The prognostic value of routine coagulation tests for patients with heat stroke

Abstract Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of routine coagulation tests for patients with heat stroke. Methods This was a multi-center retrospective study. Patients who arrived at the hospital Results 60-day mortality rate was 20.9%. The median Prothrombin Time–International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) of the non-surviving patients was significantly higher than that of the survivors (P  Conclusions A prolonged APTT and elevated PT-INR within 24 h are independent prognostic factors of 60-day mortality in HS.
