A comparative study of fibrinogen measurement using TEG ® functional fibrinogen and Clauss in adolescents undergoing scoliosis surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: In adolescents undergoing scoliosis surgery, FLEV correlated linearly with Clauss fibrinogen. Though FLEV overestimates Clauss constantly, FLEV values are able to predict hypofibrinogenemia and normal fibrinogen with both AUROC > 0.85. PMID: 32222095 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
