Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically injured patients need rapid and appropriate hemostatic treatment, which requires prompt identification of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) upon hospital admission. We developed and validated the performance of a clinical score based on prehospital resuscitation parameters and vital signs at hospital admission for early diagnosis of TIC. METHODS The score was derived from a level-1 trauma center registry (training set). It was then validated on data from two other level-1 trauma centers: first on a trauma registry (retrospective validation set), and then on a prospective cohort (prospective validation set). TIC was defined as a PTratio > 1.2 at hospital admission. Prehospital (vital signs and resuscitation care) and admission data (vital signs and laboratory parameters) were collected. We considered parameters independently associated with TIC in the score (binomial logistic regression). We estimated the score's performance for the prediction of TIC. RESULTS A total of 3489 patients were included, and among these a TIC was observed in 22% (95% CI 21-24%) of cases. Five criteria were identified and included in the TIC Score: Glasgow coma scale < 9, Shock Index > 0.9, hemoglobin < 11 g.dL-1, prehospital fluid volume > 1000 ml, and prehospital use of norepinephrine (yes/no). The score, ranging from 0 and 9 points, had good performance for the identification of TIC (AUC: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.81-0.84) without differences between the three sets used. A score value < 2 had a negative predictive value of 93% and was selected to rule-out TIC. Conversely, a score value ≥ 6 had a positive predictive value of 92% and was selected to indicate TIC. CONCLUSION The TIC Score is quick and easy to calculate and can accurately identify patients with TIC upon hospital admission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Viscoelastically guided coagulation factor concentrate-based algorithms for the treatment of trauma-induced coagulopathy include the administration of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs). However, the exact role of PCC preparations in this context is a matter of debate. Particularly, the ideal diagnostic trigger for their administration and potential differences between heparin-containing and heparin-free preparations remain unclear. We investigated the hypothesis that 2 different PCCs might have distinct influences on in vitro blood coagulation. METHODS We conducted a direct comparison of 2 commercially available PCC preparations (the heparin-containing Beriplex P/N and the heparin-free Cofact) in an in vitro hemodilution model. Sole fibrinogen substitution served as the control group. To characterize the hemostatic changes, we utilized conventional coagulation tests, a thrombin generation assay (TGA), and 2 different viscoelastic hemostatic assays (VHAs; ROTEM delta and ClotPro). RESULTS Irrespective of the diagnostic assay used, no significant differences between the 2 PCC groups were observed. Fibrinogen levels remained stable from the baseline throughout every dilution level. The control group already showed an increased endogenous thrombin potential (ETP; nM·L -1 ·min -1 ) at all dilution levels compared to baseline (baseline, 2829.4 (432.8); 40% dilution, 4211.7 (391.6); 60% dilution, 4290.9 (300.8); 80% dilution, 3861.4 (303.5); all P < .001). Spiking with both PCC preparations led to a further-pronounced thrombin elevation in comparison to the control group (ETP at 40% dilution, PCC1: 4913.3 [370.2], PCC2: 4988.1 [265.7]; 60% dilution, PCC1: 5174.5 [234.7], PCC2: 5390.4 [334.9]; 80% dilution, PCC1: 5253.8 [357.9], PCC2: 5392.6 [313.4]; all P < .001). Conventional coagulation tests did not mirror the TGA results. Despite increased thrombin generation, prothrombin time was significantly prolonged at all dilution levels for the control group, and both PCC groups exhibited significant prolongations at the 60% and 80% dilution levels (all P < .001) compared to baseline. Similarly, VHA did not depict the thrombin elevation. Furthermore, descriptive analyses revealed relevant differences between the 2 VHA devices, particularly at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Both PCC preparations (ie, irrespective of heparin content) induced significant elevation of thrombin generation, which was not depicted by conventional coagulation tests or VHA. Our in vitro results suggest that diagnostic assays routinely used to guide PCC administration might not adequately reflect thrombin generation in bleeding patients.

