Background

Radiologic signs of chronic thrombi are present in approximately 20 % of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We assessed the effectiveness of ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USAT) in patients with acute PE with or without signs of chronic PE and the accuracy of radiologic parameters predicting chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Methods

Index CT scans of patients who underwent USAT for acute PE with right ventricular strain were reviewed by three radiologists blinded to clinical and hemodynamic outcomes. At least 3 validated radiological criteria of chronic thromboembolism defined acute-on-chronic PE. Changes in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) 20 h after USAT and presence of post-PE impairment (PPEI) or CTEPH at 3–6 months were compared between patients with and without acute-on-chronic PE.

Results

Among 180 consecutive patients (median age 65 years), 31 (17 %) had acute-on-chronic PE. Absolute mPAP reduction was 11 (Q1-Q3: 5–17) mmHg in acute vs. 10 (Q1-Q3: 5–17) mmHg in acute-on-chronic PE from similar baseline mPAP. PPEI or CTEPH were recorded in 2.0 % of patients in the acute group vs. 13 % in the acute-on-chronic group (odds ratio 7.0, 95 %C.I. 1.4–40). Of 3 (1.7 %) patients diagnosed with CTEPH, all presented with ≥3 radiological criteria suggesting pre-existing CTEPH at index CT scan.

Conclusions

CT signs of chronic thromboembolism at the time of acute PE did not appear to influence the immediate hemodynamic response to USAT in most patients but may raise the suspicion of pre-existing CTEPH if ≥3 validated radiological criteria are present.
背景:大约20%的急性肺栓塞(PE)患者存在慢性血栓的影像学征象。我们评估了超声辅助导管定向溶栓(USAT)在伴有或不伴有慢性PE症状的急性PE患者中的有效性,以及预测慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压(CTEPH)的放射学参数的准确性。方法对三名不了解临床和血流动力学结果的放射科医师对急性PE合并右室劳损行USAT的患者的CT扫描进行回顾性分析。至少有3个经过验证的慢性血栓栓塞的放射学标准定义了急性对慢性PE。比较USAT后20小时平均肺动脉压(mPAP)的变化以及3-6个月PE后损伤(PPEI)或CTEPH的存在。结果在180例连续患者(中位年龄65岁)中,31例(17%)患有急性慢性肺栓塞。在相似的基线mPAP下,急性肺栓塞患者的绝对mPAP降低为11 (Q1-Q3: 5-17) mmHg,而急性慢性肺栓塞患者的绝对mPAP降低为10 (Q1-Q3: 5-17) mmHg。急性组中有2.0%的患者记录了PPEI或CTEPH,而急性慢性组中有13%(优势比为7.0,95% C.I.)-40 - 1.4)。在3例(1.7%)被诊断为CTEPH的患者中,所有患者在CT扫描中均表现出≥3个放射学标准,表明已有CTEPH。结论:急性PE时慢性血栓栓塞的sct体征似乎不会影响大多数患者对USAT的即时血流动力学反应,但如果存在≥3个有效的放射标准,则可能会引起对先前存在CTEPH的怀疑。

Background

Absolute time-dependent risk of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is essential to evaluate the net clinical benefit of pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis. The multicenter Children's Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (CHAT) risk assessment model (RAM) identified risk factors for pediatric HA-VTE but was not designed to predict this risk. We aimed to predict the absolute time-dependent risk of HA-VTE in hospitalized children.

Methods

We conducted a single center case-cohort study of children ≤18 years old admitted from 2013 to 2022. Children with radiologically confirmed, symptomatic HA-VTE were considered cases. A 5 % random sample of eligible admissions formed the subcohort. Using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox regression with risk factors from the CHAT RAM and time to HA-VTE as outcome, we calculated the absolute time-dependent risk of HA-VTE of each child. Performance was assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration plot, and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC).

