5 (1.4-17.5) vs 54.2 (34.2-74.3) μg/mL, p = 0.024]. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that a cutoff value of D-dimer ≤ 10 μg/L led to sensitivity (69.0%) and specificity (72.8%) for 30 day survival (area under curve 0.75). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that D-dimer ≤ 10 μg/ml was an independent predic…[Read more]
