Analysis of Relationship Between Imaging Features of Aortic Dissection and Blood Parameters
Journal Title: The Medical Bulletin of Haseki - Year 2020, Vol 58, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: Aimed to evaluate the relationship of serum biochemical and blood parameters with aortic rupture and dissection types according to the DeBakey classification. Methods: Forty-three patients, who were admitted to the emergency department between 01.01.2011 and 01.01.2019 with the diagnosis of aortic dissection, were retrospectively evaluated. Gender, age, symptoms at presentation, vital parameters, creatinine and, troponin levels, and hemogram parameters were recorded after blood tests. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and monocyte-to-platelet ratio were obtained from these values. These results were compared with the presence of aortic rupture and the DeBakey classification. Results: Of the 43 patients included in the study, 30 were male (69.8%), and 13 were female (30.2%). Aortic rupture was seen in two of the 30 male patients (6.7%) and none of the females (p=1.000). There was a significant difference only in blood urine nitrogen and monocyte-to-platelet ratio between patients with and without aortic rupture (p=0.035 and p=0.015, respectively). Conclusion: Most of the routinely evaluated blood and biochemical parameters in aortic dissection cases did not yield significant results in comparison to the DeBakey classification and the presence of rupture. Only blood urea nitrogen and monocyte-to-platelet ratio values were lower in patients with aortic rupture.
