Abstract:Objective To investigate the related factors of hyperfibrinolysis in patients with cerebral contusion and to provide reference for its surgical treatment. Methods Totally 204 adult trauma patients with an admission ISS score more than 16 admitted to our hospital from June 2016 to June 2017 were selected, among which 98 cases with cerebral contusion were called experimental group and the other 106 cases with extracranial trauma were called control group. Hyperfibrinolysis was defined when the D-dimer level was more than 38 mg/L. Compared with the control group, the relationship between fibrinolysis and the severity of trauma, tissue injury and blood pressure in the experimental group was evaluated. Results In both groups, patients with hyperfibrinolysis were more severely damaged and got higher ISS scores. Pearson correlation analysis showed that ISS was positively correlated with PT, APTT and D-dimer, and the correlation coefficients were 0.463, 0.436 and 0.663 respectively. Tissue damage assessed by levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) was positively correlated with hyperfibrinolysis in both groups. In the experimental group, mortality of patients with hyperfibrinolysis was higher than that without hyperfibrinolysis. Systolic blood pressure and hyperfibrinolysis in the experimental group were positively correlated and negatively correlated in the control group. Conclusions Hyperfibrinolysis occurs in the patients with severe trauma and is related to the degree of trauma and tissue injury. The mortality of patients with cerebral contusion and hyperfibrinolysis is higher, which is related to the increased systolic blood pressure.
