[PMID: 38304067 PMCID: PMC10831132 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims The occurrence, growth, and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) are connected to the hypercoagulable state of blood (CRC). This study aimed to identify significant coagulation factors to predict metastasis and prognosis of CRC. Methods Thrombomodulin (TM), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), α2-plasmininhibitor-plasmin complex (PIC), and tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex (t-PAIC) were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay using Sysmex HISCL5000 automated analyzers. The Sysmex CS 5100 automatic blood coagulation analyzer was used to detect d-dimer (DD), fibrin degradation product (FDP), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen (Fbg), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Area under the curve (AUC) and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of markers. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate survival probabilities. Independent prognostic factors and the nomogram were developed using single-factor and multifactor cox regression analysis model. Results The following indicators (TM, TAT, PIC, t-PAIC, DD, FDP, PT, INR, APTT, and Fbg) were markedly higher in CRC patients than in healthy controls, and they were higher in the metastasis (M) group than in the nonmetastasis (NM) group. The combination "TAT + PIC + DD + FDP + Fbg" can distinguish M from NM with exceptional sensitivity and specificity. Patients with CRC who had high levels of TAT, PIC, DD, FDP, Fbg, TM, tPAIC, PT, and INR had significantly shorter survival. Conclusion The prognosis of CRC patients can be predicted by coagulation indicators. The independent predictive variables for overall survival were found to be TM and DD. To forecast CRC patient survival, a nomogram was created.

BMC Surg 2023; 23:64. [PMID: 36966285 PMCID: PMC10040125 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-023-01958-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The intent of this research was to generate and investigate the D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio (DLR) capacity to forecast the risk and prognosis of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). METHODS From January 2010 to December 2019, 177 clinicopathologically confirmed colorectal cancer (CRC) patients (89 in the control group and 88 in the experimental group) were identified at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen independent predictive diagnostic and prognostic factors of liver metastasis in CRC, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Kaplan‒Meier (K‒M) curves were established to analyze the diagnostic and predictive prognostic efficacy of the DLR in the development of CRCLM. RESULTS Patients with CRCLM had higher DLR levels and D-dimer levels in their blood, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.001). DLR might be employed as a predictor for the development of CRCLM, according to ROC curve research (sensitivity 0.670, specificity 0.775, area under the curve 0.765). D-dimer, lymphocyte count CEA, CA125, and CA199 were not linked to prognosis in patients with CRCLM in Cox regression analysis of dichotomous variables. In contrast, DLR level was a possible risk factor for the prognosis of patients with CRCLM (HR = 2.108, p = 0.047), and age, T stage, and DLR level (DLR < 0.4) were connected with the prognosis of patients with CRCLM (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION DLR serves as a risk indicator for the development of CRCLM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM As D-dimer levels have been reported to reflect cancer activity, preoperative D-dimer levels may serve as a prognostic marker in patients with colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative D-dimer levels in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer who underwent curative surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 264 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage I-III colorectal cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study. RESULTS The median preoperative D-dimer level was 0.8 μg/ml (range=0.4-42.5 μg/ml). Based on the results of a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, we set 1.45 as the cut-off value and classified patients into the low (n=215) and high D-dimer (n=49) groups. The high D-dimer group had significantly lower relapse-free and overall survival in comparison to the low D-dimer group (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSION Preoperative D-dimer levels can serve as a prognostic marker for stage I-III colorectal cancer.

