The present study demonstrated a pattern of increasing coagulability, as defined by ROTEM, with increasing age group in trauma patients, even among the severely injured. Further investigation is required to determine the clinical impact of these findings on both the ROTEM-guided management and longitudinal outcomes of these patients and whether an age-specific approach is beneficial.
