Factors Associated with Low Admission Platelet Count in Adults with Acute Aortic Dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Platelets are crucial components of the coagulation processes, and low admission platelet count (PLC) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD).

Methods

A total of 130 consecutive patients undergoing Stanford type A AAD surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled between January 2013 and July 2014. Preoperative clinical and laboratory data from patients were collected. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the independent factors of low admission platelets.

Results

Adjusted multiple regression analysis showed that age (β: -1.069, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.109, -0.029), sex (β: -29.973, 95% CI: -56.512, -3.433), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI; β: 0.197, 95% CI: 0.