Results

We identified 81 children with HA-VTE from 23,287 admissions. Adolescent age, slightly limited mobility, and central venous catheter were associated with time to HA-VTE. Median absolute time-dependent risk of HA-VTE was 1.7 % (IQR: 1.0 %, 2.1 %) by day 12 of admission when the revised RAM performed best. AUROC by day 12 was 0.81 (95 % confidence interval, CI: 0.70, 0.93) with calibration slope of 1.13 (95 % CI: 0.38, 1.87), calibration intercept of 0.004 (95 % CI: −0.64, 0.65), and AUPRC of 0.04 (95 % CI: 0.004, 0.07).

Conclusions

We accurately predicted the absolute time-dependent risk of HA-VTE. Similar predictions should be developed for bleeding.
背景:医院获得性静脉血栓栓塞(HA-VTE)的绝对时间依赖风险是评估药物血栓预防的净临床效益的必要条件。多中心儿童医院获得性血栓形成(CHAT)风险评估模型(RAM)确定了儿童HA-VTE的危险因素,但并未设计用于预测这种风险。我们的目的是预测住院儿童HA-VTE的绝对时间依赖性风险。方法:对2013 - 2022年收治的≤18岁儿童进行单中心病例队列研究。放射学证实的有症状的HA-VTE患儿被认为是病例。随机抽取5%的符合条件的入学人员组成亚队列。使用Kaplan-Meier估计和Cox回归,以CHAT RAM和时间到HA-VTE的危险因素为结果,我们计算了每个儿童HA-VTE的绝对时间依赖性风险。使用受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)、校准图和精确召回率曲线下面积(AUPRC)来评估其性能。结果:我们从23,287例入院患者中确定了81例HA-VTE患儿。青少年年龄、活动能力轻微受限和中心静脉导管与HA-VTE发生时间相关。入院第12天,HA-VTE的绝对时间依赖风险中位数为1.7% (IQR: 1.0%, 2.1%),此时修改后的RAM表现最佳。第12天的AUROC为0.81(95%可信区间,CI: 0.70, 0.93),校准斜率为1.13 (95% CI: 0.38, 1.87),校准截距为0.004 (95% CI: -0.64, 0.65), AUPRC为0.04 (95% CI: 0.004, 0.07)。结论:我们准确地预测了HA-VTE的绝对时间依赖性风险。对于出血也应该有类似的预测。

Background

Plasma levels of activated factor VII-antithrombin complexes (FVIIa-AT) reflect indirectly tissue factor (TF)-FVII interaction. We investigated FVIIa-AT in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and its prognostic value.

Methods

We prospectively studied 88 AIS patients (median age 75 years), of whom 67 (76.1 %) received thrombolysis. Plasma FVIIa-AT levels, fibrin clot properties, i.e. clot lysis time (CLT), fibrin clot permeability (Ks), and protein carbonyl (PC) levels were measured on admission, at 24 h, and at 3 months. Stroke-related mortality and functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale, mRS) were assessed at 3 months.

Results

Baseline FVIIa-AT (median 134.7 (IQR, 118.2–149.8 pM)), correlated with age (r = 0.51; p < 0.001), NIHSS (r = 0.54; p < 0.001), Ks (r = 0.32; p = 0.002), CLT (r = 0.34; p = 0.001), PC (r = 0.36; p < 0.001), and mRS at 3 months (r = 0.51; p < 0.001). After 24 h, FVIIa-AT increased by 8.3 % (p < 0.001) and correlated with NIHSS (r = 0.52; p < 0.001), PC (r = 0.35; p = 0.001), and mRS (r = 0.59; p < 0.001). At 24 h, thrombolysis had no impact on FVIIa-AT. After 3 months, FVIIa-AT decreased by 20.9 % compared to baseline (p < 0.0001). Baseline and 24-hour FVIIa-AT levels increased the odds of hemorrhagic transformation at 48 h (OR = 1.62, 95 %CI 1.09–2.42 and OR = 1.46, 95 %CI 1.04–2.03) and mRS > 2 at 3 months (OR = 1.48, 95 %CI 1.12–1.95 and OR = 1.61, 95 %CI 1.23–2.10, respectively). Stroke-related mortality was associated with FVIIa-AT solely at 24 h (OR = 1.59, 95 %CI 1.18–2.14).

