The aim of this study was to analyze the utility of D-dimer test for diagnosing PE by categorizing patients into PE likely and PE unlikely groups using Wells score for clinical probability. Methods : One hundred forty consecutive patients with clinically suspected PE, in whom D-dimer and imaging tests were performed were enrolled. Dignosis of PE was made when the imaging tests were positive. Wells scores were retrospectively assigned and the dignostic utility of D-dimer test was analyzed. Results : Of the 140 patients studied, D-dimer test was positive in 97 and diagnostic imaging tests revealed PE, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and PE+DVT in 24, 3, and 7 patients, respectively. For the diagnosis of PE, D-dimer test with cutoff value of 230 ng/ml showed sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of 96.8%, 39.6%, and 97.7%, respectively. These values were 96.3%, 37.9%, and 91.7% in PE likely group (n=56), and 100%, 38.8%, and 100% in PE unlikely group (n=84). Among 43 patients with D-dimer values of <230 ng/ml, only one patient was diagnosed with PE, who belonged to the PE likely group. Conclusions : D-dimer test cannot be used as a stand-alone test to diagnose PE, but it can be helpful for exclusion of PE especially in PE unlikely group according to Wells score.

VTE의진단은주로도플러초음파와전산화단층촬영과같은영상검사들에의존하고있다 [4, 5]. 영상검사들은비교적시간이걸리고고가의비용을필요로하는반면, VTE로 419

2 420 박노진 서영익 윤순규외 4 인 의심된환자들중실제진단되는비율은낮다 [6, 7]. D-dimer는교차결합되어있던섬유소가플라스민에의해잘린후생성되는생성물로서급성 VTE에서특징적으로증가하지만 [8, 9] 수술, 출혈, 외상, 암, 패혈증, 노령, 임신등과관련해서도증가할수있기때문에 VTE에대한특이도는떨어진다. 그렇지만 D-dimer는민감도와함께음성예측도가높기때문에 VTE를배제하는검사로주로사용되고있다 [10]. D-dimer 검사는임상적가능성 (clinical probability) 에따라서음성예측도에차이가나기때문에폐색전증진단을위한프론트라인 (frontline) 검사로사용하기위해서는임상적가능성에대한평가가적절히이루어져야한다 [11-14]. 이러한임상적가능성에대한평가는주로 Geneva 점수와 Wells 점수체계를사용하고있다 [15, 16]. 이연구에서는단일기관에서일정기간동안폐색전증이의심되어진단과정을거친환자들을대상으로하여임상적가능성을 Wells 점수 (Wells score) 에적용시켜서 D-dimer 검사의유용성을분석해보았다. 대상및방법 1. 대상 2006년 3월부터 2007년 10 월까지갑자기발생하거나심해진호흡곤란, 흉통, 빈맥등으로폐색전증이의심되어 D-dimer 검사와함께영상검사를한 140명의외래및입원환자들을대상으로하였다. 2. D-dimer 검사 (fibrinogen equivalent units) 의약 1/2의값을가진다. 3. 폐색전증진단임상적인소견을통해서설명되지않는호흡곤란또는흉통이있는경우에의심을하였고, 최근 4주동안 2일이상부동의소견이나수술을시행한경우, 객혈, 악성종양이동반된경우등의위험인자의유무를기준으로경험적으로판단하여진단하였다. 