Crit Care

December 2014

Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Academic Medical Center, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Introduction: Data on the incidence of a hypercoagulable state in trauma, as measured by thromboelastometry (ROTEM), is limited and the prognostic value of hypercoagulability after trauma on outcome is unclear.

Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study in trauma patients who met the highest trauma level team activation.