Conclusions

FVIIa-AT levels are linked to acute stroke severity and worse clinical outcomes, in association with prothrombotic fibrin clot properties and enhanced protein carbonylation.

Background

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder associated with thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity. Thrombocytopenia, a frequent manifestation of APS, presents unique clinical challenges due to its dual association with thrombotic and hemorrhagic risks. This study investigates the incidence, characteristics, and predictors of thrombocytopenia in a large cohort of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL)-positive patients and its association with other clinical manifestations.

Methods

We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study from 2014 to 2024 involving 211 aPL-positive patients at San Giovanni Bosco and San Luigi Gonzaga Hospital, Turin, Italy. Data on demographic, laboratory, and clinical features were collected every six months or at the occurrence of new clinical events. Thrombocytopenia definitions excluded other etiologies. Laboratory and clinical evaluations included thrombosis risk factors, autoantibody profiles, and treatment regimens.

Results

Thrombocytopenia occurred in 42 patients (20 %), with varying severity: mild (33 %), moderate (38 %), and severe (29 %). Severe cases primarily exhibited platelet counts below 20 × 10^9/L. Patients with thrombocytopenia demonstrated higher rates of thrombotic events, venous recurrences, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and catastrophic APS (CAPS). Renal involvement was more frequent, while inflammatory manifestations (pericarditis, pleuritis, and arthralgia) were less common. Patients with thrombocytopenia showed higher frequency of anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies IgG positivity and leukopenia. Therapeutic interventions included increased use of steroids, intravenous immunoglobulins, mycophenolate, and rituximab. Thrombocytopenia was more prevalent in systemic APS diagnoses (21 % vs. 3 %).

Conclusion

Thrombocytopenia in APS patients, particularly in severe cases, correlates with heightened thrombotic risk and systemic manifestations. These findings highlight the importance of customized strategies that balance thrombosis prevention with bleeding risk, especially in complex cases.
背景:抗磷脂综合征(APS)是一种与血栓形成和妊娠发病率相关的多方面自身免疫性疾病。血小板减少症是APS的一种常见表现,由于其与血栓和出血风险的双重关联,提出了独特的临床挑战。本研究调查了大量抗磷脂抗体(aPL)阳性患者中血小板减少症的发生率、特征和预测因素及其与其他临床表现的关系。方法对2014 - 2024年意大利都灵San Giovanni Bosco和San Luigi Gonzaga医院211例apl阳性患者进行多中心回顾性队列研究。每六个月或在发生新的临床事件时收集人口统计学、实验室和临床特征的数据。血小板减少的定义排除了其他病因。实验室和临床评估包括血栓危险因素、自身抗体谱和治疗方案。结果42例(20%)患者发生血小板减少症,严重程度不同:轻度(33%)、中度(38%)和重度(29%)。重症患者主要表现为血小板计数低于20 × 10^9/L。血小板减少患者表现出更高的血栓事件、静脉复发、深静脉血栓形成、肺栓塞和灾难性APS (CAPS)的发生率。肾脏受累更为常见,而炎症表现(心包炎、胸膜炎和关节痛)较少见。血小板减少患者抗β2糖蛋白I抗体IgG阳性和白细胞减少的频率较高。治疗干预包括增加类固醇、静脉注射免疫球蛋白、霉酚酸酯和利妥昔单抗的使用。血小板减少症在全身性APS诊断中更为普遍(21%对3%)。结论血小板减少症患者,尤其是重症患者,与血栓形成风险和全身性表现升高相关。这些发现强调了定制策略的重要性,以平衡血栓预防和出血风险,特别是在复杂的情况下。

