Kal<strong>in</strong>a M, et al. A protocol f<strong>or</strong> the rapid n<strong>or</strong>malization of INR <strong>in</strong> trauma patients with <strong>in</strong>tracranial hem<strong>or</strong>rhage on prescribed<br />

warfar<strong>in</strong> therapy. 2008. 41<br />

Purpose To evaluate efficacy and safety of a Proplex T protocol f<strong>or</strong> rapid reversal of warfar<strong>in</strong>-<strong>in</strong>duced coagulopathy<br />

Design Study group: prospective<br />

Control group: hist<strong>or</strong>ical<br />

Patient Inclusion<br />

Population Trauma patients<br />

Hist<strong>or</strong>y of prescribed warfar<strong>in</strong> therapy<br />

Intracranial hem<strong>or</strong>rhage on CT scan<br />

INR >1.5<br />

Outcomes ICU length of stay; hospital length of stay; INR; Delta INR; Time to complete reversal of coagulopathy; Time to operate<br />

procedure; Use of <strong>FFP</strong> and vitam<strong>in</strong> K; M<strong>or</strong>tality<br />

Methods<br />

Patients who met <strong>in</strong>clusion criteria received weight-based dose of <strong>PCC</strong>, Proplex T, acc<strong>or</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g to manufacturer<br />

Significance denoted by a P ≤0.05<br />

Results Control group (n=65) vs. study/protocol group (n=46):<br />

Patient groups:<br />

111 trauma patients 46 patients <strong>in</strong> the study group, 65 patients <strong>in</strong> the control group<br />

Mean age ~77 years<br />

GCS ~12 <strong>in</strong> both groups<br />

100% of patients were <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> blunt trauma – falls and mot<strong>or</strong> vehicle accidents<br />

Similar demographics, ISS, GCS, and head AIS<br />

Increased number of patients receiv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>PCC</strong> (54.3% vs. 35.4%, p=0.047)<br />

Use of <strong>FFP</strong> and vitam<strong>in</strong> K was similar between groups<br />

Parameters of coagulopathy reversal & outcomes:<br />

Improved time to n<strong>or</strong>malization of INR (INR ≤ 1.5) <strong>in</strong> study group (331.3 vs. 737.8 m<strong>in</strong>, p=0.048)<br />

Improved number of patients with a therapeutic reversal of coagulopathy <strong>in</strong> study group (73.2% vs. 50.9%, p=0.026)<br />

Improved time to the operat<strong>in</strong>g room <strong>in</strong> study group (222.6 vs. 351.3 m<strong>in</strong>, p=0.045)<br />

No significant difference <strong>in</strong> ICU length of stay (~6-7 days), hospital length of stay (~10-13 days), <strong>or</strong> m<strong>or</strong>tality (~23%)<br />

between groups<br />

<strong>PCC</strong> use (n=48) vs. no <strong>PCC</strong> use (n=63):<br />

Patient groups:<br />

Patients who received <strong>PCC</strong> had higher head AIS sc<strong>or</strong>es (4 vs. 3, p=0.003); lower GCS sc<strong>or</strong>es (10 vs. 13, p=0.002)<br />

Parameters of coagulopathy reversal & outcomes:<br />

Longer ICU days (7 vs. 5 days, p=0.01), and longer hospital days (14 vs. 9 days, p=0.02) <strong>in</strong> <strong>PCC</strong> group<br />

Improved time to n<strong>or</strong>malization of INR <strong>in</strong> <strong>PCC</strong> group (327 vs. 758 days, p
