Background: Unintentional injury was the leading cause of death and disability among individuals younger than 49 years globally in 2019. However, the association between serum CK-MB levels and clinical value in polytrauma patients with nonmyocardial contusion remains unclear. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study. Demographic and clinical data were extracted from the Hospital Information System (HIS) at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. A total of 287 patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into a normal group (CK-MB ≤25 U/L) and an abnormal group (CK-MB >25 U/L) based on a low CK-MB level. Further clinical and follow- up data were analyzed by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.Finally, disease-free survival and overall survival were calculated by the Kaplan– Meier method. Results: Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that CK-MB (OR: 1.023, 95% CI: 1.006-1.040) was an independent risk factor for predicting in-hospital mortality in polytrauma patients with nonmyocardial contusion. Compared with normal CK-MB levels, CK-MB elevation was associated with a longer length of ICU stay (7.38±13.13 vs. 3.16±5.86 days, P =0.004) and total length of hospital stay (24.73±23.04 vs. 18.29±14.63 days, P =0.015) and was more likely to result in arrhythmia during hospitalization (19.29% vs. 10%, P =0.048). Moreover, the follow-up data showed that patients with CK-MB elevation were more likely to have cardiopalmus after discharge (15.00% vs. 5.68%, P =0.027). Conclusion: Our findings suggested that elevated CK-MB played an important role in the prognosis of polytrauma patients with nonmyocardial contusion, and a higher level of CK-MB indicated a poor prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