肺栓塞(PE)存活的患者通常会遭受一些长期的身体和精神上的负面后果,限制了他们保持身体和社会活动的能力,最终使他们的生活质量恶化。因此,PE患者需要循证康复,针对每个患者的重要方面。有效和可靠的患者报告结果测量(PROMs)对于帮助临床医生以可靠的方式计划和跟踪康复结果至关重要。目的对研究小组在之前的综述中确定的34个用于评估PE的prom的心理测量特性(信度、效度、反应性、地板/天花板效应和可及性)进行系统综述。方法检索PUBMED、CINAHL和EMBASE数据库自成立至2024年9月的文献,纳入34例特定人群的心理测量学研究。每个心理测量属性的证据根据COSMIN良好测量属性标准进行评估,并根据推荐、评估、发展和评估分级(GRADE)方法进行系统评价。方法学质量采用COSMIN PROMs偏倚风险检查表进行评估。结果去除重复后,共检索到文献3.801条;根据标题和摘要排除了3.778条记录,在全文阅读中又排除了10篇文章,留下13篇评价PROMs心理测量特性的文章。在10项研究中评估了肺栓塞生活质量问卷(PEmb-QoL),显示出非常好的内部一致性、信度、标准效度、结构效度、响应性和下限/上限效应。PEmb-QoL的结构效度被认为不足。一项研究发现了EQ-5D-5l的适度证据,显示出足够的收敛结构效度。EQ-5D-5L也表现出非常好的发散性构效度,地板/天花板效应和可接受性良好,但结构效度不足。低证据抗凝治疗感知问卷(PACT-Q)具有很好的结构效度和内部一致性,具有足够的结构效度。PACT-Q的结构效度是可以接受的,而内容效度是值得怀疑的,下限/上限效应很差。中高证据表明,vte后功能状态量表(PVFS)具有很好的结构效度,但结构效度不足,内容效度值得怀疑。结论在34个用于评估PE患者的PROMs中,有4个已经评估了心理测量学的某些方面。未来的研究应该努力评估临床和研究中使用的PROMs的所有心理测量特性。本综述的结果对跟踪PE患者的可靠性提出了质疑,可能会扭曲先前研究的结果,更重要的是显示了PE后康复的不完整图景。

Background

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important intervention for severe respiratory failure, yet coagulation abnormalities and circuit thrombosis remain significant challenges. Circuit exchanges are frequently performed to restore oxygenator function and mitigate ECMO-related coagulopathies, but optimal criteria for their indication remain unclear.

Methods

This retrospective analysis included adult patients with coronavirus disease 2019 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving venovenous (VV) ECMO at a tertiary hospital between January 2020 and April 2023. The primary endpoint was the change in d-dimer level on the third day after a circuit exchange compared to the last value before the circuit exchange. Secondary analyses included parameters such as fibrinogen, platelet count, LDH, post‑oxygenator pO2 and transmembrane pressure. Statistical comparisons were made using Wilcoxon-signed-rank tests and linear mixed models.

Results

Among 48 patients, 37 (77.1 %) underwent at least one coagulation-related circuit exchange, totalling 96 exchanges. D-dimer levels significantly decreased from 19 μg/ml (IQR 11–25) before exchange to 4 μg/ml (IQR 2–7) after exchange (p < 0.001). Platelet counts increased significantly (p = 0.024), while LDH levels decreased (p = 0.001). No significant changes were observed in fibrinogen levels. A sharp increase in d-dimer prior to exchange correlated with subsequent decreases post-exchange (R = −0.66, p < 0.001).

