Hypocoagulable Tendency on Thromboelastometry Associated With Severity and Anticoagulation Timing in Pediatric Septic Shock: A Prospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To identify whether coagulation profiles using thromboelastometry are associated with outcomes in pediatric septic shock. The primary outcomes were the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and the severity of the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) existing scoring systems, while the secondary outcome was hospital mortality. This study aimed to contribute to current findings of the limitations of conventional tests in determining the optimal timing of anticoagulation in sepsis. Design: A prospective, observational study conducted between August 2019 and August 2020. Setting: PICU at a pediatric tertiary hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. Patients: Fifty-five pediatric patients who met the septic shock criteria were enrolled. Measur
