The Effect of 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate to Reverse Factor Xa Inhibitors in Patients With Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage.
American Surgeon 2024 March 29
The utility of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) for reversal in patients on factor Xa inhibitors (XaI) is unclear, specifically in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This is a retrospective review over 6 years at a level 1 trauma center of patients presenting with mTBI on XaI comparing outcomes for those that received 4F-PCC to those that did not. 140 patients were included, 103 (74%) of these patients received 4F-PCC while 37 (26%) did not. There was no significant difference in neurologic decline within 48 hours of admission or need for neurosurgical intervention. Interestingly, there was no difference in ICH progression (16% vs 14%, P = .77). In this study, 4F-PCC given after mild traumatic brain injury did not impact ICH progression, neurologic decline, or need for neurosurgical intervention. Although limited in numbers, this study suggests that 4F-PCC is not necessarily required in mTBI and further studies are indicated.
