EARLY COAGULOPATHY AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF MULTIPLE TRAUMA PATIENTS AT MILITARY HOSPITAL 103
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To determine the relationship between early coagulopathy and the treatment outcomes of patients with multiple trauma. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted on 196 patients who were admitted to the Surgery Intensive Care Department, Military Hospital 103, from June 2020 to June 2023. Data were collected and analyzed using standard statistical methods. Results: The majority of patients were between 20 - 59 years of age (71.5%), predominantly male (80.1%), with traffic accidents being the leading cause of injury (66.8%). Early coagulopathy was observed in 36.7% of patients with multiple trauma. Compared with those without coagulopathy, patients in the coagulopathy group had significantly higher ISS scores, lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores, and higher 30-day mortality rates. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting mortality were 0.762 for INR, 0.709 for ISS, and 0.683 for aPTT. Conclusion: Early coagulopathy occurred in 36.7% of patients with multiple trauma. Patients in the coagulopathy group had significantly higher ISS scores, lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores, and higher 30-day mortality rates compared with those without coagulopathy. aPTT, INR, and ISS were all significant predictors of mortality in patients with multiple trauma.
