Fibrinolysis was initially defined using rapid thrombelastography (rTEG). The cutoffs for the pathologic extremes of the fibrinolytic system, hyperfibrinolysis and shutdown, were both defined based on association with mortality. We propose to redefine these phenotypes for both TEG and for rotational thrombelastometry, the other commonly used viscoelastic assay. Rotational thrombelastometry, rTEG, and clinical data were prospectively collected on trauma patients admitted to an urban Level I trauma center from 2010 to 2016. Hyperfibrinolysis was defined as the Youden index from EXTEM-clot lysis index 60 minutes after clotting time (CLI60) and rTEG-fibrinolysis 30 minutes after achieving MA (LY30) for predicting massive transfusion (>10 red blood cell units, or death per 6 hours after injury) as a surrogate for severe bleeding. Patients identified as having hyperfibrinolysis were then removed from the data set, and the cutoff for fibrinolysis shutdown was derived as the optimal cutoff for predicting mortality in the remaining patients. Overall, 216 patients (median age, 36 years (interquartile range, 27-49 years), 82% men, 58% blunt injury) were included. Of these, 16% required massive transfusion, and 12.5% died. Rapid thrombelastography phenotypes were redefined as hyperfibrinolysis: rTEG-LY30 greater than7.7%, physiologic rTEG-LY30 0.6% to7.6%, and shutdown rTEG-LY30 less than 0.6%. EXTEM-CLI60 fibrinolysis phenotypes were hyperfibrinolysis CLI60 less than 82%, physiologic (CLI60, 82-97.9%), and shutdown (CLI60 > 98%). Weighted kappa statistics revealed moderate agreement between rotational thrombelastometry- and rTEG-defined fibrinolysis (k = 0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-0.63), with disagreement mostly in the shutdown and physiologic categories. We confirmed the U-shaped distribution of death related to fibrinolysis system abnormalities. Both rTEG LY30 and EXTEM CLI60 can identify the spectrum of fibrinolytic phenotypes, have moderate agreement, and can be used to guide hemostatic resuscitation. Diagnostic study, level III.
