摘要

BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is a common event in ICU patients, with controversial effects over their outcome. We aimed to assess the importance of thrombocytopenia kinetics on mortality of ICU patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing patients admitted to the adult ICU from a teaching University Hospital which had at least one platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3. Patients with thrombocytopenia prior to ICU admission were excluded. RESULTS: We analyzed 27 consecutive thrombocytopenic patients admitted to the adult ICU (22.5% of all ICU patients) in a 5-month period. Trauma (40%) and medical illness (26%) were the most common causes of admission. Those who died during ICU stay were significantly older than those who were discharged, and tended to be more severely ill, but there was no difference in bleeding events. The proportion of time with low platelets count in ICU and, specially, thrombocytopenia kinetics (evolution to rising or fall until discharge or death) were related to mortality. CONCLUSION: Thrombocytopenia kinetics, with tendency of declining during length of stay, predicts mortality better than sheer platelet count in ICU patients. INTRODUCTION Thrombocytopenia is a common event in ICU patients, with prevalence ranging from 13% to 41% (1-4), and it has meaningful morbidity and economic impact(3).It may be a multifactorial phenomenon, involving drugs, high consumption and low production of platelets (consumptive coagulopathy and acute illness) and also hemodilution secondary to infusion of fluids and blood products(2). However, the real impact of thrombocytopenia on mortality is debatable, once literature does not clearly show this association(2, 5-8).Thus, we aimed to determine the relationship between severity of thrombocytopenia andin-hospital/ICU length of stay, as well as assess the relation between the kynetics of thrombocytopenia and morbimortality and describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients admitted to the adult ICU of a University Hospital. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study through analysis of medical records from patients admitted to the Adult ICU of Western Paraná State University Hospital (a public teaching hospital with 173 beds), in Cascavel (Southern Brazil), for a five-month period who presented with thrombocytopenia. The 14-beds Adult ICU attends post-surgical (emergency and elective procedures), medical, trauma and obstetric patients. Inclusion criteria were: patients admitted to the Adult ICU in the period between August 1stand December 31st, 2011 that presented with thrombocytopenia (detected on one daily exam, at least). Exclusion criteria were: patients with thrombocytopenia prior to ICU admission, even if recorded during-hospital setting.The data obtained from medical records were tabulated so that differences could be observed in the prognostic role of thrombocytopenia (relation to death in the ICU or hospital). That was done by comparing clinical and epidemiologic factors, such as: gender, age, causes of ICU admission, possible etiologies of thrombocytopenia, and severity of disease at ICU admission (APACHE II score).Definitions of variables assessed in this paper:Thrombocytopenia: at least one Platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3.Major hemorrhage: Bleeding associated with one of the following: a decrease of hemoglobin over 2g/dl or drop of hematocrit over 6%; or need for blood products transfusion; or clinical instability (due to the hemorrhage); or intracranial or gastrointestinal bleeding.Minor bleeding: Mild clinical events and other causes (eg, epistaxis, skin and mucosal bleeding, and small hematomas).Trauma: Injuries caused by external source; traffic accidents or violence (insults by physical and chemical agents, injury by firearms and bladed weapons, which are common events in Brazilian routine).Sepsis: it was used definition established by Bone and cols (9).Leukopenia: at least one blood total leukocyte count <4,000 cel
