High level of D-dimer predicts ischemic stroke in patients with infective endocarditis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Ischemic stroke is one of the most prominent and serious neurological complications of infective endocarditis (IE). Our study was designed to evaluate the predictive value of higher level of plasma D-dimer on admission for the development of ischemic stroke in patients with IE. METHODS:In this prospective study, a total of 173 consecutive patients with IE were recruited from January 2016 to December 2018. Plasma D-dimer and other clinical indexes of IE patients were measured after admission. The number of patients who developed ischemic stroke during 6-month follow-up was recorded, as well as the occurrence time of ischemic stroke. RESULTS:Ischemic stroke was observed in 38 (22%) patients during 6-month follow-up since definite diagnosis of IE. Patients with ischemic stroke had significantly higher levels of plasma D-dimer than those of patients without stroke (4982 vs 2205 μg/L, P < .001). In addition, Staphylococcus aureus infection (HR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.51-2.42), mitral valve vegetation (HR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.32-1.75), and higher levels of on-admission plasma D-dimer (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.27-1.43) were significantly associated with ischemic stroke. Moreover, D-dimer levels ≥3393 μg/L served as a strong predictor for ischemic stroke in patients with IE, and the sensitivity and specificity were 78% and 83%, respectively. CONCLUSION:Our study suggested that higher level of D-dimer on admission was an independent predictor for ischemic stroke in patients with IE. These patients may require special attention, in particular within the first trimester after IE diagnosis.
