Abstract
Serum ferritin and D-dimer are established biomarkers reflecting inflammatory activity and coagulation disturbances, both of which are linked to adverse outcomes in hospitalized individuals. Therefore, it is of interest to determine the relationship between admission ferritin and D-dimer levels and unfavorable clinical outcomes in hospitalized adults. In this cross-sectional observational analysis of 200 patients, biomarker levels obtained within 24 hours of admission were evaluated in relation to intensive care requirement and in hospital mortality using correlation analysis, multivariable logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Thus, serum ferritin and D-dimer levels, when assessed together at admission, provide valuable predictive insight into adverse clinical outcomes, offering potential for early prognostic evaluation and improved risk stratification in hospitalized patients.