Conclusions

ECMO circuit exchanges are associated with significant improvements in coagulation parameters, particularly d-dimer reduction, suggesting that d-dimer trends may serve as a key indicator for elective circuit replacement. Future prospective studies should refine exchange criteria to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing unnecessary interventions.
体外膜氧合(ECMO)是严重呼吸衰竭的重要干预措施,但凝血异常和回路血栓形成仍然是一个重大挑战。电路交换经常用于恢复氧合器功能和减轻ecmo相关的凝血疾病,但其适应症的最佳标准尚不清楚。方法回顾性分析2020年1月至2023年4月在某三级医院接受静脉静脉(VV) ECMO治疗的2019冠状病毒病相关急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)成年患者。主要终点是d-二聚体水平在电路交换后第三天的变化,与电路交换前的最后一个值相比。二次分析包括纤维蛋白原、血小板计数、LDH、氧合后pO2和跨膜压力等参数。采用Wilcoxon-signed-rank检验和线性混合模型进行统计学比较。结果48例患者中,37例(77.1%)接受了至少1次凝血相关循环交换,共96次。d -二聚体水平从交换前的19 μg/ml (IQR 11-25)显著降至交换后的4 μg/ml (IQR 2-7) (p < 0.001)。血小板计数显著升高(p = 0.024), LDH水平显著降低(p = 0.001)。纤维蛋白原水平未见明显变化。交换前d-二聚体的急剧增加与随后交换后的减少相关(R = - 0.66, p < 0.001)。结论secmo电路交换与凝血参数的显著改善有关,特别是d-二聚体的减少,提示d-二聚体趋势可能是选择性电路更换的关键指标。未来的前瞻性研究应完善交换标准,以优化患者预后,同时尽量减少不必要的干预。

Background and aims

Experimental study demonstrated that platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatosis liver disease (MASLD). However, the relationship between COX-1 activation and MASLD severity is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate platelet COX-1 activation in patients with MASLD.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study involving patients with biopsy-proven MASLD. Serum Thromboxane B2 (TxB2) levels was measured as a biomarker of ex vivo COX-1 activation potential and plasma sP-selectin as in vivo marker of platelet activation. Oxidative stress biomarkers included serum NOX2-derived peptide (sNOX2-dp) and hydrogen peroxide breakdown activity (HBA).

Results

TxB2 serum levels increased progressively from MASLD simple steatosis (MASLD-SS) to steatohepatitis (MASH) (p = 0.017) and cirrhosis (p = 0.012). Serum TxB2 (rS = 0.467, p < 0.001) and sNOX2-dp (rS = 0.476, p < 0.001) levels were positively correlated with fibrosis stage and inversely correlated with HBA (rS = −0.506, p < 0.001). In addition, serum TxB2 correlated with sP-selectin (rS = 0.428, p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that TxB2 associated with liver fibrosis stage (p = 0.007) and sNOX2-dp (p = 0.018).

Conclusions

This study provides evidence of platelet TxB2 overproduction, which increases progressively from MASLD-SS to MASH and cirrhosis and is significantly associated with the degree of liver fibrosis. These findings support the hypothesis that platelet COX-1 activation is involved in the pathogenesis of MASLD.
背景与目的实验研究表明,血小板环氧化酶-1 (COX-1)活化参与代谢功能障碍相关脂肪变性肝病(MASLD)的发病机制。然而,COX-1激活与MASLD严重程度之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨血小板COX-1在MASLD患者中的活化情况。方法:这是一项横断面研究,涉及活检证实的MASLD患者。测定血清血栓素B2 (TxB2)水平,作为体外COX-1激活电位的生物标志物;测定血浆sp -选择素水平,作为血小板激活的体内标志物。氧化应激生物标志物包括血清nox2衍生肽(sNOX2-dp)和过氧化氢分解活性(HBA)。结果stxb2血清水平从MASLD单纯性脂肪变性(MASLD- ss)逐渐升高到脂肪性肝炎(MASH) (p = 0.017)和肝硬化(p = 0.012)。血清TxB2 (rS = 0.467, p < 0.001)和sNOX2-dp (rS = 0.476, p < 0.001)水平与纤维化分期呈正相关,与HBA呈负相关(rS = - 0.506, p < 0.001)。此外,血清TxB2与sp -选择素相关(rS = 0.428, p < 0.001)。多元线性回归分析显示,TxB2与肝纤维化分期(p = 0.007)、sNOX2-dp (p = 0.018)相关。结论:本研究提供了血小板TxB2过度产生的证据,从MASLD-SS到MASH和肝硬化逐渐增加,并与肝纤维化程度显著相关。这些发现支持了血小板COX-1激活参与MASLD发病机制的假设。