폐색전증이의심된모든경우에대해 D-dimer 검사와영상검사를시행하였다. 흉부및하지의전산화단층촬영, 폐관류및폐환기검사를시행하였고진단이불분명한경우폐동맥조영술을시행하였고 DVT가의심되는경우하지도플러초음파검사를시행하였다. 양성인경우에폐색전증으로진단하였다. 이렇게해서폐색전증으로진단되거나배제된모든환자들에대해후향적으로환자의의무기록을참조하여 Wells 점수 (Table 1) 를부여하였고 D-dimer 검사및영상검사결과와비교, 분석하였다 [17]. 점수가 4.0을초과한경우, PE likely 군으로분류하고, 4.0 이하인경우를 PE unlikely 군으로분류하였다. D- dimer 검사결과는 230 ng/ml 미만인경우음성으로판단하였다. 폐색전증이의심되는경우외래와입원환자를모두포함하였다. 외래환자인경우입원하고 2일이내에영상검사를통해서진단되었다. 4. 통계분석 D-dimer 검사의진단적유용성을판단하기위해서민감도, 특이도, 음성예측도등을구하고분석하였다. 3.2% (0.109 M) 구연산나트륨항응고제가포함되어있는튜브 (Becton Dickinson, Rutherford, NJ, USA) 에혈액을채취하여 2,000 g에서 15 분간원침하고혈소판결핍혈장을얻어서 -20 에보관하였다가검사시 37 에서녹인후 D-dimer 검사를시행하였다. 모든검사는검체채취후 24 시간이내에시행되었다. 검사는 D-dimer 시약 (HemosIL D-Dimer, Instrumental Laboratory, Lexington, MA, USA) 을사용하여자동혈액응고분석기 (ACL-9000, Instrumental Laboratory) 에서시행하였다. 이장비의 D-dimer 측정은 D-dimer에대한단클론성항인항체 8D3로입힌라텍스입자를이용한정량적면역비탁법 (quantitative immunoturbidimetry) 으로서 405 nm 의파장을이용하였다. 이시약은농도의단위를 DDU (d-dimer unit) 로제공하고있으며, 1 DDU는보통흔히사용되는 FEU 결과임상적으로폐색전증이의심된환자 140명에서 D-dimer 검사를실시하였다. 남자 76명 ( 나이, 23-96), 여자 64명 ( 나이, 18-96), 외래 93명, 입원 47 명이었으며, 대상군의주된특성과여러가지임상적위험요인들은 Table 2에서보여지는것과같다. 전체환자군을 PE likely 군 (Wells 점수 >4.0) 과 PE unlikely 군 (Wells 점수 4.0) 으로나눈결과각각 56명, 84 명이었고, 전자에서는민감도가 96.3%, 특이도가 37.9%, 음성예측도가 91.7% 이었다. 후자에서는민감도가 100%, 특이도가 38.8%, 음성예측도가 100% 이었다 (Table 3). 전체 140명중에서 D-dimer 검사양성은 97명이었고, 영상검사를통해서 PE 24명, DVT 3 명, PE+DVT 7명으로진단되었다 (Table 4).

D-dimer 검사의경계값 230 ng/ml은제조사에서권장하는경계값의범위 ng/ml의하한값으로정하였다. Curtin 등 [20] 은비슷한경계값을사용하여응급실내원환자 512명을대상으로 VTE 진단에대해민감도 100%, 특이도 38% 를나타내는보고를하였다. 본연구에서는폐색전증진단에대해민감도 96.8%, 특이도 39.6%, 음성예측도 97.7% 를보였다 (Table 4). 폐색전증진단을위해 Wells 등 [17] 이제안한임상적가능성을 likely 군과 unlikely 군으로나누어분석한결과 D-dimer 검사는폐색전증진단에있어서높은음성예측도를보여주며 unlikely 군에서 37% 의환자를배제할수있었다. PE unlike-

4 422 박노진 서영익 윤순규외 4 인 ly 군에서 D-dimer 음성인환자들 31명은모두영상검사결과가음성이었다. van Belle 등 [21] 은 2006년폐색전증이의심되는 3,306명의대상군에대한전향적연구에서 PE unlikely 군에속하면서 D-dimer 음성인환자들 1,028명중에서 3개월간의추적, 검사결과영상검사를통해서폐색전증으로진단받은환자를약 0.5% (5명) 로보고하였다. 따라서초기진단과정에서 PE unlikely 군이면서 D-dimer 음성인환자들은추가적인진단과정없이추적, 관찰하는것이더효율적이라고생각된다. 폐색전증을의심하였으나전산화단층촬영과도플러초음파검사를통해서하지의 DVT만진단받은 3명중 1명은 68세남자환자로서과거에양쪽골반의무혈성괴사로고관절대치술을받은상태로급성신부전과폐렴으로치료받다가갑자기호흡곤란이악화되어폐색전증의심하에정밀검사를하였으나양쪽하지에서 DVT만발견되었다. 