Annual Meeting • 2008 • Abstracts Monday 10th March Session 1 08:00 – 08:10 Ochil Abstract No. 1 Abnormal aPTT Waveform Profile is associated with Increased Risk of Infection & Mortality following Cardiac Surgery Authors: J Lu 1 ; C Toh 2 ; A Grayson 1 ; M Jackson 1 ; C Downey 2 ; J Lloyd 2 ; W Dihmis 1 ; B Fabri 1 Author’s Institution: 1 The Cardiothoracic Centre NHS Trust, Liverpool, United Kingdom; 2 Department of Haematology University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Objectives: Abnormal biphasic transmittance waveform in the aPTT coagulation assay is due to the formation of a calcium-dependent complex of C-reactive protein with very low density lipoprotein. This is a marker for impending infection, sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy for general ITU patients. We examined whether similar relationship exists between abnormal aPTT waveform profiles and cardiac surgical patients. Methods: Between October 2005 and March 2006, 562 normal and 183 abnormal aPTT waveforms were identified in patients. We used logistic regression to develop a propensity score for matching normal and abnormal aPTT group membership and performed a propensity-matched analysis. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used as appropriate Results: The logistic EuroSCORE for the normal and abnormal aPTT groups was 3 and 6 respectively (p
