Coagulation assessment in traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically relies upon laboratory-based standard coagulation tests (SCTs), including the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), INR and platelet count. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) sigma is an alternative point-of-care assay; however, its role in isolated TBI is under-evaluated. The present study aims to assess the prognostic utility of ROTEM sigma in isolated TBI.