또다른 1명은 44세남자환자로서급성신부전, 헤노호-쉔라인 (Henoch-Schonlein) 자반증, 패혈증으로치료중갑작스런호흡곤란으로폐색전증을의심하였으나왼쪽하지에서 DVT만발견되었다. 나머지 1명은유방암진단후폐전이가있었던 75세여자환자로서폐색전증을의심하였으나왼쪽하지의 DVT만발견되었다. D-dimer 값이 230 ng/ml 이하인 43명중에서폐색전증으로진단받은 1명은고혈압, 천식, 승모판역류가있던 79세여자환자로서호흡곤란으로입원한지 2일째에폐관류및폐환기검사를통해서진단되었고, 이어서흉부전산화단층촬영을통해서폐색전증으로확인되었다. 하지의도플러초음파에서 DVT는발견되지않았다. 환자는 Wells 점수 6.0으로임상적으로폐색전증을강하게의심하였고, D- dimer 결과는 210 ng/ml 이었다. 따라서 D-dimer 검사결과는위음성으로판단되었다. De Monye 등 [22] 에의하면 D-dimer 결과는혈전의위치와관련이있어서, 세분절 (subsegmental) 색전의경우분절 (segmental) 색전보다 D-dimer 수치가낮아서때로는 D-dimer 음성으로나올수있다고보고되지만, 환자는좌폐하엽의앞기저분절 (anterobasal segmental) 동맥의혈전으로밝혀졌다. 또한자동혈액응고분석기 (ACL 9000, Instrumental Laboratory) 에서 HemosIL D-Dimer (Instrumental Laboratory) 시약은 Hb 50 mg/dl, 빌리루빈 5 mg/dl, 중성지방 1,000 mg/dl의농도까지는영향을받지않기때문에간섭에의한결과로도보기가어렵다. 외래환자에비해입원환자에서높은 D-dimer 양성률 (91%) 을보이면서 VTE가상대적으로낮은 (32.6%) 것은입원환자들중폐색전증이의심된환자들은 D-dimer 양성을초래할만한암, 패혈증, 폐렴, 결핵성늑막염등의기저질환들을많이가지고있었기때문이라고생각된다. 이연구에서생각해볼수있는몇가지제한점은다음과같다. 첫째, 폐색전증진단을위해사용하는 Wells 점수를후향적으로적용시켰기때문에전향적으로적용시킨연구와는그결과에차이가있으리라고생각한다. 둘째, 연구에포함된대상군의수가 140명밖에되지않고, 입원환자와외래환자사이에 D-dimer 음성률이많은차이를보이고있어서통계적수치에차이가있으리라생각된다. 셋째, 모든환자들에서최소한 3개월간추적, 관찰이제대로되지않았다는점이다. 따라서 Wells 점수가 PE likely 이면서 D-dimer 검사결과도양성인데영상검사에서폐색전이발견되지않은 18명의환자들에서추적, 관찰을통한결과가제대로파악되지않았을것이다. Wells 등 [23] 이보고한바에따르면 PE likely 군과 PE unlikely 군에서의폐색전증발생률은각각 39-41% 와 5-8% 이었다. 본연구에서의폐색전증발생률은전자의군에서 48.2%, 후자의군에서 4.8% 로나타났다. Wells 등 [23] 의연구와차이가나는것은인종적인차이외에도상기의몇가지제한점에의한영향도있으리라고생각된다. 결론적으로 D-dimer 검사는폐색전증진단을위한단독검사로는사용할수없지만임상적가능성 (clinical probability) 을평가하는 Wells 점수 4.0 이하의 PE unlikely 군에서폐색전증을배제하는데도움이된다. 요약배경 : 비특이적증상을많이보이며나타나는폐색전증 (pulmonary embolism, PE) 의진단은주로도플러초음파와전산화단층촬영과같은영상검사들에의존하고있는데, 이들영상검사들은비교적힘들고고가의비용을필요로하는반면, 폐색전증으로의심된환자들중실제진단되는비율은낮다. 이연구에서는폐색전증이의심되어진단과정을거친환자들을대상으로하여임상적가능성을 Wells 점수 (Wells score) 에적용시켜서 D-dimer 검사의유용성을분석해보았다. 방법 : 폐색전증이의심되어 D-dimer 검사와함께영상검사를한 140명의외래및입원환자들을대상으로하였다. 영상검사를통해서폐색전증으로진단되거나배제된모든환자들에대해후향적으로환자의의무기록을참조하여 Wells 점수를부여하였고, D-dimer 검사의진단적유용성을분석하였다. 결과 : 대상환자군 140명중에서 D-dimer 검사양성은 97명이었고, 영상검사를통해서 PE 24명, 심부정맥혈전증 (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) 3명, PE+DVT 7명으로진단되었다. D- dimer 검사의경계값을 230 ng/ml으로정하였을때의민감도는 96.8%, 특이도는 39.6%, 음성예측도는 97.7% 이었다 PE likely 군 56명, PE unlikely 군 84명이었고, 전자에서는민
