Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitoring for Early Identification of Sepsis: The VISION II Study (VISION II)

3. November 2026 aktualisiert von: Hellenic Institute for the Study of Sepsis

Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor as an Early Index of Sepsis in Patients Admitted With Infection at the Emergency Department: The VISION II Study

The VISION II study is a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study evaluating the diagnostic performance of Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM) parameters for the early identification of sepsis in adults presenting to the Emergency Department with suspected infection.The previous single-center, proof-of-concept VISION study (NCT07073456) showed that shorter clotting time (CT) was independently associated with sepsis and that patients with sepsis accumulated a greater number of out-of-range VCM measurements during follow-up. Although CT demonstrated potential for distinguishing between patients with and without sepsis, its diagnostic performance was moderate, supporting further evaluation in a larger, multicenter cohort.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Sepsis is frequently associated with hemostatic disturbances resulting from the close interaction between inflammation and coagulation. These alterations may occur early in the course of infection but may not be adequately detected by conventional coagulation tests. The Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM) is a point-of-care device that provides a rapid bedside assessment of whole-blood clot formation and may therefore support the early identification of patients progressing to sepsis.

In the previous single-center, prospective, proof-of-concept VISION study, VCM parameters were evaluated in adults presenting to the Emergency Department with suspected infection. Shorter clotting time (CT) remained independently associated with sepsis after adjustment for established clinical scores and laboratory biomarkers. Patients with sepsis also accumulated a greater number of out-of-range VCM measurements during follow-up. However, the diagnostic performance of CT was moderate, indicating the need for validation in a larger, multicenter cohort. Moreover, patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy were excluded from the previous study, limiting the applicability of its findings to routine Emergency Department practice.

VISION II is a prospective, observational, multicenter study designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of VCM parameters for the early identification of sepsis in approximately 400 adults presenting to the Emergency Department with suspected infection. Unlike the previous study, VISION II will include patients receiving chronic anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy and will assess the potential effect of these treatments on VCM parameters and diagnostic performance.

VCM testing and clinical and laboratory assessments will be performed at enrollment and, for patients who remain hospitalized, at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Recorded assessments will include SOFA-2, qSOFA, NEWS2 scores, conventional coagulation parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, microbiological findings, administered antibiotic therapy, admission to the Intensive Care Unit, survival status, and major thromboembolic events.

The primary endpoint is the difference in VCM-derived parameters between patients who develop sepsis within the first 72 hours and those who do not. Sepsis will be defined according to the Sepsis-3 criteria. Sepsis status will be independently determined by two clinical adjudicators who will review the available clinical data from the 72-hour follow-up period while remaining blinded to the VCM results.

Patients with suspected infection

Adult patients presenting to the Emergency Department with suspected infection, as determined by the treating physician's clinical judgment and according to the predefined infection criteria specified in the study protocol.
Diagnosetest: Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM) testing

Peripheral venous whole-blood samples will be collected for the assessment of eight parameters using the Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM): clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle, amplitude at 10 minutes (A10), amplitude at 20 minutes (A20), maximum clot firmness (MCF), lysis index at 30 minutes (LI30), and lysis index at 45 minutes (LI45). Assessments will be performed at enrollment and, for patients who remain hospitalized, at 24, 48, and 72 hours. VCM results will not influence the patient's treatment or any other aspect of standard clinical care, which will remain entirely at the discretion of the treating physicians.