Abstract
There are no ideal biomarkers including the TNM stage that can accurately predict the recurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and the benefit of chemotherapy for stage II patients. Here, 451 CRC patients were divided into three groups according to preoperative levels of prothrombin time (PT) and CEA to analyze the value of these indexes in predicting postoperative recurrence in different TNM stages. Preoperatively elevated levels of PT and CEA were significantly associated with a high 5-year cumulative recurrence rate (CRR) and short recurrence-free survival (RFS). According to PT and CEA levels, the 5-year CRR and RFS differed significantly among the High-risk (PT ≥ 12.65 s and CEA ≥ 10.175 ng/ml), Middle-risk (PT ≥ 12.65 s or CEA ≥ 10.175 ng/ml), and Low-risk (PT < 12.65 s and CEA < 10.175 ng/ml) groups (p < 0.001). In the same TNM stage, the 5-year CRR of the High-risk group was significantly higher and the RFS was markedly shorter than those in the Low-risk and even those in stage III (p < 0.001). In the subgroup of early stage (stage I and II), the 5-year CRR of the High-risk group was significantly higher and the RFS was significantly shorter than those in stage IIIA and IIIB (p < 0.001), which is similar to IIIC. In conclusion, preoperatively elevated levels of serum PT and CEA were reliable predictors of postoperative high-risk recurrence in CRC and combined with TNM stage precisely identify postoperative recurrence CRC patients in stage I-III and the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage II CRC.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the application value of combined detection of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), prognostic nutrition index (PNI), D-dimer (D-D), CD3+ T lymphocytes (CD3+ T), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in colorectal cancer screening. Methods The study cohort comprised 187 colorectal cancer patients and 100 mixed hemorrhoids patients as controls from January 2019 to August 2021 at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Comparing the levels of NLR, PNI, D-D, CD3+ T, and CEA between the two groups of subjects, drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluates the efficacy of single and combined detection for colorectal cancer screening. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of NLR, D-D, and CEA in the colorectal cancer group were significantly increased, while the levels of PNI and CD3+ T were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the combined detection of NLR, PNI, D-D, CD3+ T, and CEA for colorectal cancer screening had an AUCROC of 0.943, a sensitivity of 84.49%, a specificity of 91.00%, and a Youden index of 0.75, and its screening efficacy was significantly superior to that of a single detection (P < 0.001). Conclusion The combined detection of NLR, PNI, D-D, CD3+ T, and CEA has a high clinical application value for colorectal cancer and can provide a reference for early screening and auxiliary diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Background The focus of this study was to analyze the prognostic value of different combinations of inflammatory and coagulation factors using preoperative blood and to appraise the clinical importance of these biomarkers in colorectal cancer patients. Methods A prospective, multicenter study included patients undergoing radical colorectal surgery in three county hospitals. Inflammatory and coagulation markers were analyzed preoperatively. Results Two hundred and one patients were included. We examined patients based on their tumor localization. Colon cancer group involved patients with the tumor localized in the colon (n = 105, 52.24%) and rectal cancer group the patients with the tumor in the rectum (n = 96, 47.76%). Examining coagulation factors, univariate Cox analysis of colon cancer patients showed that activated partial thromboplastin time (p = 0.020) was significantly associated with overall survival, but we could not prove it in multivariate analysis. In colon cancer patients, neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR, p < 0.001) was positively correlated with tumor size and had significant association (χ2 = 5.48, p = 0.019, df = 1) with perineural invasion. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis of colon cancer patients showed that NLR (p = 0.011 and p = 0.048) was significantly associated with disease‐free survival (DFS). Conclusion NLR was proved to be an independent prognostic factor for DFS in patients with non‐metastatic colon cancer. NLR might help to recognize the high‐risk patients between patients with the same tumor‐node‐metastasis stage and could help with the decision on adjuvant chemotherapy. Since the biomarkers in preoperative blood tests are habitually evaluated, NLR could be an inexpensive prognostic marker that can be easily assessed in clinical practice.

Abstract
Cancer patients are characterized by hypercoagulable state and an increased rate of thrombotic events, the most common being venous thromboembolism. Several hemostatic pathways that are significantly implicated in mechanisms of thromboembolic disease are also involved in growth, invasion, and metastatic spread of malignant cells as well in tumor-induced neo-angiogenesis. This close connection between cancer and the hemostatic system has prompted numerous studies on the role of alterations in the level plasma biomarkers of the different compartments of hemostasis in predicting cancer prognosis. In this review, we collect the results of several exemplificative studies that have evaluated clotting activation biomarkers in relation to different cancer outcomes with a final emphasis on current research and forthcoming directions in this field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The hypercoagulability of blood is related to the development and metastasis of cancer. High levels of D-dimer have been reported to be associated with the metastasis and poor prognoses of cancer. Here, we investigated the performance of biomarkers-TAT, PIC, TM, and tPAI·C by new method-for monitoring cancer patients with metastasis. METHODS A total of 197 cancer patients were enrolled. TM, TAT, PIC, and tPAI·C were detected by the chemiluminescence immunoassay. RESULTS Results showed that the levels of TAT and PIC were higher in the metastasis group than those in the nonmetastasis group (P < .01). In the nonmetastasis group, there were 16 patients with elevated levels of D-dimer. But, TAT and PIC in these 16 patients were all at normal level (<0.55 mg/L FEU). After dilution, D-dimer was also decreased to normal levels in these 16 patients. The ROC was used to show the performance of D-dimer, TAT, and PIC on indicating cancer with metastasis. The AUC of PIC was higher than that of D-dimer (0.825 vs. 0.770). The specificity and PPV of TAT and PIC were higher than those of D-dimer. Serial test of TAT, PIC, and D-dimer improved the specificity and positive predictive value to 90.91% [80.61%, 96.25%] and 89.29% [77.45%, 95.57%], respectively. CONCLUSION Combining TAT and PIC with D-dimer could be useful surveillance biomarkers for cancer with metastasis.