Is it possible to improve prediction of outcome and blood requirements in the severely injured patients by defining categories of coagulopathy? Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2022; 48:2751-2761. [PMID: 35118557 DOI: 10.1007/s00068-022-01882-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE It has been suggested to define the Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) with a PTratio threshold of 1.20. We hypothesized that a more pragmatic classification would grade severity according to the PTratio (or corresponding ROTEM clotting time: EXTEM-CT), and that this would correlate better with the need for blood products (BP) and prognosis. METHODS Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of 1076 severely injured patients admitted from 01/2011 to 12/2019 in a university hospital. To determine the number of TIC categories and the best PTratio or EXTEM-CT thresholds for mortality at 24-h, a modified Mazumdar approach was used. Multivariate regression analyses were done to describe the relationship between PTratio and ROTEM parameter subclasses with mortality. RESULTS Three thresholds were, respectively, identified for PTratio (1.20, 1.90 and 3.00) and EXTEM-CT (90 s, 130 s, 200 s). The following categories were defined for PTratio: ≤ 1.20 (No TIC), 1.21-1.90 (Moderate TIC), 1.91-3.00 (severe TIC), > 3.00 (major TIC); and for EXTEM-CT: < 91 s (no TIC), 91-130 s (moderate TIC), 131-200 s (severe TIC) and > 200 s (major TIC). We observed that when the PTratio (or EXTEM-CT) increased, mortality and BP requirements increased. After multiple adjustments, we observed that each subclass of PTratio and EXTEM-CT was independently associated with mortality at 24-h. CONCLUSION In this study, we have described a pragmatic classification of coagulopathy utilizing PTratio and EXTEM-CT where increasing severity was associated with prognosis and the amount of BP administered. This could allow clinicians to better predict the outcome and anticipate the need for blood products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic injury results in both physical and physiologic insult. Successful care of the trauma patient depends upon timely correction of both physical and biochemical injury. Trauma-induced coagulopathy is a derangement of hemostasis and thrombosis that develops rapidly and can be fatal if not corrected. Viscoelastic monitoring (VEM) assays have been developed to provide rapid, accurate, and relatively comprehensive depictions of an individual's coagulation profile. VEM are increasingly being integrated into trauma resuscitation guidelines to provide dynamic and individualized guidance to correct coagulopathy. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a narrative review of the search terms viscoelastic, thromboelastography, thromboelastometry, TEG, ROTEM, trauma, injury, resuscitation, and coagulopathy using PubMed. Particular focus was directed to articles describing algorithms for management of traumatic coagulopathy based on VEM assay parameters. RESULTS Our search identified 16 papers with VEM-guided resuscitation strategies in adult patients based on TEG, 12 such protocols in adults based on ROTEM, 1 protocol for children based on TEG, and 2 protocols for children based on ROTEM. CONCLUSIONS This review presents evidence to support VEM use to detect traumatic coagulopathy, discusses the role of VEM in trauma resuscitation, provides a summary of proposed treatment algorithms, and discusses pending questions in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe traumatic injury continues to present challenges to healthcare systems around the world, and post-traumatic bleeding remains a leading cause of potentially preventable death among injured patients. Now in its fifth edition, this document aims to provide guidance on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following traumatic injury and encourages adaptation of the guiding principles described here to individual institutional circumstances and resources. METHODS The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was founded in 2004, and the current author group included representatives of six relevant European professional societies. The group applied a structured, evidence-based consensus approach to address scientific queries that served as the basis for each recommendation and supporting rationale. Expert opinion and current clinical practice were also considered, particularly in areas in which randomised clinical trials have not or cannot be performed. Existing recommendations were re-examined and revised based on scientific evidence that has emerged since the previous edition and observed shifts in clinical practice. New recommendations were formulated to reflect current clinical concerns