Setting University hospital in China. Patients 114 patients with acute AD. Intervention Admission D-dimer and CRP concentrations were assayed. Main outcome measures To observe the association of D-dimer and CRP with inhospital death. Results Increased levels of plasma D-dimer (9.84±3.53 vs 4.28±1.99, P |
