Prognostic Value of Thromboelastography Parameters for Early Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy in Severely Injured Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background and importance: Early trauma-induced coagulopathy (eTIC) is a major contributor to hemorrhage-related mortality after severe trauma. Viscoelastic testing using thromboelastography (TEG) has been increasingly implemented in trauma resuscitation; however, its prognostic value compared with conventional coagulation testing remains uncertain.
