About this study

Official title: Comparison of Viscoelastic Measurement by ROTEM® Delta and ClotPro® in Trauma Patients. Prospective Observational Study.

The purpose of the study is to describe the differences and interchangeability in measurements of viscoelastic tests of coagulation by two different devices in adult trauma patients.

Read the detailed description

The study will commence following approval by the Research Ethics Committee. All patients admitted to the emergency department for trauma from October 1, 2019, to January 31, 2020, will be enrolled after fulfilling the inclusion criteria and in the absence of any exclusion criteria. Informed consent will be requested.

Viscoelastic coagulation tests will be performed simultaneously using ROTEM® Delta and ClotPro®. The investigators will compare the values of clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle, maximum clot firmness (MCF), and maximum lysis (ML) obtained from the extrinsic pathway test (EX-test) on ClotPro® with those obtained from the extrinsic pathway test (EXTEM) on ROTEM® Delta.

Furthermore, the investigators will compare the values of clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle, maximum clot firmness (MCF), and maximum lysis (ML) obtained from the fibrinogen test (FIB-test) on ClotPro® with those obtained from fibrinogen thromboelastometry (FIBTEM) on ROTEM® Delta.

The secondary outcome will be to assess the relationship between measurement results and patient temperature.

Study data will be entered into a study form. Measurements may be repeated over time. The indication for subsequent measurements will be determined solely by the treating physician.

Differences in estimated viscoelastic coagulation parameters and the interchangeability of the two devices will be analysed.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  2. Clot formation time (CFT) in EX-test and EXTEM

    difference in clot formation time measured by EX-test and EXTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  3. alfa angle in EX-test and EXTEM

    difference in alfa angle measured by EX-test and EXTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  4. maximum clot firmness (MCF) in EX-test and EXTEM

    difference in maximum clot firmness measured by EX-test and EXTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  5. maximum lysis (ML) in EX-test and EXTEM

    maximum lysis difference in MCF measured by EX-test and EXTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  6. clotting time (CT) FIB-test and FIBTEM

    difference in clotting time measured by FIB-test and FIBTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  7. clot formation time (CFT) FIB-test and FIBTEM

    difference in clot formation time measured by FIB-test and FIBTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  8. maximum clot firmness (MCF) FIB-test and FIBTEM

    difference in maximum clot firmness measured by FIB-test and FIBTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  9. alfa angle FIB-test and FIBTEM

    difference in alfa angle measured by FIB-test and FIBTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  10. maximum lysis (ML) FIB-test and FIBTEM

    difference in maximum lysis measured by FIB-test and FIBTEM

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. patient temperature

    effect of patients´ temperature on results of measurements

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  2. maximum clot firmness (MCF) FIB-test and Clauss method

    correlation of maximum clot firmness with blod fibrinogen level

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  3. maximum clot firmness (MCF) FIBTEM and Clauss method

    correlation of maximum clot firmness with blod fibrinogen level

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polytrauma and Coagulation Disorder, run by Masaryk University at 1 site in Czechia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Czechia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clotting time (CT) in EX-test and EXTEM (time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2026.
