- Abstract
Abstract: Background: Although coagulopathy is often observed in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), its clinical impact remains poorly understood. Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the coagulopathy parameters that are clinically applicable for prognostication and to determine anticoagulant indications in sepsis-induced ARDS. Method: This study enrolled patients with sepsis-derived ARDS from two nationwide multicenter, prospective observational studies. We explored coagulopathy parameters that could predict outcomes in the Focused Outcome Research on Emergency Care for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Sepsis, and Trauma (FORECAST) cohort, and the defined coagulopathy criteria were validated in the Sepsis Prognostication in Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Room-Intensive Care Unit (SPICE-ICU) cohort. The correlation between anticoagulant use and outcomes was also evaluated. Results: A total of 181 patients with sepsis-derived ARDS in the FORECAST study and 61 patients in the SPICE-ICU study were included. In a preliminary study, we found the set of prothrombin time-international normalized ratio ≥1.4 and platelet count ≤12 × 10 4 /μL, and thrombocytopenia and elongated prothrombin time (TEP) coagulopathy as the best coagulopathy parameters and used it for further analysis; the odds ratio (OR) of TEP coagulopathy for in-hospital mortality adjusted for confounding was 3.84 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.66-8.87; P = 0.005). In the validation cohort, the adjusted OR for in-hospital mortality was 32.99 (95% CI, 2.60-418.72; P = 0.002). Although patients without TEP coagulopathy showed significant improvements in oxygenation over the first 4 days, patients with TEP coagulopathy showed no significant improvement (ΔPaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio, 24 ± 20 vs. 90 ± 9; P = 0.026). Furthermore, anticoagulant use was significantly correlated with mortality and oxygenation recovery in patients with TEP coagulopathy but not in patients without TEP coagulopathy. Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia and elongated prothrombin time coagulopathy is closely associated with better outcomes and responses to anticoagulant therapy in sepsis-induced ARDS, and our coagulopathy criteria may be clinically useful., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest/competing interests: Dr Fujishima reports grants and personal fees from Asahi Kasei Japan Co; personal fees from Takeda Pharmaceutical Co, Ltd; grants from Chugai Pharmaceuticals Co, Ltd; grants from Teijin Pharma Ltd; grants from Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co, Ltd; grants from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma; grants from Tsumura & Co; grants from Shionogi Co, Ltd; and grants from Teijin Pharma, Ltd, outside the submitted work.
