Relationship Between Initial Arterial Blood Gases and Coagulation Profiles - Analyzing the Prognosis and Outcomes in Patients with Multiple Injuries/Trauma.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:Trauma is recognized as a significant health concern across the world. The increase in the mortality rate of multiple trauma (MT) patients serves as a major issue for health-care providers. The study investigates the relationship between the initial arterial blood gases and coagulation profiles among the multiple injured/trauma patients. Patients and Methods:A retrospective study design was used, and 137 acute trauma patients' data were included from the King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) from 1 January 2014 to 1 October 2017. Results:The results showed that patients were mainly male (79.6%) and had RTA (71.5%). They had a normal pH (50.4%) and pCO2 (68.6%) while decreasing HCO3 (51.1%). An increasing level of pCO2 (45%) along with PT (28%), PTT (17%) and INR (23%) is observed. It also showed a decreasing level of platelets (39%). The overall findings showed a close association of the blood gases and coagulation indicators. Conclusion:The study concludes that to control the coagulation markers, the blood gases of the patients should be screened and monitored.

Project description:BackgroundIntravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance prediction remains substantial in Kawasaki disease (KD), with limited data on the predictive value of coagulation profile for IVIG resistance, particularly for repeated IVIG resistance. Therefore, the aim of our study was to testify the predictive validity of coagulation profile for both initial IVIG resistance and repeated IVIG resistance in KD.MethodsA total of 385 KD patients were prospectively recruited between April 2015 and May 2019. Coagulation and other profiles were evaluated between the IVIG-responsive and IVIG-resistant groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the association between coagulation profiles and IVIG resistance. ROC curves analysis was further performed to assess the validity of coagulation profiles in predicting both initial IVIG resistance and repeated IVIG resistance.ResultsProthrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen degradation products (FDPs), and D-dimer were significantly increased in the initial IVIG-resistant group with antithrombin III (ATIII) and thrombin time (TT) significantly reduced. Meanwhile, ATIII was declined markedly in repeated IVIG-resistant patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PT, APTT, D-dimer, and ATIII were independent risk factors for predicting initial IVIG resistance and ATIII for predicting repeated IVIG-resistant patients with KD. PT, APTT, D-dimer, and ATIII cutoff values of 13.95 s, 41.15 s, 1.48 mg/L, and 89.5% yielded sensitivities of 73%, 32%, 71%, and 81%, and specificities of 55%, 88%, 62%, and 51% for predicting initial IVIG resistance, respectively. The cutoff value of ATIII for predicting repeated IVIG resistance was 68.5%, with sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 55%.ConclusionsKD patients who have hypercoagulation during the acute phase might be at higher risk of developing IVIG resistance.

Project description:BackgroundLarge-scale multisite trauma registries with broad geographic coverage in low-income countries are rare. This lack of systematic trauma data impedes effective policy responses.MethodsAll patients presenting with trauma at 10 hospitals in Malawi from September 2018 to March 2020 were enrolled in a prospective registry. Using data from 49,241 cases, we analyze prevalence, causes, and distribution of trauma in adult patients, and timeliness of transport to health facilities and treatment.ResultsFalls were the most common mechanism of injury overall, but road traffic crashes (RTCs) were the most common mechanism of serious injury, accounting for (48%) of trauma admissions. This pattern was consistent across all central and district hospitals, with only one hospital recording < 40% of admissions due to RTCs. 49% of RTC-linked trauma patients were not in motorized vehicles at the time of the crash. 84% of passengers in cars/trucks/buses and 48% of drivers of cars/trucks/buses from RTCs did not wear seatbelts, and 52% of motorcycle riders (driver and passenger) did not wear helmets. For all serious trauma cases (defined as requiring hospital admission), median time to hospital arrival was 5 h 20 min (IQR 1 h 20 min, 24 h). For serious trauma cases that presented on the same day that trauma occurred, median time to hospital arrival was 2 h (IQR 1 h, 11 h). Significant predictors of hospital admission include being involved in an RTC, age > 55, Glasgow Coma Score < 12, and presentation at hospital on a weekend.ConclusionsRTCs make up almost half of hospitalized trauma cases in this setting, are equally common in referral and district hospitals, and are an important predictor of injury severity. Pedestrians and cyclists are just as affected as those in vehicles. Many of those injured in vehicles do not take adequate safety precautions. Most trauma patients, including those with serious injuries, do not receive prompt medical attention. Greater attention to safety for both motorized and especially non-motorized road users, and more timely, higher quality emergency medical services, are important policy priorities for Malawi and other developing countries with high burdens of RTC trauma.

Project description:Xiaoqu, one of three traditional jiuqu in China, is a saccharifying and fermenting agent used in Xiaoqu jiu brewing, with different ingredient compositions and preparation techniques used in various regions. The yield and quality of Xiaoqu jiu are significantly affected by the metabolites and microbiota of Xiaoqu; however, the associated relationship remains poorly understood. This study aimed to analyze this relationship in three typical traditional Xiaoqu from the Guizhou province in China. The non-volatile metabolites of Xiaoqu were detected using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry, whereas the classification and metabolic potential of the microbiota were investigated using metagenomic sequencing. Results show that Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria represent the dominant bacterial phyla, with Lactobacillus, Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Leuconostoc, and Weissella found to be the dominant bacterial genera. Meanwhile, Ascomycota, Mucoromycota, and Basidiomycota are the dominant fungal phyla with Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, Pichia, Rhizopus, and Phycomyces being the predominant fungal genera. Functional annotation of the microbiota revealed a major association with metabolism of carbohydrates, cofactors, and vitamins, as well as amino acids. A total of 39 significantly different metabolites (SDMs) were identified that are involved in 47 metabolic pathways, primarily that of starch and sucrose; glycine, serine, and threonine; glyoxylate and dicarboxylate; pyruvate; as well as biosynthesis of pantothenate and CoA. Further, based on Spearman's correlation analysis, Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus, Acetobacter, Weissella, Pantoea, Desmospora, and Bacillus are closely correlated with production of physicochemical indexes and SDMs. Moreover, the metabolic network generated for the breakdown of substrates and formation of SDMs in Xiaoqu was found to primarily center on the metabolism of carbohydrates and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. These results provide insights into the functional microorganisms and metabolic patterns present in traditional Guizhou Xiaoqu and might guide researchers in the production of stable and efficient Xiaoqu in the future.
