Abstract
AIM
To investigate the prognostic value of D-dimer in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).
METHODS
Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, CBM, CNKI and other resources (from the date of their establishment to October 2017) were searched systematically. Eligible cohort studies on the predictive value of D-dimer in AP patients were collected. Quality assessment and data extraction were performed in those clinical trials in line with the inclusion criteria. Meta Disc software was applied to carry out meta-analysis.
RESULTS
Eight studies were included in the quantitative analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio with corresponding 95%CI for prediction of severity of AP were 0.80 (0.74-0.80), 0.75 (0.72-0.79), 3.17 (2.74-3.66), and 0.30 (0.23-0.38), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.8345 (diagnostic odds ratio = 11.47; 95%CI: 8.06-16.33), albeit with no significant heterogeneity (Q = 4.57, I2 = 0.0%, P > 0.1).
CONCLUSION
D-dimer has the potential to serve as a prognostic marker on admission for differentiating disease severity of AP.