and areas in which new research data have been generated. RESULTS Advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of post-traumatic coagulopathy have supported improved management strategies, including evidence that early, individualised goal-directed treatment improves the outcome of severely injured patients. The overall organisation of the current guideline has been designed to reflect the clinical decision-making process along the patient pathway in an approximate temporal sequence. Recommendations are grouped behind the rationale for key decision points, which are patient- or problem-oriented rather than related to specific treatment modalities. While these recommendations provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of major bleeding and coagulopathy, emerging evidence supports the author group's belief that the greatest outcome improvement can be achieved through education and the establishment of and adherence to local clinical management algorithms. CONCLUSIONS A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidance are key to improving patient outcomes. If incorporated into local practice, these clinical practice guidelines have the potential to ensure a uniform standard of care across Europe and beyond and better outcomes for the severely bleeding trauma patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early identification of acute traumatic coagulopathy is a key challenge during initial management to determine whether to initiate early hemostatic support. We assessed the performance of prothrombin time (PT) at point-of-care in trauma patients to detect moderate and severe coagulopathy on admission. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS All admitted consecutive trauma patients were analyzed retrospectively between April 2014 and July 2015. PT was measured on admission with both a PT point-of-care device (PTr-CGK) and a standard coagulation test (PTr-STD). The results for PTr-CGK and PTr-STD were compared using analysis of agreement, precision, and accuracy. The diagnostic performance of PTr-CGK to predict coagulopathy was established by analysis of receiver operating characteristic curves. The predictive performance of different thresholds and risk factors for misclassification were also studied. RESULTS Over a 16-month period, 522 patients were included. PTr-CGK estimated PTr-STD with a bias of 0.00 (95% confidence interval [CI], -0.48 to 0.50) and a precision of 0.25. The optimal threshold was 1.4 to predict severe coagulopathy (sensitivity 81% [95% CI, 68%-94%], negative predictive value 98% [95% CI, 97%-99%]), and 1.2 for moderate coagulopathy (sensitivity 80% [95% CI, 72%-88%], negative predictive value 94% [95% CI, 91%-96%]). A low PTr-CGK in the presence of severity criteria (Injury Severity Score ≥ 16, Trauma Associated Severe Hemorrhage score ≥ 12, hemoglobin level < 7 g/dL, fibrinogen level < 2 g/L, base deficit ≥ 6 mmol/L) was strongly associated with a false-negative risk. CONCLUSIONS The PT point-of-care device is reliable and accurate for the early identification of coagulopathic trauma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhage is still a common cause of death in trauma. Central lab measured prothrombin time (lab PT) is predictive of low prothrombin concentration and clinical outcome in trauma patients, however, treatment guidance is limited by slow turnaround times. Here, we have preclinically evaluated the potential of a point-of-care prothrombin time test (POC PT) as a faster alternative to identify patients with low prothrombin concentration. METHODS Human whole blood was serially diluted and prothrombin time measured by POC PT (CoaguChek XS Pro, Roche) and lab PT. Recombinant human prothrombin (MEDI8111) was added to human whole blood with or without depletion of prothrombin by pretreatment with prothrombin neutralizing antibodies. RESULTS There was no observable difference in the sensitivity of either test to dilution at blood volumes of 60-100%. At blood volumes of ≤55% (equivalent to 47 mg/L prothrombin), PT sharply increased, with greater dilutional sensitivity observed in the POC test. Both tests were insensitive to prothrombin up to 194 mg/L added MEDI8111 (equivalent to 328 mg/L prothrombin versus endogenous concentration of 129 mg/L). Depletion of endogenous prothrombin inversely correlated with an increase in PT which returned to baseline following addition of 97 mg/L MEDI8111 or above. Both assays correlated well above 48.5 mg/L added MEDI8111 (65.9 mg/L prothrombin). CONCLUSIONS Our data supports that POC PT tests, such as the CoaguChek XS Pro, are fit for purpose to confirm a coagulopathic threshold for prothrombin and provide a fast, simple, and mobile method to guide MEDI8111 therapy in bleeding trauma patients.

