Research Article: Predictive value of fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio in early missed miscarriage: a case–control study
Abstract:
Currently, an increasing amount of evidence highlights the significant role that prothrombotic conditions play in the occurrence of early missed miscarriage.
In this research project, our objective was to investigate the predictive function of the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) in patients with early missed miscarriage.
In this study, a total of 180 women were enrolled, comprising 90 women who experienced early missed miscarriage and 90 women with normal pregnancies who chose to undergo elective abortion. A thorough comparison was made between the missed miscarriage group and the control group regarding demographic characteristics and several routine blood parameters, including fibrinogen, albumin, D-dimer, the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet count (PLT), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV). Subsequently, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess and quantify the predictive capacity of these parameters.
No significant discrepancies were observed in albumin, D-dimer, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet count (PLT), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) between the two cohorts ( p >?0.05). Conversely, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), fibrinogen, and the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) were elevated in the early missed miscarriage group compared with the control group ( p <?0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the NLR exhibited a sensitivity of 71.1% and a specificity of 74.4% with a cutoff value of 3.58, whereas the FAR exhibited a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 81.1% with a cutoff value of 0.008 for predicting missed miscarriage.
Our research findings indicated that the FAR and NLR are effective parameters for predicting missed miscarriage, as demonstrated by their respective sensitivity and specificity.
