Abstrakt: Introduction: The prognostic significance of the thrombin generation assay (TGA) with a thrombomodulin (TM) challenge in patients entering hospital with severe COVID-19 is uncertain.
Methods: We prospectively evaluated an automated TGA (aTGA) using the ST-ThromboScreen® assay and ST-Genesia® analyser in 179 patients with severe COVID-19 during their admission to 2 university hospitals. The primary outcome was early survival at Day 28 (D28). Secondary outcomes were late survival at Day 90 (D90), later transfer to an intensive care unit (ICU), and occurrence of any thrombotic complications during hospitalisation.
Results: Among the 174 patients, 50 were initially admitted to ICUs. Forty-two were transferred to ICUs before D28. Fourteen patients, all in ICUs, died before D28, and 20 before D90, all but 1 in ICUs. None of the aTGA-derived results were associated with vital status either at D28 or D90. Nine patients had a thrombotic event with no association with the aTGA results. Later transfer to the ICU was associated with higher velocity index, thrombin peak height and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) values of the aTGA performed with TM, and mainly with a lower TM-induced decrease in ETP (odds ratio 15.5 (2.15-132), p = 0.009).
Conclusions: aTGA, a global assay supposed to evidence coagulopathy, could predict neither early or late survival, nor thrombotic events, in hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Its clinical justification in that setting is thus unlikely. A relative resistance of the ETP to TM was associated with later transfer to the ICU and deserves further investigation.
