Abstract:

Objective To systematically evaluate the serum von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels in patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Methods Relevant literatures on the serum vWF levels in ALI/ARDS patients were searched in online databases, including the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to April 2024. The studies were screened according to predefined criteria, and their quality was assessed. A meta-analysis was conducted using STATA17 and Revman5.3 on the collected original data. Results A total of 6 studies involving 260 ALI/ARDS patients were included in the present meta-analysis on exploring the correlation between serum vWF and risk of ALI/ARDS. The pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) was 0.95, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.64 to 1.25(P<0.01). A total of 8 studies involving 3,198 ALI/ARDS patients were included in the present meta-analysis on exploring the role of serum vWF in predicting the prognosis of ALI/ARDS. The pooled odds ratio (OR) was 1.61, with a 95%CI of 1.44 to 1.80(P<0.01). Conclusion The high serum vWF is significantly associated with the risk of ALI/ARDS and its prognosis. As a convenient testing method, measurement of serum vWF presents a high value for clinical practice.
