric ischemia (AOMI) is a catastrophic vascular emergency associated with exceedingly high mortality rates. The lack of reliable early prognostic tools creates an urgent need for accessible biomarkers to guide management. This study aimed to evaluate mortality outcomes and assess the prognostic utility of baseline serum D-dimer levels in patients with AOMI.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all AOMI patients admitted to China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January 2010 and August 2024. Patients were stratified by 30-day survival status. The predictive value of serum D-dimer levels, measured within 24 h of diagnosis, for mortality was assessed using multivariate Cox regression analyses. Prognostic performance was
