Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the difference in incidence of multi organ failure (MOF) after treatment of trauma induced coagulopathy with Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or Coagulation factor concentrates (CFC).;Primary end point(s): Occurrence of MOF as assessed by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (SOFA) ;Secondary Objective: A secondary aim of the study is to investigate the frequency of treatment failure, whether or not coagulation test results, markers of inflammation and incidence of sepsis and lung injury differ between patients treated with CFC or FFP. A further goal of the study is to investigate whether or not in trauma patients a CFC based therapy results in an incidence of infections and thrombembolic events comparable to that observed with FFP treatment. Furthermore it will be evaluated whether the type of coagulation therapy influences transfusion requirements, ventilator-free days, length of ICU and hospital stay, and 24h and 30 day mortality. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary endpoint of the study is the difference in incidence of MOF between the CFC and FFP groups. MOF will be assessed by the daily SOFA score (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score) calculated using appropriate software by the ICU team not involved in the initial trauma care. The SOFA score determines the extent of a person's organ function or rate of failure. The score is based on six different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological systems. Each organ is graded from 0 (normal) to 4 (the most abnormal), providing a daily score of 0 to 24 points. MOF is defined as 2 or more points in at least two organ systems. | — |
