Article Synopsis
- D-dimer (DD) is examined as a potential biomarker for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection (AD), though its efficacy is debated.
- A meta-analysis of 13 studies (including 3,628 patients) found the prevalence of in-hospital mortality related to AD was 20%, with elevated DD levels linked to an increased mortality risk, particularly in younger patients under 60.
- The study emphasizes the importance of further research with larger, prospective studies to enhance risk prediction in AD patients.
