Trial summary

Hemocoagulation disorder is recognized to have crucial effects on hemorrhagic or ischemic diseases. Coagulation-related damages secondary to traumatic brain injury are common and severe secondary insults of head trauma and often leads to a poor prognosis. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult patients (18-80 years old) with isolated traumatic brain injury, who are admitted within 24 hours post-injury are included. To avoid interfering factors, patients with existing prior neurological disease or known coagulation disorders, patients on anticoagulants and medications known to affect coagulation function within 30 days before trauma or receiving blood components prior to blood draw, patients who deteriorate and die before determining whether coagulation-related damage exists are excluded. Clinical data are documented, including age, gender, mechanisms of trauma, types of lesions as evidenced by imaging examination and laboratory examination, etc.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who are delivered to hospital within 24 hours after head trauma
  • Patients whose abbreviated injury score (AIS) for other body regions is 3 or less are considered to be isolated traumatic brain injury

Who cannot join

  • Patients with existing prior neurological disease
  • Patients with known coagulation disorders
  • Patients on anticoagulants and medications known to affect coagulation function within 30 days before trauma
  • Patients receiving blood components prior to blood draw
  • Patients who deteriorate and die before determining whether coagulation- related damage exists

About this study

Official title: The Utility of Thromboelastography for Predicting the Risk of Coagulation-Related Damages Secondary to Traumatic Brain Injury

Hemocoagulation disorder is recognized to have crucial effects on hemorrhagic or ischemic diseases. Coagulation-related damages secondary to traumatic brain injury are common and severe secondary insults of head trauma and often leads to a poor prognosis. In this study, we sought to assess if posttraumatic hemocoagulation disorders determined using thromboelastography are associated with coagulation-related damages secondary to traumatic brain injury, and evaluate their influence on outcome among patients with head trauma. Based on above results, prediction models or risk scoring systems will be further developed and validated to predict coagulation-related damages secondary to traumatic brain injury.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Traumatic brain injuryPatients who are delivered within 24 hours after head trauma and sustain isolated traumatic brain injury are included in this study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Glasgow Outcome Scale scores

    Glasgow Outcome Scale 1 = death; Glasgow Outcome Scale 2 = vegetative state; Glasgow Outcome Scale 3 = severe neurological deficit; Glasgow Outcome Scale 4 = mild neurological deficit and Glasgow Outcome Scale 5 = premorbid level of functioning or completely recovery. Unfavorable outcome is defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of ≤ 3, and favorable outcome is defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of > 3.

    Measured: Six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Traumatic Brain Injury and Coagulation Disorder, run by Shanghai 6th People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Hao Chen, M.D., Ph.D. (86-21-64369181 ext. 8405, chenhao_316@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glasgow Outcome Scale scores (time frame: Six months). 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 17 Mar 2025.
