Abstract

After severe polytrauma the dynamic process of coagulation may deteriorate towards a trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) promoting a dramatic increase in morbidity and mortality. Recent evidence suggests that microparticles (MPs) play a pivotal role at the interface between cellular and plasmatic coagulation systems. However, the impact of MPs on functional coagulation has not been clarified yet in the setting of traumatic injuries. We assessed the temporal patterns of circulating MP concentrations including their cellular origin in the context of clinical presentation and global coagulation assays. Blood samples from 22 consecutive polytrauma patients (ISS ≥16) from 2015 were collected at hospital admission, after 24 and 72 h and compared to those from healthy individuals and minor injured patients with isolated extremity fractures. Flow cytometry (BD Accuri C6; Heidelberg/Germany) was used to determine MP concentrations and cellular origin using cell-specific markers (platelet derived (PDMP): CD42b+, CD61+, CD62p+; endothelial cell derived (EDMP): CD144+, CD62e+, CD144+/62e+). Results were correlated with clinical data and results from viscoelastic testing (ROTEM). Twenty two polytrauma patients (17 males, agemedian 60 yrs) with a median ISS 26.5 (IQR 14.5) were assessed. PDMP and EDMP concentrations increased significantly in polytrauma patients as compared to healthy individuals and minor injured patients. MP concentrations correlated with injury severity (CD144+: ρsp = 0.79, p < 0.001; CD42b+: ρsp = 0.61, p < 0.001). EDMP displayed a negative correlation with aPTT (CD144/62e+, ρsp = - 0.55, p < 0.05), INR (CD144/62e+, ρsp = - 0.61, p < 0.05) and ROTEM-INTEM CT (CD144/62e+, ρsp = - 0.68, p < 0.05) reflecting increased dynamics of clot formation and an overall procoagulative effect. Additionally, EDMP showed a negative association with FIBTEM values (10 min amplitude, maximum clot firmness) indicating a fibrinolytic potential. In a small cohort, analysing most severly injured patients, the association of increased MP levels and altered coagulation parameters could be demonstrated. However, these findings are based on correlation analysis, which do not enable causel evidence. Therefore, further in-vitro studies are needed analysing the underlying pathomechanisms. In conclusion, this study could demonstrate that PDMP and EDMP levels increase significantly following polytrauma correlating with injury severity. Although severe coagulopathy was not observed, EDMP levels were associated with improved coagulation parameters suggesting their essential role for regulating blood coagulation after trauma.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 May 2018.
All research outputs
#13,077,497
of 23,045,021 outputs
Outputs from Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
#757
of 1,265 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#158,313
of 326,468 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
#19
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,045,021 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,265 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 326,468 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
