Popis: Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of D-dimer, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), thrombin–antithrombin (TAT), and prothrombin fragment F1 + 2 (F1 + 2) for predicting venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Ultrasonography and CTPA were performed to diagnose VTE in 252 patients who underwent TKAs. Plasma D-dimer, PAI-1, TAT, and F1 + 2 levels were assessed 1–3 days prior to operation (T1), second hour (T2), first (T3), and third day (T4) after the operation. Receiver–operating characteristic curves (ROC) analysis was conducted and pairwise compared to evaluate the diagnostic value of those biomarkers. Results Plasma D-dimer levels differed between patients with and without VTE significantly on T4, PAI-1, TAT, and F1 + 2 levels differed on T3 and T4. The areas under ROC of D-dimer, PAI-1, TAT and F1 + 2 levels were 0.645, 0.773, 0.771 and 0.797, respectively. The most feasible cutoff values of D-dimer, PAI-1, TAT and F1 + 2 in predicting VTE after TKA were 2.24 ug/ml, 35.96 ng/ml, 13.36 ng/mg and 11.1 ng/ml, respectively. Pairwise comparison of ROC curves revealed that D-dimer level had the lowest diagnostic accuracy, whereas PAI-1, TAT and F1 + 2 level had similar diagnostic accuracy. There were significant differences in duration of tourniquet time and duration of anesthesia between patients with and without VTE. Conclusion After TKA, using 2.24ug/mL as the threshold value of D-dimer is more accurate than using 0.5ug/mL in the monitoring of VTE, PAI-1, TAT and F1 + 2 are more valuable than D-dimer in predicting VTE. Duration of tourniquet and duration of anesthesia are risk factors for the development of VTE.
