Fibrinogen is an independent risk factor affecting the short-term prognosis of HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To compare and evaluate the value of thromboelastogram(TEG)and coagulation indexes in predicting the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF), and to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 117 patients with HBV-related ACLF treated in Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from May 2017 to January 2019. The indexes of TEG, blood coagulation, biochemistry and blood routine were collected; the differences of the above indexes between the survival group and the death group were compared; the independent risk factors of HBV-ACLF were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression; and the value of independent risk factors in evaluating the prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients was evaluated by ROC curve. Results The R value, K value, PT, INR, D-D, TBil, AST, Scr and HBV DNA load in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group〔death group VS survival group: R value is 6.60 ±3.86 vs 4.84 ±1.4, PT is 37.13 ±14.35 vs 24.60 ±6.67, INR is 3.40 (2.57-5.51) vs 1.84 (1.46-2.21), TBil is 5.32 (3.51-9.34) vs 1.78 (0.77-4.29), TBil is 366.20 (326.95-464.85) vs 218.45 (107.20-330.65)〕(all P<0.05), while the CI value, MA value, Angle angle, PTA, Fg and PLT levels in the death group were lower than those in the survival group(death group vs survival group: PTA is 24.69±12.72 vs 38.84±12.92、Fg is 1.04±0.51 vs 1.83±0.62、PLT is 108.88±45.60 vs 126.29±46.86)(all P<0.05). TBil (OR:0.993,95%CI:0.987~0.999) and Fg (OR:14.922,95%CI:2.302~96.741) were statistically significant variables affecting the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. The AUC of 90-day survival rate of HBV-ACLF patients evaluated by TBil and Fg were 0.810 (95%CI:0.733~0.886) and 0.851 (95%CI:0.777~0.925). Conclusion Fg and TBil are independent risk factors for short-term prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF, and Fg is effective in predicting the short-term prognosis of patients with ACLF.