Abstract
Background Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a common feature after severe trauma. Detection of TIC is based upon classic coagulation tests including international normalized ratio (INR) value. Point-of-care (POC) devices have been developed to rapidly measure INR at the bedside on whole blood. The aim of the study was to test the precision of the Coagucheck® XS Pro device for INR measurement at hospital admission after severe trauma. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study in a French level I trauma center. From January 2015 to May 2016, 98 patients with a suspicion of a post-traumatic acute hemorrhage had POC-INR measurement on whole blood concomitantly to classic laboratory INR determination (lab-INR) on plasma at hospital admission. The agreement between the two methods in sorting three predefined categories of INR (normal coagulation, moderate TIC and severe TIC) was evaluated using the Cohen’s kappa test with a quadratic weighting. The correlation between POC-INR and lab-INR was measured using the Pearson’s coefficient. We also performed a Bland and Altman analysis. Results The agreement between the lab-INR and the POC-INR was moderate (Kappa = 0.45 [95% CI 0.36–0.50]) and the correlation between the two measurements was also weak (Pearson’s coefficient = 0.44 [95% CI 0.27–0.59]). Using a Bland and Altman analysis, the mean difference (bias) for INR was 0.22 [95% CI 0.02–0.42], and the standard deviation (precision) of the difference was 1.01. Discussion/conclusion POC Coagucheck® XS Pro device is not reliable to measure bedside INR. Its moderate agreement with lab-INR weakens the usefulness of such device after severe trauma. Trial registration NCT02869737. Registered 9 August 2016.

Abstract
Background Acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) is a syndrome of early, endogenous clotting dysfunction that afflicts up to 30% of severely injured patients, signaling an increased likelihood of all-cause and hemorrhage-associated mortality. To aid identification of patients within the likely therapeutic window for ATC and facilitate study of its mechanisms and targeted treatment, we developed and validated a prehospital ATC prediction model. Methods Construction of a parsimonious multivariable logistic regression model predicting ATC — defined as an admission international normalized ratio >1.5 — employed data from 1963 severely injured patients admitted to an Oregon trauma system hospital between 2008 and 2012 who received prehospital care but did not have isolated head injury. The prediction model was validated using data from 285 severely injured patients admitted to a level 1 trauma center in Seattle, WA, USA between 2009 and 2013. Results The final Prediction of Acute Coagulopathy of Trauma (PACT) score incorporated age, injury mechanism, prehospital shock index and Glasgow Coma Score values, and prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation and endotracheal intubation. In the validation cohort, the PACT score demonstrated better discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.80 vs. 0.70, p = 0.032) and likely improved calibration compared to a previously published prehospital ATC prediction score. Designating PACT scores ≥196 as positive resulted in sensitivity and specificity for ATC of 73% and 74%, respectively. Conclusions Our prediction model uses routinely available and objective prehospital data to identify patients at increased risk of ATC. The PACT score could facilitate subject selection for studies of targeted treatment of ATC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the early uses of tourniquets and haemostatic dressings, blood loss still accounts for the vast majority of preventable deaths on the battlefield. Over the last few years, progress has been made in the management of such injuries, especially with the use of damage control resuscitation concepts. The early application of these procedures, on the field, may constitute the best opportunity to improve survival from combat injury during remote operations. DATA SOURCES Currently available literature relating to trauma-induced coagulopathy treatment and far-forward transfusion was identified by searches of electronic databases. The level of evidence and methodology of the research were reviewed for each article. The appropriateness for field utilisation of each medication was then discussed to take into account the characteristics of remote military operations. CONCLUSIONS In tactical situations, in association with haemostatic procedures (tourniquet, suture, etc), tranexamic acid should be the first medication used according to the current guidelines. The use of fibrinogen concentrate should also be considered for patients in haemorrhagic shock, especially if point-of-care (POC) testing of haemostasis or shock severity is available. If POC evaluation is not available, it seems reasonable to still administer this treatment after clinical assessment, particularly if the evacuation is delayed. In this situation, lyophilised plasma may also be given as a resuscitation fluid