Russell L, et al. - Standard biochemical coagulation parameters were assessed for utility as predictors of bleeding, thrombosis and mortality in adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients with haematological malignancies. Increased International Normalised Ratio (INR) at admission was found to be related to a higher rate of bleeding. Except for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which at ICU admission was associated with increased 30-day mortality, data indicated no association of any other biochemical coagulation or other parameter with bleeding, thrombosis or mortality.
