Video Summary
In this video presentation, Sheraston Kokoi discusses their research on validating risk stratification tools for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in post-surgical cardiovascular patients. HIT is a complication that affects a small percentage of cardiovascular surgery patients. The 4T score is commonly used to assess the risk, but it has only been validated in medical patients. Kokoi's study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the 4T score, as well as two novel scoring tools (CPB and HEP), in predicting HIT in surgical cardiovascular patients. Their research finds that the HEP scoring tool has high sensitivity and specificity in identifying HIT, and an optical density greater than 1 is a significant concern. Future research is needed to validate these scoring tools on a larger scale and explore other factors contributing to thrombocytopenia.
