Evaluation and analysis of bleeding risk of anticoagulation therapy in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 based on heparinase-modified TEG

Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2024, Vol 37, Issue 3

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical application of heparinase-modified TEG (hmTEG) in evaluating coagulation status and monitoring anticoagulant therapy in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19. Methods The clinical data of severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 confirmed to be infected with novel coronary disease (SARS-CoV-2) from December 2022 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into therapeutic dose group and prophylactic dose group according to the initial dose of enoxaparin. The changes of platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, D-dimer, TEG and hmTEG before and after heparin treatment were compared between the two groups, so as to evaluate the changes of coagulation function and bleeding risk of COVID-19 severe non-ICU patients after anticoagulation with different doses of heparin. Results A total of 179 severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in this study, including 102 patients in therapeutic dose group and 77 patients in prophylactic dose group. Before receiving heparin anticoagulation, except for age(63.4±11.6 vs 59.8±9.1) D-dimer(678 ng/mL vs 621 ng/mL) and MA values [(69.1±10.2)mm vs (65.6±8.5)mm], there were no statistical differences in platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, R value, K time, α angle and coagulation index (CI) between the therapeutic dose group and the prophylactic dose group (P>0.05). After receiving heparin anticoagulation, there were significant differences in CKR value [(12.2±4.1)min vs (10.2±3.3)min] and CKHR value [(8.1±3.2)min vs (7.1±2.6)min] between therapeutic dose group and prophylactic dose group (P<0.05), but no significant differences in other parameters between groups (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the proportion of heparin overdose in the therapeutic dose group was significantly higher than that in the prophylactic dose group 15.69%(16/102) vs 5.19%(4/77)(P<0.05). However, there was no difference in the incidence of VTE events 2.35 %(2/85) vs 2.78%(2/72), gastrointestinal bleeding 2.35%(2/85) vs 1.39%(1/72), ICU admission 4.71%(4/85) vs 4.17%(3/72) and death events 3.53%(3/85) vs 2.78%(2/72) between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion In the current epidemic trend of COVID-19, in order to reduce the occurrence of bleeding events, the heparin dose should be selected more carefully in the prevention of thrombosis in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19. The individualized assessment of bleeding risk by hmTEG is more conducive to the adjustment and control of heparin dose.
