Although sepsis evokes changes of coagulation and fibrinolysis it is unknown whether thromboelastometry can detect these alterations. We investigated whether thromboelastometry variables are suitable as biomarkers for severe sepsis in critically ill adults. Methods In the observational cohort study blood samples were obtained from patients on the day of diagnosis of severe sepsis n 56 and from postoperative patients n 52 and clotting time clot formation time maximum clot firmness alpha angle and lysis index were measured with thromboelastometry. In addition procalcitonin interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein levels were determined. For comparison of biomarkers receiver operating characteristic ROC curves were used and the optimal cut-offs and odds ratios were calculated. Results In comparison with postoperative controls patients with sepsis showed an increase in lysis index 97 versus 92 P mean and SEM and procalcitonin ng ml versus P . Clotformation time alpha angle maximum clot firmness as well as interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein concentrations were not different between groups clotting time was slightly prolonged. ROC analysis demonstrated an area under the curve AUC of CI - for the lysis index and CI - for .
