Background Viscoelastic tests are used to better understand the complex picture of hemostasis in cirrhosis. Limited data exist regarding the clinical relevance of rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) or acute decompensation (AD). We examined the pattern and role of sequential observations of 9 ROTEM components in both ACLF and AD groups. Method ROTEM measurements were compared within and between groups at 3 time points: on admission (T1), at 24 h (T2) and 48 h post-admission (T3). Results Forty-two consecutive patients (22 ACLF, 20 AD) were included. ROTEM determinants exhibited significant hypocoagulable deterioration in ACLF but not in AD over the 3 time points in clot formation time (CFT)EXTEM (P=0.01), maximum clot firmnessEXTEM (P=0.014), CFTINTEM (P<0.001), and alphaINTEM (P=0.028). The sum of hypocoagulable determinants increased from T1 to T3 in ACLF (P=0.029), but remained stable in AD. Five ROTEM variables showed significant differences towards hypocoagulability in ACLF compared to AD at T3. A "hypocoagulable" profile was associated with more severe liver disease (P<0.001 for model for end-stage liver disease [MELD] or Child-Pugh scores) and higher 30- and 90-day mortality (log-rank P=0.001 and P=0.013, respectively) but no more bleeding episodes or transfusions. Two ROTEM variables displayed strong correlations with MELD at T1 and 7 at T3 (|r coefficient|>0.5). Conclusions ROTEM measurements indicated worsening hypocoagulability shortly postadmission compared to baseline in ACLF, but remained stable in AD. The hypocoagulable derangement was mostly correlated with the severity of liver disease and higher short-term mortality, but not more bleeding episodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
