Ischemia-Modified Albumin, a Novel Predictive Marker of In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Aortic Dissection Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This work explored the prognostic prediction capabilities of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in patients suffering from acute aortic dissection (AAD).

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis using electronic health records. This study included AAD patients admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2015 to December 2018 in ≤24 h from the onset of symptoms to hospital admission. The levels of IMA were recorded upon admittance and the final was the all-cause mortality during hospitalization.

Results

This study enrolled 731 AAD patients. Among who, 160 passed away in the course of medication while 571 of them survived. Those who passed away exhibited higher levels of IMA (94.35 ± 26.84 vs. 69.14 ± 14.70, p < 0
