Objective:
To analyze the correlation between serum fibronectin 3 (Ficolin-3) levels and early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients.
Methods:
A total of 125 patients with newly diagnosed APL admitted to Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2020 to August 2023 were selected. All patients were given all-trans retinoic acid+arsenic for induction therapy. The severe bleeding events within 30 days of induction therapy (assessed by WHO bleeding score, grade 0, grade 1 and grade 2 were no bleeding or mild bleeding, grade 3 and grade 4 were severe or fatal bleeding) were used as observation endpoints. The serum Ficolin-3 levels was dected by ELISA method, baseline data and other laboratory indicators were counted, and the correlation between serum Ficolin-3 levels and early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients was analyzed.
Results:
23 out of 125 APL patients experienced early severe bleeding during induction therapy, including 13 cases of grade 3 bleeding and 10 cases of grade 4 bleeding. There were 102 cases of non-serious bleeding, including 30 cases of grade 0, 24 cases of grade 1 bleeding, and 48 cases of grade 2 bleeding. The proportion of serum promyelocytes, white blood cell count, and D-D level in the severe bleeding group were significantly higher than those in the non severe bleeding group (P < 0.05), while the levels of PLT and FIB were significantly lower than those in the non-serious bleeding group (P < 0.05). The serum Ficolin-3 levels in the severe bleeding group were significantly lower than those in the non severe bleeding group before treatment, days of treatment, 14 days of treatment, and 30 days of treatment (P < 0.05). Confirmed by point two column correlation, serum Ficolin-3 levels were negatively correlated with early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients before treatment, 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days after treatment (r values were -0.485, -0.397, -0.304, and -0.183, respectively). The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) graph of the subjects was drawn, and the results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of serum Ficolin-3 levels before treatment and at 7 and 14 days after treatment for predicting early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients was greater than 0.7, all of which had certain predictive efficacy, and the serum Ficolin-3 level before treatment had the best predictive efficacy.
Conclusion:
The serum Ficolin-3 levels in newly diagnosed APL patients are associated with early severe bleeding, and the serum Ficolin-3 levels before treatment have a significant advantage in predicting early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients.
