This study analyzed and evaluated leukemia-associated coagulopathy in newly diagnosed pediatric leukemia patients using CCTs and ROTEM. The results showed that fibrinogen and platelets played a significant role in causing coagulopathies in this population. This suggests the utility of using CCTs and ROTEM in the pediatric population to evaluate hemostatic function and guide blood product replacement.
Background: Viscoelastic testing has been used in adult hematologic malignancies in conjunction with conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) to predict coagulopathies and tailor blood product replacement. However, there is a paucity of similar pediatric studies.Objectives: Analyze and correlate leukemia-associated coagulopathy in newly diagnosed pediatric leukemia patients using CCT's and Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM).Methods: Pediatric patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia underwent testing with ROTEM and CCTs on days 0, 15 and 29 of induction chemotherapy.Results: Sixty-two patients were enrolled. At presentation, 54.8 % of patients had platelets <50 K/mu L, 73 % had prolonged PT, 1.6 % had fibrinogen <150 mg/dL. Fifteen patients (24.2 %) had WHO grade 1 bleeding and two patients (3 %) had WHO grade 4 bleeding. EXTEM/INTEM values at presentation (day 0) reflected hypo -coagulability, however FIBTEM revealed hypercoagulability. Patients showed a progressive hypocoagulability in all ROTEM assays by day 15 (day 0 vs day 15, p < 0.001), with improvement by day 29 (day 15 vs day 29, p < 0.001). Day 0 ROTEM parameters were comparable to day 29. Fibrinogen strongly correlated with ROTEM at all three time points (p < 0.0001), along with platelet count with moderate correlations (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Fibrinogen and platelets appear to be the drivers of leukemia associated coagulopathy in the pediatric population, suggesting the utility of using CCTs and ROTEM in this population to better evaluate hemostatic function and guide blood product replacement.