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the pathological mechanisms, clinical features, and prognostic differences between thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-like syndrome (TTP-like syndrome) and sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) in patients experiencing septic shock. The findings will provide a basis for subtype-guided diagnosis and treatment of coagulation disorders.

Methods

In this single-center retrospective cohort, 250 septic shock patients were divided into TTP-like syndrome (n = 101), SIC (n = 113), and control (n = 36) groups. Platelet count, vWF, FM, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, and 28-day mortality were analyzed to compare coagulation phenotypes and outcomes.

Results

The TTP-like syndrome group was characterized by thrombocytopenia, with a median platelet (PLT) decline rate of 49.10 %. This group also exhibited markedly elevated vWF antigen levels, averaging 334.66 ± 80.04 %. Additionally, all patients in this group presented with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) at a rate of 100 %. In contrast, the SIC group demonstrated more severe platelet consumption, with a median PLT of 42 × 109/L, elevated fibrinogen degradation product (FM) levels (median 9.22 μg/mL), and a significantly higher 28-day mortality rate (35.40 % vs. 11.88 % in the TTP-like group). The patterns of organ injury varied between the two groups; the SIC group displayed more pronounced liver (SOFA 1.43 ± 1.08) and renal (SOFA 1.41 ± 1.47) involvement, while the TTP-like syndrome group predominantly exhibited circulatory (SOFA 2.46 ± 1.45) and respiratory (SOFA 2.53 ± 0.76) dysfunction. vWF and FM had some predictive value for 28-day mortality, with area under the curve values of 0.59 and 0.60, respectively.

Conclusion

TTP-like syndrome and SIC represent heterogeneous coagulation phenotypes in septic shock, with differences in biomarkers, organ injury, and prognosis. A vWF- and FM-guided subtype classification may improve individualized treatment strategies and prognostic management.
目的探讨感染性休克患者血栓性血小板减减性紫癜样综合征(ttp样综合征)与脓毒症诱导凝血病(SIC)的病理机制、临床特点及预后差异。研究结果将为凝血功能障碍的亚型指导诊断和治疗提供依据。方法将250例感染性休克患者分为ttp样综合征组(101例)、SIC组(113例)和对照组(36例)。分析血小板计数、vWF、FM、序贯器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分和28天死亡率,以比较凝血表型和结果。结果ttp样综合征组以血小板减少为特征,血小板(PLT)中位下降率为49.10%。vWF抗原水平明显升高,平均为334.66±80.04%。此外,该组所有患者均出现多器官功能障碍综合征(MODS),发生率为100%。相比之下,SIC组表现出更严重的血小板消耗,PLT中位数为42 × 109/L,纤维蛋白原降解产物(FM)水平升高(中位数为9.22 μg/mL), 28天死亡率显著高于ttp样组(35.40%比11.88%)。两组间器官损伤模式不同;SIC组主要表现为肝脏(SOFA 1.43±1.08)和肾脏(SOFA 1.41±1.47)受累,ttp样综合征组主要表现为循环系统(SOFA 2.46±1.45)和呼吸系统(SOFA 2.53±0.76)功能障碍。vWF和FM对28天死亡率有一定的预测价值,曲线下面积分别为0.59和0.60。结论ttp样综合征和SIC在感染性休克中表现出异质性凝血表型,在生物标志物、器官损伤和预后方面存在差异。vWF和fm引导的亚型分类可以改善个体化治疗策略和预后管理。
