NCT04265508

Brief Summary

Our study included both in- and outpatients suffering from liver cirrhosis attending the out- and inpatient care of the department of hepatology. Demographic and biochemical data as well as medical history including cause of liver cirrhosis, end stage kidney failure and medication with anticoagulants were recorded. To assess the hemostatic profile, platelet function was analyzed by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) using Multiplate (ADP-, ASPI- and TRAP-test) and thrombelastometry using ROTEM (EXTEM, INTEM, FIBTEM).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Aggregation of platelets

    AUC of impedance aggregometry using multiple electrode aggregometry

    Venous blood was collected via a cannula inserted into a cubital vein. Platelet function was measured by MEA using the Multiplate analyzer 15min after blood draw and after activation with commercially available standard reagents

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Viscoelastic measurements

    Venous blood was collected via a cannula inserted into a cubital vein. Thrombelastometric assays were performed 15min after blood draw.

Study Arms (2)

Low MELD score

MELD score of 6 - 11

Other: Assessment of hemostatic profile

High MELD score

MELD score of ≥ 17

Other: Assessment of hemostatic profile

Interventions

To assess the hemostatic profile, platelet function was analyzed by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) using Multiplate (ADP-, ASPI- and TRAP-test) and thrombelastometry using ROTEM (EXTEM, INTEM, FIBTEM)

Also known as: Thrombelastometry; impedance aggregometry

Study Population

All patients attending the in- and outpatient care of the department of hepatology between 12/2017 and 05/2018 meeting the inclusion criteria were offered to participate in the present study. Inclusion criteria were liver cirrhosis and age of ≥ 18 years. Furthermore, a platelet count of at least 70 x103/µL was mandatory to ensure adequate measurement of MEA using the Multiplate analyzer. Patients were excluded when given a platelet concentrate three weeks prior to inclusion or in case of pregnancy.

You may qualify if:

  • liver cirrhosis
  • age of ≥ 18 years
  • platelet count of at least 70 / nl

You may not qualify if:

  • pregnancy
  • age \< 18 years
  • missing informed consent
