The thromboelastometric discrepancy between septic and trauma induced disseminated intravascular coagulation diagnosed by the scoring system from the Japanese association for acute medicine

Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the hematological differences between septic and traumatic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) using the rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM).This retrospective study includes all sepsis or severe trauma patients transported to our emergency department who underwent ROTEM from 2013 to 2014. All patients were divided into 2 groups based on the presence of DIC diagnosed by the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) DIC score. We statistically analyzed the de… Show more

“…In line with a previous study [ 21 ], the results of the current study showed that the plasma fibrinogen level was not significantly different between ICU survivors and nonsurvivors, with a fibrinogen level less than 1.0 g/l only occurring in 2.4% (6/252) of patients with sepsis. Unlike traumatic coagulopathy, the fibrinogen level in sepsis, especially in early sepsis, does not decrease and may even increase [ 12 ]. However, once the fibrinogen level in patients with sepsis appears to be significantly lower, it may indicate the formation of a large amount of microthrombi in the microcirculation; this occurs when there is a shift from hypercoagulability to consumption coagulopathy and often suggests a poor prognosis.…”

“…Sepsis-associated DIC is characterized by activation of coagulation and an excessive inhibition of fibrinolysis with a high risk of organ dysfunction [ 8 10 ]. In contrast with traumatic coagulopathy, hypofibrinogenemia usually occurs at the late stage of sepsis-associated DIC [ 1 , 4 , 11 , 12 ]. Thus, in the JAAM criteria there is no ‘fibrinogen’ score, which is the main difference with the ISTH criteria [ 7 ] (Table 1 ).…”

“…Interestingly, the clotting time measured in EXTEM was strongly correlated with the DIC score of the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine [17]. We assessed the differences in results between traumatized and septic DIC cases that were diagnosed by the same DIC scoring system [18]. This study found that the plasma fibrinogen level and clot firmness measured in the FIBTEM test were significantly different between groups with the same severity.…”

“…Fibrinogen level was rapidly reduced than the other coagulation markers during the early phase of severe trauma. [ 27 , 28 ] In contrast, fibrinogen level was maintained at a moderate level in sepsis, [ 28 , 29 ] because trauma was characterized by a consumptive coagulopathy, unlike sepsis. In the present study, multivariate analysis revealed that fibrinogen level as a continuous variable was not an independent predictor of mortality.…”
