  •   Objective  To investigate the role of coagulation function parameters and platelet indices in thrombotic events in patients with hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).  Methods  A total of 56 patients with HBV-ACLF who were hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2015 to December 2019 were enrolled and divided into thrombotic complication (TC) group with 24 patients and non-thrombotic complication (NTC) group with 32 patients. A retrospective analysis was performed for their general clinical data on admission, and the patients were observed in terms of the changes in coagulation function, platelet count (PLT), and the platelet function-related index mean platelet volume (MPV) on days 1-7 after admission. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare coagulation markers within and between groups at different time points.  Results  On admission, the TC group had a significantly younger age than the NTC group [31.5 (29.0-34.0) years vs 48.5 (36.0-50.7) years, Z=-2.637, P=0.008]. On the day of admission, there was no significant difference in MPV between the TC group and the NTC group (P > 0.05), while on days 2-7 after admission, there was a significant difference in MPV between the two groups (t=-2.696、-2.742、-2.894、-4.174、-3.945、-4.716, all P < 0.01). In the TC group, MPV reached the peak value on day 5 of admission, with a mean value of 13.90±1.12 fl, which was higher than the range of normal values. On admission, all patients had a mean prothrombin time (PT) of 28.8±7.2 s, a mean activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of 50.5±8.7 s, and a mean international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.6±0.7, which were higher than normal values; all patients had a mean fibrinogen (Fb) level of 1.16±0.3 g/L and a mean PLT of (107.7±26.5)×109/L, which were lower than normal values. There were no significant differences in PT, APTT, Fb, INR, and PLT between the TC group and the NTC group (all P > 0.05).  Conclusion  Coagulation disorder in patients with liver failure is more of a low-equilibrium state, which is complex and heterogeneous and requires individualized treatment. For patients with HBV-ACLF, the development of thrombotic events may be more associated with platelet function than PLT or conventional coagulation markers.
