Elevating the standards of hypofibrinogenemia in trauma: Higher thresholds of admission fibrinogen predict mortality and organ dysfunction

Key Points

• The aim is to determine the impact of admission fibrinogen levels on mortality and organ dysfunction in trauma patients.
• Analyzed fibrinogen levels upon admission in trauma patients
• Evaluated the relationship between fibrinogen levels and 28-day/24-hour mortality
• Assessed post-traumatic acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
• Admission hypofibrinogenemia <200 mg/dL is linked to increased 28-day mortality
• Higher fibrinogen correlates with lower organ dysfunction rates
• Fibrinogen also serves as a marker for AKI and ARDS after trauma
