Objective To investigate the risk factors and prognosis of the patients with malignant solid tumors complicated with the disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods The clinical data of 54 malignant solid tumors patients complicated with DIC in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2004 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively, which were compared with the malignant tumor patients without DIC. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of solid tumor complicated with DIC, and the effect of concurrent DIC on the prognosis of patients was analyzed. Results Multiple factor analysis showed that advanced tumor (OR = 0.252, P = 0.019), concurrent hypoproteinemia(OR=0.119,P=0.005),concurrent infection(OR=0.122,P=0.003)were the independent risk factors of the malignant solid tumor patients complicated with DIC. The case fatality rate of the patients with DIC was 85.2 % (46/54), which was higher than that of the control group (7.4 %, 4/54), and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=65.69,P <0.001).Conclusion Early detection of malignant solid tumors, positive correction of hypoproteinemia, and the effective control of infection as soon as possible can help to prevent the occurrence of DIC and reduce the death caused by DIC.

Objective:To investigate the role of heparin-binding protein (HBP) as a predictor of early bacterial infections in patients with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:Patients with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Emergency Department of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2021 to June 2022 were collected prospectively. Patients with bacterial infection diagnosed by pathogenic examination were classified as the infected group, and those with negative pathogenic examination were classified as the non-infected group. Peripheral blood HBP counts were measured within 48 h of admission, and general information and relevant laboratory tests were collected. The differences of the indicators between the two groups were compared, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, the predictive value of the indicators for patients with co-infection was assessed, and the valuable predictors were screened out using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:Eighty-five patients [44 males and 41 females, aged (55.09±1.18) years] , were included in the study. Among the patients included in the study, 39 patients had bacterial infection and 46 were non-infected. Patients in the infected group were older , and had more surgeries, higher respiratory rate and injury severity score, and higher levels of HBP [(33.00±3.49) ng/mL vs. (16.27±1.61) ng/mL, P<0.001], leukocytes, and neutrophils [(15.32±3.19) ×10 9/L vs. (6.69±0.57) ×10 9/L, P=0.005] than in the non-infected group, while the Glasgow Coma Scale [(8.72±0.63) vs. (11.37±0.48), P=0.001] was lower than that in the non-infected group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There was no significant differences in lymphocytes, red blood cells, platelets, calcium, procalcitonin and coagulation indexes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that neutrophils ( OR=1.252, 95% CI: 1.075-1.457, P=0.004) and HBP ( OR=1.081, 95% CI: 1.025-1.141, P=0.004) were independent risk factors for infection in patients with traumatic cerebral hemorrhage. The area under ROC curve for HBP of diagnosing early co-infection in patients with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.88), the sensitivity was 92.31%, and the specificity was 52.17%. Conclusions:HBP is a valuable predictor of early traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage complicated with bacterial infection in the emergency department, and has a good supplementary value to the existing test indicators.