Abstract
In the western world, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Survival is closely related to the stage of cancer at diagnosis striking the clinical need for biomarkers capable of early detection. To search for possible biological parameters for early diagnosis of CRC we evaluated protein expression for three CREC (acronym: Cab45, reticulocalbin, ERC-55, calumenin) proteins: reticulocalbin, calumenin, and ERC-55 in a cellular model consisting of a normal derived colon mucosa cell line, NCM460, and a primary adenocarcinoma cell line of the colon, SW480. Furthermore, this cellular model was analyzed by a top-down proteomic approach, 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for novel putative diagnostic markers by identification of differentially expressed proteins between the two cell lines. A different colorectal carcinoma cell line, HCT 116, was used in a bottom-up proteomic approach with label-free quantification (LFQ) LC-MS/MS. The two cellular models gave sets of putative diagnostic CRC biomarkers. Various of these novel putative markers were verified with increased expression in CRC patient neoplastic tissue compared to the expression in a non-involved part of the colon, including reticulocalbin, calumenin, S100A6 and protein SET. Characterization of these novel identified biological features for CRC patients may have diagnostic potential and therapeutic relevance in this malignancy characterized by a still unmet clinical need.

Abstract
Purpose D-dimer levels are known to be associated with poor outcomes in patients with various cancers, but their significance at the end of life remains unclear. This study investigated D-dimer levels as a prognostic indicator for terminal cancer patients in the last hours of life. Methods The retrospective study was conducted at a palliative care unit of a tertiary cancer center, using a database to analyze the records of patients treated from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2018. In total, 67 terminal cancer patients with available data on D-dimer levels were included. Patients' demographic data, clinical information, and laboratory values, including D-dimer levels, were collected. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to identify prognostic factors of poor survival. Results The most common site of cancer was the lung (32.8%) and the median survival time was 5 days. Most laboratory results, particularly D-dimer levels, deviated from the normal range. Patients with high D-dimer levels had a significantly shorter survival time than those with low D-dimer levels (4 days vs. 7 days; P=0.012). In the Cox regression analysis, only a high D-dimer level was identified as a predictor of a poor prognosis (hazard ratio, 1.83; 95% confidence interval, 1.09~3.07). Conclusion Our results suggest that at the very end of life, D-dimer levels may serve as a prognostic factor for survival in cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels can predict poor prognosis in various types of gastrointestinal carcinomas. Our meta-analysis explored the correlation between plasma D-dimer levels and prognosis in gastrointestinal malignancies. METHODS Two independent reviewers conducted a comprehensive search from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. All articles evaluating the correlation between pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels and prognosis in gastrointestinal malignancies were searched. We chose overall survival (OS) as the primary survival outcome measure and progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) as the secondary survival outcome measures. We extracted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from the eligible publications. RESULTS We included 30 studies involving 5928 gastrointestinal cancer patients. There was an obvious correlation between high D-dimer levels and poor OS (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.72-2.36, P < .01). High plasma D-dimer levels were correlated with shorter PFS (HR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.05-1.70, P = .32), DFS (HR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.12-2.50, P < .01) and CSS rates (HR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.49-2.49, P = .66). CONCLUSIONS Elevated pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels might help predict poor prognosis in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Abstract
In view of the controversial findings on the utility of D-dimer and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as biomarkers in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC), we evaluated the predictive and prognostic value of the D-dimer and CEA levels in unresectable advanced CRC patients treated with first-line chemotherapy. A total of 57 previously untreated patients with advanced CRC were enrolled. We assessed both plasma D-dimer and CEA levels at the start (D1 and CEA1) and after two cycles (D2 and CEA2) of chemotherapy. Based on the respective optimal cut-off values of 0.8 and 5.0 ng/mL for D1 and CEA1, respectively, patients were divided into low and high D-dimer or CEA groups. The results show that D1 and CEA1 levels were correlated (r = 0.392, P = 0.003). Mean CEA2 was reduced by 26.24 ng/mL in patients with partial response and stable disease and increased by 165.95 ng/mL in patients with progressive disease relative to the CEA1 level (P < 0.001). However, no correlation was evident between changes in the D-dimer levels and chemotherapy response (P = 0.441). The overall survival (OS) of patients with high D1 was shorter than that of patients with low D1 (median OS, 16 vs 29 months, P = 0.009). Multivariate analyses further demonstrated that D1 (P = 0.042) and chemotherapy response (P = 0.016), but not CEA, were independent prognostic factors for OS in advanced CRC. Taken together, our result found that changes in CEA levels may serve as a predictive biomarker of the chemotherapy response and baseline D-dimer levels as a prognostic biomarker of OS in patients with advanced CRC.

