Abstract
Background
Disorders of the coagulation pathway are triggered in patients with severe burn and inhalation injuries in the early stages. There are multiple early coagulation indices identified to correlate with adverse outcomes.
Method
A retrospective analysis of patients with severe burn and inhalation injuries from 12 centers in mainland China was performed to identify early changed coagulation indices with predictive value associated with four major 28-day adverse outcomes (death, anticoagulation, mechanical ventilation, continuous renal replacement therapy) by logistic regression. The optimal cut-off value was also determined by Youden's index.
Results
A total of 433 patients with severe burn and inhalation injuries were included in the study. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was found to be a risk factor for death, anticoagulation and continuous renal replacement therapy outcomes, while D-dimer was a risk factor for death and mechanical ventilation outcomes. Compared with previous definitions of coagulopathy, the occurrence of adverse outcomes was well predicted by both APTT and D-dimer. Patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk coagulopathy based on APTT and D-dimer cutoff values, with high-risk coagulopathy being an independent risk factor for death. Age, TBSA, lactate level, and pre-hospital infusion volume were identified as independent influencing factors on high-risk coagulopathy.
Conclusion
The coagulation indices APTT and D-dimer in the early post-hospitalization period have a good early warning effect in the severe burn and inhalation injuries population, by which early screening to identify high-risk coagulopathies can be performed and targeted interventions can be implemented.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
