Investigation of predictors of bleeding complications in COVID-19 using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM^Ⓡ): A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemorrhagic complications in patients with coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) are infrequent but associated with a prognosis. This study aimed to elucidate the risk factors for bleeding complications in patients with COVID-19 using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) parameters and blood tests performed at admission.

Methods

In total, 31 patients with severe COVID-19 treated intensively at Saga University Hospital were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of hemorrhagic complications. Results from the blood tests performed at admission and during hospitalization, and ROTEM values acquired upon admission, were compared between the two groups.

Results

There were significant differences in ROTEM va