Prognostic significance of pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels in patients with spinal chordoma: a retrospective cohort study. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2019; 28:1480-1490. [PMID: 30684054 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-018-05872-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2018] [Revised: 11/22/2018] [Accepted: 12/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Plasma D-dimer levels, a marker of hypercoagulation, have not only been used as an indicator for cascaded reaction in the coagulation process but are also reported to be an underlying biomarker in several types of cancers. This retrospective cohort study was designed to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative plasma D-dimer level in patients with spinal chordoma. METHODS We enrolled 224 patients who underwent surgery for spinal chordoma between 2002 and 2015 at Changzheng Orthopedic Oncology Center. Preoperative clinical parameters were recorded and evaluated by univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. The correlation between preoperative plasma D-dimer levels and survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The optimal cutoff value of pretreatment D-dimer was 840 μg/L determined by X-tile. DFS (disease-free survival) was 64.7% and OS (overall survival) was 75% in the cohort. Multivariate Cox regression model identified D-dimer level as an independent prognostic factor of DFS and OS, as well as treatment history, preoperative Karnofsky Performance Scale, preoperative Frankel score, pathology classification and adjuvant radiotherapy (p < 0.05). In addition, D-dimer level may also be an effective supplement for defining tumor Enneking staging (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Higher pretreatment plasma D-dimer level was associated with a poor prognosis in chordoma and could be used as an independent prognostic factor for the survival of the patients with spinal chordoma. With supplementation of D-dimer level, Enneking stage may be more able to accurate stratify individualized risk and determine clinical management.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the usefulness of plasma D-dimer level for monitoring the development of distant organ metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after curative resection. Patients and methods One hundred and seventy-eight CRC patients after curative resection were enrolled in the study. Ninety-two patients developed distant organ metastasis during follow-up (metachronous metastasis), and blood was collected on the day metastasis was confirmed. Eighty-six patients had no evidence of metastasis yet, and their blood samples were evaluated at last return visit. The levels of D-dimer, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) between two patient groups were compared. The agreement between D-dimer and CEA (or LDH) was examined. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of D-dimer, CEA, LDH, and their combination in detection of distant organ metastasis. Results The level of D-dimer in CRC patients with metachronous metastasis was higher than that in non-metastasis patients (P<0.0001). Agreement between D-dimer and CEA was fair (κ=0.416, P<0.0001). D-dimer had a larger area under ROC (AUC) (0.85) compared to CEA (0.72) or LDH (0.68). The specificity of D-dimer (73.3%) was lower than that of CEA (74.4%), but the sensitivity (88.0%) of D-dimer assay was superior to that of CEA assay (65.2%). LDH showed the lowest sensitivity (42.4%) and highest specificity (95.3%) among the three bio-markers. The sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of a combination assay (either D-dimer elevation or CEA elevation) were 94.6% and 91.1%, respectively, and the specificity and positive predictive value of another combination assay (both D-dimer elevation and LDH elevation) were 97.7% and 94.9%, respectively. Parallel test of the three markers improved the sensitivity and NPV to 95.7% and 92.7%, respectively. Conclusion Combining with CEA and/or LDH, D-dimer could be a useful surveillance marker for distant organ metastasis in CRC patients after curative resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is common, and its incidence is increasing throughout the world. The liver is a major metastatic site, and colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) has a poor prognosis. Although liver resection is the most effective therapy for CRLM, postoperative recurrence is common. Thus, prognostic markers for CRLM are greatly needed. D-dimer, a fibrin cleavage product, has been shown to be related to colorectal tumor progression, and is also associated with malignant progression and recurrence in various cancers. Therefore, we evaluated the value of D-dimer in predicting the prognosis in CRLM. