Article Abstract
Background: The present study is undertaken to investigate the fibrinogen levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its relation to peripheral artery disease (PAD) based on a more accurate and applied noninvasive measurements of duplex ultrasonography.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study including 1096 T2DM patients (474 males and 622 females). The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were presented to show the association between PAD and fibrinogen in the subjects divided by fibrinogen levels quarterly. Furthermore, the univariate and multiple logistic analyses were performed to explore the correlation between PAD and fibrinogen levels, individual components in the cross-sectional study.
Results: Finally, 887 (80.9%) T2DM patients meet the diagnostic criteria of PAD and these patients had considerably higher serum fibrinogen concentration than non-PAD group ( < 0.001). Multiple logistic analyses revealed that higher fibrinogen quartiles were positively related with the development of PAD in the adjusted model. After adjusting for known confounding parameters, the ORs for PAD were 1.993 (95% CI: 1.322-3.005, < 0.001), 2.469 (95% CI: 1.591-3.831, < 0.001), and 2.942 (95% CI, 1.838-4.711, < 0.001) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively (all values <0.05).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that serum fibrinogen concentration can be considered as an independent risk factor for PAD in T2DM patients.

Prediction of Fetal Growth Restriction Using Serum PlGF Combined with PAPP-A in Early Pregnancy.
Int J Womens Health
September 2025
Department of Obstetrics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, 530021, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive capacity of placenta growth factor (PlGF) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels in the serum of pregnant women during early pregnancy (11-13 weeks) for fetal growth restriction (FGR).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 1602 pregnant women who gave birth at The Second Nanning People's Hospital between March 2018 and September 2019. Serum concentrations of PlGF and PAPP-A were measured during early pregnancy for all participants.
Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Sepsis Subphenotypes Identified by Coagulation Indicator Trajectories: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Medical Intensive Care Unit, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
This study aimed to identify new sepsis subphenotypes on the basis of coagulation indicator trajectories and comprise clinical characteristics and prognosis.This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from May 2016 to March 2023. Using group-based trajectory models, we classified patients into different subphenotypes on the basis of the dynamic daily changes in coagulation parameters within the first 7 days after sepsis diagnosis.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 632 AIS patients who received alteplase treatment at our hospital between September 2019 and October 2023. After applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 172 patients were included in the analysis: 35 patients in the DVT group and 137 patients in the non-DVT group.
Introduction Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasingly recognized not only as a pulmonary condition but as a systemic disorder with significant cardiovascular implications. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) further elevate this risk, potentially through a heightened prothrombotic state. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the levels of select prothrombotic biomarkers - fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, von Willebrand Factor (vWF), homocysteine, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) - in patients with stable COPD and AECOPD, and to assess their diagnostic and prognostic significance.

Background: Psoriasis is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, possibly mediated by inflammation-induced hemostatic dysregulation and hypercoagulability. However, these changes are often difficult to detect with conventional markers.
Objectives: To assess hypercoagulability in patients with psoriasis using the Overall Hemostatic Potential (OHP) test, a global integrative test for coagulation and fibrinolysis.
