A novel prognosis-prediction model based on coagulation indicators in secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disease. In the present retrospective study, we aimed to investigate coagulation disorders and their outcome implications in patients with secondary HLH. We evaluated clinical characteristics and the relationship between coagulation indices and prognosis in HLH patients (n = 141). The information, including clinical symptoms, laboratory indicators, and coagulation indices, was evaluated. Coagulation disorders and bleeding events occurred in 95 (67.4%) and 60 (42.6%) patients, respectively. A coagulation index analysis primarily showed elevated levels of D-Dimer, the international standardized ratio (INR), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and thrombin time (TT), while the prothrombin
