Screening of biomarkers for early diagnosis of trauma-induced coagulopathy based on untargeted metabolomics.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is an acute coagulation disorder characterized by massive bleeding following trauma and is a leading cause of mortality. However, current clinical methods are inadequate for predicting TIC onset, and reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis are lacking. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity for TIC using an untargeted metabolomics approach.

Methods

We analyzed serum samples from 54 trauma patients (27 with TIC and 27 without TIC) and 27 healthy controls. All samples were collected within 24 hours post-trauma. Metabolomic profiling was conducted using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Results

Metabolite profiles differed significantly between the TIC and