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 90 cases of resected CRLM to determine the correlation between D-dimer and patient survival. The cut-off value for D-dimer levels was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS Significant differences occurred in the recurrence group with higher D-dimer levels (P = 0.00736*), while the optimal cut-off value was 0.6 µg/mL. High D-dimer levels (≥ 0.6 µg/mL) were associated with poor recurrence-free survival (RFS; P = 0.0000841*) and cancer-specific survival (CSS; P = 0.00615*). In the multivariate analysis, D-dimer correlated with CRLM prognosis and independently predicted RFS (P = 0.0179*). CONCLUSION High D-dimer levels were associated with poor RFS and CSS. D-dimer was an independent prognostic factor of RFS. Therefore, D-dimer may help predict recurrence and prognosis in patients with CRLM.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Cancer progression has been associated with host hemostasis system. Whether preoperative plasma hemostasis factors can predict survival in colorectal cancer is quite intriguing. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study to validate the prognostic significance of three hemostasis parameters - fibrinogen, fibrin degradation products (FDPs) and D-dimer - in non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with curative resection. RESULTS All three parameters were positively correlated with C reactive protein (CRP) levels and Glasgow Prognostic scores (GPS). In univariate cox hazards regression model, as continuous variables, both fibrinogen (HR: 1.07, 95%CI: 1.01-1.13) and FDPs (HR: 1.17, 95%CI: 1.05-1.31) were prognostic, while D-dimer levels were not. Patients with hyperfibrinogenemia had a 2.12-fold increased mortality risk compared with patients without hyperfibrinogenemia. Patients with positive FDPs had a 3.68-fold increased mortality risk compared with patients with negative FDPs. In multivariate models, hyperfibrinogenemia was prognostic (HR: 3.39, 95%CI: 1.34-8.67) in patients with normal GPS scores. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative fibrinogen levels appeared as an independent mortality risk factor in non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients with normal GPS scores. Fibrinogen could be a reliable marker to identify high risk patients for those without systematic inflammation responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common pediatric liver malignancy, typically affecting children within the first 4 years of life. However, only a few validated blood biomarkers are used in clinical evaluation. The current study explored the clinical application and significance of D-dimer levels in patients with HB. METHOD Forty-four patients with HB were included in this retrospective study. D-dimer and plasma fibrinogen levels were examined, and their correlation with other clinical features was analyzed. D-dimer and plasma fibrinogen levels were examined between HB and other benign hepatic tumors. RESULTS D-dimer levels were significantly associated with high-risk HB features, such as advanced stage and high α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. Higher D-dimer levels were observed in stage 4 patients compared with stage 1/2/3 patients (P = .028). Higher D-dimer levels were also observed in patients with higher AFP levels before chemotherapy compared with patients with lower AFP levels after chemotherapy (P< 0.001). In addition, higher D-dimer levels were observed in HB compared with other benign hepatic tumors such as hepatic hemangioma and hepatocellular adenoma (P = .012). No significant difference in D-dimer levels was found between sex (P = .503) and age (≥12 vs <12 months, P = .424). There was no significant difference in plasma fibrinogen levels between sex or age and high-risk HB features, such as advanced stage and high AFP levels. CONCLUSIONS Elevated D-dimer levels could be a useful determinant biomarker for high-risk features in patients with HB. This finding also supports the clinical application of D-dimer in HB.

Abstract
D-dimer, one of the canonical markers of hypercoagulability, was reported to be a potential prognostic marker of colorectal cancer. However, an inconsistent conclusion existed in several published studies. Thus, we performed this meta-analysis to provide a comprehensive insight into the prognostic role for pretreatment D-dimer in colorectal cancer. Six databases (English: Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science; Chinese: CNKI, Wangfang and VIP) were utilized for the literature retrieval. Hazard ratio (HR) was pooled by Stata 12.0. A total of fifteen studies (2283 cases) corresponded to this meta-analysis and provided available data to evaluate the prognostic role of D-dimer for colorectal cancer. The pooled HR reached 2.167 (95%. CI (confidence interval): 1.672-2.809, P < 0.001) utilizing random effect model due to obvious heterogeneity among the included studies (I2: 73.3%; P < 0.001). To explore the heterogeneity among the studies, we conducted a sensitivity analysis and found a heterogeneous study. After removing it, the heterogeneity reduced substantially (I2: 0%; P = 0.549) and we obtained a more convincing result by fixed effect model (HR = 2.143, 95% CI = 1.922-2.390, P < 0.001, 14 studies with 2179 cases). In summary, high pretreatment plasma D-dimer predicts poor survival of colorectal cancer based on the current evidence. Further prospective researches are necessary to confirm the role of D-dimer in colorectal cancer.
