Association between Clot Waveform Analysis Parameters and the Severity of Liver Cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT: Clot waveform analysis (CWA) provides a global assessment of hemostasis and may be useful for patients with cirrhosis with complex hemostatic abnormalities. This study aimed to assess the association between prothrombin time (PT-) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT-) based CWA parameters and cirrhosis severity and prospectively evaluate the role of CWA in predicting mortality and acute decompensation (AD) over 1 year.This prospective study included adult patients with cirrhosis between June 2021 and December 2023 at Chulalongkorn University Hospital. The PT- and aPTT-based CWA parameters were obtained using an automated coagulation analyzer.A total of 560 patients with cirrhosis were included; 165 (29.5%) and 47 (11.5%) had Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) B and C cirrhosis, respecti
