D-二聚体阴性肺栓塞患者的临床特点

目的 归纳总结D-二聚体阴性(D-二聚体＜0.5μg/mL)的肺栓塞患者的临床特点，从而提高肺栓塞诊断准确率、降低肺栓塞的病死率。方法 对南京医科大学第一附属医院2006年1月至2009年12月收治的D-二聚体阴性的疑似肺栓塞患者的危险因素、临床特征及辅助检查进行回顾分析，将16例最终确诊肺血栓栓塞症患者与同期排除肺栓塞的41例疑似患者的临床特点进行比较，采用t检验及四格表Fisher确切概率法比较各组间临床表现、生命体征及辅助检查结果的差异。结果 D-二聚体阴性的肺栓组与非病例组相比，既往有VTE病史、有近期手术史者更易于发病，胸闷、呼吸困难常见，病例组呼吸频率高于对照组，病例组下肢水肿较对照组多见，心电图典型ECG SI QⅢTⅢ改变多见。结论D-二聚体作为急性肺栓塞筛选检查，其阴性预测值较高，但当患者出现进行性呼吸困难、下肢水肿、既往有VTE病史、有近期手术史、心电图出现SIQⅢTⅢ改变时，即使D-二聚体阴性，临床工作者也需引起重视，必要时可考虑进一步检查以排查有无肺栓塞。

The clinical features of patients suffering from pulmonary embolism with negative D-dimer

Objective To summarize the clinical features of patients suffering from pulmonary embolism (PE) with D-dimer ＜ 0. 5 μg/mL in order to raise the diagnostic accuracy and reduce the mortality rate of PE. Methods D-dimer-negative patients with suspected PE were admitted from January 2006 through December 2009. A comparison of clinical features including clinical manifestations, vital signs, laboratory and ancillary findings between 16 patients finally diagnosed PE and 41 patients without PE. Results Compared with patients without PE, the D-dimer-negative patients with PE usually had past history of venous thromembolism (VTE) or recent surgery. The symptoms of chest tightness, acute dyspnea, tachypnea, lower extremity edema and typical S I QⅢTⅢ changes of ECG were more often occurred in patients with PE than those in patients without PE of control group. Conclusions D-dimer test is a good screening test for acute PE because its negative predictive value is high, but when the patients have acute dyspnea, lower extremity edema, previous history of VTE or/and recent surgery and ECG SI QⅢ TⅢ changes, even if D -dimer ＜ 0. 5 μg/mL, clinicians also should pay attention to and if necessary, further tests should be considered to confirm the diagnosis of PE.
