COVID-19 causes hypercoagulability, but the association between coagulopathy and hypoxemia in critically ill patients has not been thoroughly explored. We hypothesized that severity of coagulopathy would be associated with ARDS severity, major thrombotic events, and mortality in patients requiring ICU-level care. Viscoelastic testing by ROTEM and coagulation factor biomarker analyses were performed in this prospective observational cohort study of critically ill COVID-19 patients from April 2020 to October 2020. Statistical analyses were performed to identify significant coagulopathic biomarkers such as fibrinolysis-inhibiting plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and their associations with clinical outcomes such as mortality, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requirement, occurrence of major thrombotic events, and severity of hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 categorized into mild, moderate, and severe per the Berlin Criteria). In total, 53/55 (96%) of the cohort required mechanical ventilation and 9/55 (16%) required ECMO. ECMO-naïve patients demonstrated Lysis Indices at 30 minutes indicative of fibrinolytic suppression on ROTEM. Survivors demonstrated less procoagulate acute phase reactants such as MP-Tissue Factor levels (OR 0.14 (0.02, 0.99), p = 0.049). Those who did not experience significant bleeding events had smaller changes in ADAMTS13 levels compared to those that did (OR 0.05 (0, .7), p = 0.026). Elevations in PAI-1 (OR 1.95 (1.21, 3.14), p = 0.006), d-dimer (OR 3.52 (0.99, 12.48), p = 0.05), and factor VIII (no clot 1.15 ± 0.28 versus clot 1.42 ± 0.31, p = 0.003) were also demonstrated in ECMO-naïve patients who experienced major thrombotic events. PAI-1 levels were significantly elevated during periods of severe compared to mild and moderate ARDS (severe 44.2 ± 14.9 ng/mL versus mild 31.8 ± 14.7 ng/mL and moderate 33.1 ± 15.9 ng/mL, p = 0.029 and 0.039 respectively). Increased inflammatory and pro-coagulant markers such as PAI-1, MP- Tissue Factor, vWF levels are associated with severe hypoxemia and major thrombotic events, implicating fibrinolytic suppression in the microcirculatory system and subsequent micro- and macrovascular thrombosis in severe COVID-19.
