The effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis treatment on thrombelastography-assessed haemostasis: a prospective cohort study. Thromb J 2024; 22:54. [PMID: 38918780 PMCID: PMC11201340 DOI: 10.1186/s12959-024-00625-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Tuberculosis disease (TB) and tuberculosis infection (TBI) have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease which may be connected to infection-related haemostatic changes. It is unknown if treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis influences haemostasis. Here, we assessed if TB or TBI treatment affects thrombelastography (TEG)-assessed haemostasis. METHODS Individuals with TB or TBI were included from a TB outpatient clinic in Copenhagen, Denmark. Patients treated with antithrombotic medication or systemic immunosuppressants were excluded. TEG analysis was performed before and after TB/TBI treatment using the TEG®6s analyser to provide data on the reaction time of clot initiation (R) (min), the speed of clot formation (K) (min) and clot build-up (Angle) (°), maximum clot strength (MA) (mm), and clot breakdown/fibrinolysis (LY30) (%). Differences in TEG were assessed using paired t tests. RESULTS We included eleven individuals with TB with median [interquartile range] [IQR] age 52 (Liu et al. in Medicine (United States) 95, 2016) years and mean (standard deviation) (SD) body mass index (BMI) 24.7 (6.3) kg/m2 as well as 15 individuals with TBI with median [IQR] age 49 (Wells et al. in Am J Respir Crit Care Med 204:583, 2021) years and BMI 26.0 (3.2) kg/m2. Treatment reduced MA for both TB (64.0 (6.3) vs. 57.9 (5.2) mm, p = 0.016) and TBI (61.3 (4.1) vs. 58.6 (5.0) mm, p = 0.023) whereas R, K, Angle and LY30 were unaffected. CONCLUSION TEG analysis showed that treatments of TB and TBI were associated with reduced MA which may indicate the existence of cardiovascular benefits from therapy.

[PMID: 39041842 DOI: 10.1080/17520363.2024.2342239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: This retrospective clinical study was designed to examine the predictive value of thromboelastography (TEG) combined with coagulation function for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with cancer. Materials & methods: Among 215 patients admitted between May 2020 and January 2022, 39 (18.14%) were diagnosed with VTE during hospitalization. Results: Significant differences were found in D-dimer, ATIII and TEG parameters (maximum amplitude and coagulation index) between VTE-positive and VTE-negative patients (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed tumor node metastasis stage, concomitant infection, smoking history and D-dimer as independently associated with VTE. The constructed model and D-dimer areas under the curve were 0.809 and 0.764, respectively. Conclusion: TEG parameters were not significantly predictive indicators for VTE, with D-dimer remaining a key predictor.

Abstract
Background Thromboelastogram (TEG) is an effective indicator that monitors the dynamic changes of blood coagulation in real-time. It still remains controversial about the performance and influence of coagulation at high altitude. The present study intends to describe comprehensively the clinical features of TEG in populations exposed to or transferring from high altitude. Methods Two groups were recruited in the present study. Group A included young males who worked at high-altitude (4888 m or 5418 m) areas for some time, while Group B included young males who had recently returned from high-altitude (4888 m or 5418 m) areas. Medical examinations were performed using portable devices. Spearman's test was used to evaluate the correlations between thromboelastogram (TEG) variables and other variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting various abnormal TEG variables. Results A total of 51 adult males were included in the two groups. Significantly increased reaction time (R) and decreased maximum amplitude (MA) were found in group B (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the comparisons of K and angle between the two groups. Various TEG variables were identified to be correlated with different coagulation and biochemical variables. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that abnormal R was independently associated with direct bilirubin, and abnormal K was independently associated with the platelet count in Group A (P < 0.05). However, none of the factors were independently associated with abnormal TEG variables in Group B. Conclusion Populations exposed to or transferring from high altitudes are characterized by different TEG characteristics. Our findings give a comprehensive description of the complex interaction between TEG indexes, coagulation dynamics, and hematological parameters, which can help guide the development of appropriate medical approaches tailored to the unique needs of these populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thromboelastography (TEG) is a viscoelastic test that may be used to evaluate the hemostatic function of whole blood, and it may be useful for burn patients with multiple hemostatic defects. METHODS We retrospectively recruited patients with burns between January 2019 and July 2021. Blood samples were drawn on admission and subjected to coagulation parameter assessment, including conventional coagulation tests and TEG assessment. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to predict the occurrence of complications in patients with early burns. RESULTS Ninety-three patients with early burns met the inclusion criteria. Patients with minor, moderate, severe, and extremely severe burns accounted for 19.4 %, 36.6 %, 16.1 %, and 27.9 % of all patients, respectively. Compared with the healthy controls, patients with early burns showed significant reductions in the R and K values, and significant elevation in the maximum amplitude (MA), coagulation index (CI), and alpha angle. Compared with minor and moderate burn patients, patients with severe and extremely severe burns had lower K values and thrombin time and higher alpha angle, CI, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, D-dimer, and fibrin degradation products. Patients with hypercoagulation had lower R and K values, longer MA, longer CI, and greater alpha angle. After ROC analysis, the areas under the ROC curve for acute lung injury, acute kidney injury, and bleeding were 0.789, 0.802, and 0.900, respectively. CONCLUSION TEG provides insight into the hemostatic state of patients with early burns, and can predict complications in early burn patients when combined with conventional coagulation tests.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious and preventable postoperative complication. However, the predictive significance of perioperative biochemical parameters for VTE after minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery remains unclear. METHODS A total of 149 patients undergoing minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery were collected between October 2021 and October 2022. Biochemical parameters related to preoperative and postoperative day 1, day 3, and day 5 were collected, including D-Dimer, mean platelet volume (MPV), and maximum amplitude (MA) of thromboelastography (TEG). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to explore the predictive powers of meaningful biochemical parameters for postoperative VTE, and calibration curves were used to assess predictive accuracy. RESULTS The overall cumulative incidence of VTE was 8.1% (12/149). The preoperative and postoperative day 3 D-Dimer, postoperative day 3, and day 5 MPV, and postoperative day 1, day 3, and day 5 TEG-MA was significantly higher in the VTE group than in the non-VTE group (P < 0.05). The results of both the ROC curve and the calibration curve indicated that these meaningful D-Dimer, MPV, and TEG-MA had moderate discrimination and consistency for postoperative VTE. CONCLUSIONS D-Dimer, MPV, and TEG-MA may predict postoperative VTE in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer at specific times in the perioperative period.
