Abstract

Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Sepsis-induced coagulations is a predictor of mortality. Coagulation disorders in patients with sepsis can lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and associated with death. Fibrin monomer (FM) is generated from the degradation of fibrinogen by thrombin. We hypothesize that FM levels are elevated in pediatric patients with sepsis and MODS. We measured FM levels in 139 pediatric patients with sepsis at the Vietnam National Children’s Hospital between June 2021 and October 2024. Method: This was a cohort study to access the prognostic value of FM in pediatric sepsis. Main results: FM levels in pediatric sepsis showed a favorably correlation with the number of dysfunctional organs. The performance of prognostic value of MODS of FM is “fair”, while the performance of prognostic value of mortality of FM is “poor” in pediatric sepsis.