while respecting permissive hypotension. Whole blood transfusion in the field deserves special attention. In addition to the aforementioned treatments, if the field care is prolonged, whole blood transfusion must be considered if it does not delay the evacuation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe trauma continues to represent a global public health issue and mortality and morbidity in trauma patients remains substantial. A number of initiatives have aimed to provide guidance on the management of trauma patients. This document focuses on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following trauma and encourages adaptation of the guiding principles to each local situation and implementation within each institution. METHODS The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was founded in 2004 and included representatives of six relevant European professional societies. The group used a structured, evidence-based consensus approach to address scientific queries that served as the basis for each recommendation and supporting rationale. Expert opinion and current clinical practice were also considered, particularly in areas in which randomised clinical trials have not or cannot be performed. Existing recommendations were reconsidered and revised based on new scientific evidence and observed shifts in clinical practice; new recommendations were formulated to reflect current clinical concerns and areas in which new research data have been generated. This guideline represents the fourth edition of a document first published in 2007 and updated in 2010 and 2013. RESULTS The guideline now recommends that patients be transferred directly to an appropriate trauma treatment centre and encourages use of a restricted volume replacement strategy during initial resuscitation. Best-practice use of blood products during further resuscitation continues to evolve and should be guided by a goal-directed strategy. The identification and management of patients pre-treated with anticoagulant agents continues to pose a real challenge, despite accumulating experience and awareness. The present guideline should be viewed as an educational aid to improve and standardise the care of the bleeding trauma patients across Europe and beyond. This document may also serve as a basis for local implementation. Furthermore, local quality and safety management systems need to be established to specifically assess key measures of bleeding control and outcome. CONCLUSIONS A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidance are key to improving patient outcomes. The implementation of locally adapted treatment algorithms should strive to achieve measureable improvements in patient outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid assessment and treatment of coagulopathy reduces postinjury morbidity and mortality. Although thrombelastography (TEG) may be more accurate and efficient than conventional coagulation tests, it requires significant financial and personnel investments. We hypothesized that point-of-care international normalized ratio (POC INR) may provide a rapid and accurate alternative to TEG. METHODS A retrospective review of sequential trauma patients who underwent both POC INR and rapid TEG (r-TEG) testing upon presentation to a Level I trauma center from July 2012 to December 2013 was performed. POC INR was compared with r-TEG values (R value, K time, α angle, maximum amplitude, percent clot lysis in 30 minutes) and transfusion requirements. Vital signs, admission laboratory values, and injury severity were analyzed. POC INR and venous blood gas testing was performed in the emergency department. All results and Pearson correlations noted were significant if p < 0.05. RESULTS We identified 628 trauma patients with concomitant r-TEG and POC INR testing. Median Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 13, 20% arrived in shock (base value < -5), 21% were transfused, and 11% died. POC INR correlated with all r-TEG values, with stronger correlations for patients in shock. POC INR and r-TEG had similar correlations with blood products transfused at 4 hours and 24 hours, but only POC INR predicted substantial bleeding and massive transfusion. POC INR also correlated strongly with standard INR testing. POC INR test duration was less than 1 minute, compared with at least 30 minutes for r-TEG. Total cohort charges for POC INR were estimated at $21,980 versus $396,896 for r-TEG. CONCLUSION POC INR testing is faster and cheaper than r-TEG. In addition, POC INR correlates not only with r-TEG values but also with acute blood product transfusions. POC INR provides a practical alternative for rapid coagulopathy assessment in the trauma patient at institutions that lack TEG capability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic study, level III. Therapeutic/care management study, level IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute traumatic coagulopathy is associated with adverse outcomes including death. Previous studies examining acute traumatic coagulopathy's relation with mortality are limited by