Prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time predicts poor short-term prognosis in patients with acute pancreatitis: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: It is unclear whether activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is predictive of survival in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between APTT and short-term prognosis in AP. From the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database, a total of 844 patients with AP were randomly divided into the training cohort (n = 591) and the validation cohort (n = 253) at a ratio of 7:3. Based on their APTT values, the patients were divided into the normal and high groups. The primary outcome of this study was 30- and 60-day survival. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression models were used to analyze associations between groups and outcomes. The training and validation cohort matched well on all parameters (p > 0.05). In terms of 30- and 60-day survival, Kaplan-Meier survival curves from both training and validation cohorts demonstrated a lower survival probability for patients in the high APTT group than the normal group (log-rank p < 0.05). In the training cohort, patients in the high APTT group had a statistically significantly higher risk of death than those in the normal group after controlling for possible confounders in Cox regression (p < 0.05). For the high APTT group, the hazard ratios (95% confidence interval [CI]) were 1.63 (95% CI 1.10, 2.61, p = 0.035) and 1.49 (95% CI 1.01, 2.38, p = 0.041), respectively. APTT performed as well as BISAP, Ranson, and APACHE II models in predicting 30- and 60-day survival in patients with AP. The results above have been verified in the validation cohort. Prolonged APTT in patients with AP may increase the risk of short-term death.

Project description:Background - Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are heterogeneous tumors with respect to etiology, cell of origin and biology. The course of the disease is unpredictable and is in part dependent on the tumor microenvironment. One of the microenvironmental factors is hypoxia, which is known to promote aggressiveness in other malignant tumors. We hypothesized that certain regions in HCC exist with chronic hypoxia and a characteristic gene expression pattern. Moreover, during the development of HCC there is an important contribution of this chronic hypoxia on prognosis via this gene expression. Until now, most research has been performed in acute hypoxic models (< 24 hours). Methods – Human hepatoblastoma cells HepG2 were cultured in either normoxic (20% O2) or hypoxic (2% O2) conditions for 72 hrs, the time it takes to adapt to chronic hypoxia. After 3 days the cells were harvested and analyzed by microarray technology. The highly significant differentially expressed genes were selected and used to assess the clinical value of our in vitro chronic hypoxia gene signature in four published patient studies. Three of these independent microarray studies on HCC patients were used as training sets to determine a minimal prognostic gene set and one study was used for validation. Gene expression analysis and correlation with clinical outcome was assessed with the bioinfomatic method of Goeman et al (). Results – In the HepG2 cells, 3592 genes were differentially expressed in cells cultured at 2% oxygen for 72 hrs. Out of these, 265 showed a high significant change (2-fold change and p=0.0001). The level of gene expression after 72 hrs was different from the acute hypoxic response (during the first 24 hours) and represented chronicity. Using computational methods we identified 7 out of the 265 highly significant genes that showed correlation with prognosis in all three different training sets and this was independently validated in a 4th dataset. With our approach we could include the largest number of HCC patients in one single study. Conclusion – We identified a 7-gene signature, which is associated with chronic hypoxia and predicts prognosis in patients with HCC. In the future this signature could be used as a diagnostic tool. In addition, chronic hypoxia gene expression information can be used in the search for new therapeutic targets. Two conditions were compared and each sample has a biological replicate. Samples are hybridized in dye-swap, resulting in 4 hybridizations.
