Objective: To investigate the association of plasma heparin-binding protein(HBP) and growth stimulation expressed gene 2 protein(ST2) with pulmonary hypertension(PH) and its severity in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods:Clinical data and laboratory findings of 239 AECOPD patients admitted from June 2022 to December 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a AECOPD group and a PH group according to the presence of PH; 125 patients(52.3%) had PH. Based on mean pulmonary artery pressure, the PH group was further divided into a mild-to-moderate PH subgroup(n=62) and a severe PH subgroup(n=63). Plasma levels of HBP and ST2 were compared among the groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent factors associated with the occurrence of PH and its severity in AECOPD patients.Results: Plasma levels of HBP and ST2 were significantly higher in patients with pulmonary hypertension(PH) than in those with AECOPD alone, and levels in the severe PH subgroup were significantly higher than those in the mild-to-moderate PH subgroup(all P<0.05). After adjusting for age, sex, and other confounders, multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension(OR=2.281), HBP(OR=1.034), and ST2(OR=1.020) were independent factors associated with the occurance of PH in AECOPD patients(all P<0.05). In addition, HBP(OR=1.008) and ST2(OR=1.005) were identified as independent factors associated with severe PH in AECOPD patients(both P<0.05). The protective effect of blood pressure observed in univariate analysis did not remain statistically significant in the multivariable model.Conclusion:Hypertension, HBP, and ST2 are independently associated with the occurance of PH in AECOPD patients, and HBP and ST2 are also independently associated with PH severity. These findings suggest that HBP and ST2 may be involved in the occurance and development of PH in AECOPD. However, their utility as auxiliary clinical assessment indicators has not yet been validated, and further diagnostic studies are warranted to clarify their roles. |
