[A Systematic Review of the Value of Thrombelastography or Thromboelastometry for Prediction of Venous Thromboembolism].
Zhongguo Shi Yan Xue Ye Xue za Zhi 2017 October
OBJECTIVE: To systematically collect the thrombelastography (TEG)-or thromboelastometry (ROTEM)-related data, and predict to evaluate their values for the prediction of thromboembolic events.
METHODS: Databases including PubMed, Central and Embase were searched for the related clinical trials, and the references were retrieved manually; these included references were assessed qualitatively by the QUADAS-2 tool; finally the enrolled researches were qualitatively analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 15 studies consisting of 293 VTE patients met the inclusion criteria. The overall quality and the accuracy of TEG or ROTEM in predicting VTE varied a lot. Two thirds of the studies displayed that the changes of TEG parameters or ROTEM were related to the occurrence of VTE.
CONCLUSION: The present studies showed that the TEG or ROTEM for predicting the VTE display higher difference in accuracy, therefore, the combination of TEG or ROTEM with other laboratory tests may improve the accuracy of VTE diagnosis.