inconsistent criteria for syndrome diagnosis, inadequate control of confounding, and single-center designs. In this study, we validated the admission international normalized ratio as an independent risk factor for death and other adverse outcomes after trauma and compared two common international normalized ratio-based definitions for acute traumatic coagulopathy. DESIGN Multicenter prospective observational study. SETTING Nine level I trauma centers in the United States. PATIENTS A total of 1,031 blunt trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS International normalized ratio exhibited a positive adjusted association with all-cause in-hospital mortality, hemorrhagic shock-associated in-hospital mortality, venous thromboembolism, and multiple organ failure. Acute traumatic coagulopathy affected 50% of subjects if defined as an international normalized ratio greater than 1.2 and 21% of subjects if defined by international normalized ratio greater than 1.5. After adjustment for potential confounders, acute traumatic coagulopathy defined as an international normalized ratio greater than 1.5 was significantly associated with all-cause death (odds ratio [OR], 1.88; p < 0.001), hemorrhagic shock-associated death (OR, 2.44; p = 0.001), venous thromboembolism (OR, 1.73; p < 0.001), and multiple organ failure (OR, 1.38; p = 0.02). Acute traumatic coagulopathy defined as an international normalized ratio greater than 1.2 was not associated with an increased risk for the studied outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Elevated international normalized ratio on hospital admission is a risk factor for mortality and morbidity after severe trauma. Our results confirm this association in a prospectively assembled multicenter cohort of severely injured patients. Defining acute traumatic coagulopathy by using an international normalized ratio greater than 1.5 but not an international normalized ratio greater than 1.2 identified a clinically meaningful subset of trauma patients who, adjusting for confounding factors, experienced more adverse outcomes. Targeting future therapies for acute traumatic coagulopathy to patients with an international normalized ratio greater than 1.5 may yield greater returns than using a lower international normalized ratio threshold.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid diagnosis of coagulopathy in the bleeding patient using point-of-care (POC) devices would be ideal. The Hemochron Signature Elite(®) (HC(®)) is a POC device that determines international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The aim of the study was to evaluate the agreement for INR and aPTT between the HC(®) and standard laboratory values in acute haemorrhage. METHODS This was a single-centre observational prospective study including patients with acute haemorrhage. Laboratory INR and aPTT were compared with simultaneous measurements performed with the HC(®). The diagnostic performance of HC(®) was determined; bias and limits of agreement were calculated according to the method of Bland and Altman. RESULTS Seventy-two pairs of measurements from 39 patients were analysed. The bias between the INR-HC(®) and aPTT-HC(®) measurements and the central laboratory were 0.02 and -1.13, respectively. The Spearman's correlation coefficients for the INR-HC(®)/INR-lab and the aPTT-HC(®)/aPTT-lab were 0.68 and -0.29, respectively. Twenty-seven per cent of INR-HC(®) values and 89% of the aPTT-HC(®) values exceeded the predefined limits of agreement. The INR-HC(®) measurement identified patients with a central laboratory INR >1.5 with a sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 83%, 70%, 76%, and 77%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results showed a lack of agreement between the INR-HC(®) and the aPTT-HC(®) measurements and the standard laboratory in the context of acute haemorrhage. The INR-HC(®) showed moderate performance as a decision-making tool to detect coagulopathy in the context of acute haemorrhage.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of death in trauma patients who arrive alive at hospital. This type of hemorrhage has a "coagulopathic" component, specific to major trauma and associated with poor outcomes. Over the last decade, a better understanding of this trauma-induced coagulopathy lead to a new therapeutic approach requiring earlier and more aggressive management. This hemostatic resuscitation includes early activation of massive transfusion protocols with: 1) immediate delivery of blood packs with high ratios for RBC units: fresh frozen plasma: platelet-concentrates; 2) antifibrinolytics; 3) substitution of coagulation factors. However, early identification of coagulopathic patients requiring aggressive hemostatic resuscitation remains challenging, with an increasing role of point of care devices for hemostatic diagnosis and monitoring. Efforts have to be focused on the early diagnosis of coagulopathy for immediate delivery of blood products and coagulation factors to the right, accurately screened patients through pre-established protocols within the golden hour.
