OBJECTIVE

Although oral anticoagulant use has been implicated in worse outcomes for patients with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), prior studies have mostly examined the use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). In an era of increasing use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in lieu of VKAs, the authors compared the survival outcomes of TBI patients on different types of premorbid anticoagulation medications with those of patients not on anticoagulation.

开云体育世界杯赔率

The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 1186 adult patients who presented at a level I trauma center with an intracranial hemorrhage after blunt trauma between 2016 and 2022. Patient demographics; comorbidities; and pre-, peri-, and postinjury characteristics were compared based on premorbid anticoagulation use. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression modeling of mortality was performed to adjust for risk factors that met a significance threshold of p < 0.1 on bivariate analysis.

RESULTS

1186例创伤性颅内哼哼orrhage, 49 (4.1%) were taking DOACs and 53 (4.5%) used VKAs at the time of injury. Patients using oral anticoagulants were more likely to be older (p < 0.001), to have a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (p < 0.001), and to present with a higher Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (p < 0.001) and lower Injury Severity Score (ISS; p < 0.001) than those on no anticoagulation. Patients using VKAs were more likely to undergo reversal than patients using DOACs (53% vs 31%, p < 0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression demonstrated significantly increased hazard ratios (HRs) for VKA use (HR 2.204, p = 0.003) and DOAC use (HR 1.973, p = 0.007). Increasing age (HR 1.040, p < 0.001), ISS (HR 1.017, p = 0.01), and Marshall score (HR 1.186, p < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of death. A higher GCS score on admission was associated with a decreased risk of death (HR 0.912, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with a traumatic intracranial injury who were on oral anticoagulant therapy before injury demonstrated higher mortality rates than patients who were not on oral anticoagulation after adjusting for age, comorbid conditions, and injury presentation.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with a traumatic intracranial injury who were on oral anticoagulant therapy before injury demonstrated higher mortality rates than patients who were not on oral anticoagulation after adjusting for age, comorbid conditions, and injury presentation.

Traumaticbrain injury (TBI) in the United States afflicts approximately 333 in 100,000 persons,1and more than 200,000 Americans are hospitalized each year after a TBI.2The prevalence of these injuries is biphasic in distribution, disproportionately affecting older adolescents and the elderly (> 65 years of age).3Outcomes after a TBI are influenced by several factors, such as the mechanism and severity of injury, the age of the patient and any comorbidities, and the use of anticoagulation. Prior studies have shown that patients on premorbid anticoagulation therapy experience worse outcomes after a TBI than those not on these medications.47Importantly, older patients are more likely to be on anticoagulants and experience worse outcomes after a TBI.47Amid an aging population, the prevalence of patients on anticoagulation, as well as of patients experiencing a TBI, is likely to rise.

There has been a sharp rise in the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) since their introduction in 2010.8The majority of prior studies have focused on the impact of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in TBI, whereas relatively few have evaluated the outcomes of TBI patients who use a DOAC. Unlike VKAs, in patients using DOACs who present after experiencing a TBI, the availability and cost of reversal agents can be prohibitive.

Clarifying the impact of anticoagulation on outcomes of patients with a TBI is critical to pre- and postinjury medical decision-making and patient counseling. VKAs and DOACs have overlapping indications, and understanding the risk of each class in the context of TBI may influence prescribing patterns. Outcome data in patients who use DOACs will guide postinjury decision-making for providers who care for and intervene on behalf of TBI patients. Death is not an uncommon outcome after a TBI and is even more common in the elderly and patients on anticoagulation.915We sought to compare the survival outcomes of TBI patients who were on DOACs or VKAs at the time of injury with those of patients who were not on an anticoagulation regimen and stratify risk based on underlying comorbidities, presenting symptomology, and injury mechanism. Similar to the existing data on VKAs, we postulated that patients on DOACs would experience worse outcomes than those not on anticoagulation medication but would have generally similar outcomes to patients using VKAs.

Patient Selection

Patients who experienced TBI with evidence of an intracranial hemorrhage (including epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, and intraparenchymal hemorrhages) from January 1, 2016, through December 30, 2022, were identified through review of a retrospective database at the University of Utah. Institutional review board approval for the database was provided without requirement of patient consent. Only adult patients (≥ 18 years) with radiologically confirmed acute intracranial hemorrhage at the time of trauma presentation were included.

Recorded Variables

从标识符相关的数据收集d patients included demographics, comorbidities, mechanism of injury, presenting Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, Injury Severity Score (ISS), radiographic Marshall score, neurosurgical intervention (classified as bedside procedure or operative intervention), and intensive care and hospital length of stay (LOS). Premorbid anticoagulant or antiplatelet use and the use of reversal agents for anticoagulation were also recorded. Survival data were generated from date of known death or date of last follow-up.

Statistical Analysis

Data were collected using Excel version 16.73 (Microsoft Corporation). Statistical analyses were conducted primarily using the "survminer" package in R version 4.3.0 (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing). The chi-square or Fisher exact test was used for categorical variables where appropriate, and the one-way ANOVA test was used for continuous data. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival, and a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine covariate associations with risk of death.

To identify the effects of independent risk factors on mortality, we conducted data analysis in two phases. First, individual covariates were assessed using a univariable Cox proportional hazards model for death. Parameters independently predictive of death (p < 0.1) on bivariate analysis were tested for satisfaction of the proportional hazards assumption and were then combined into a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, generating relevant hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. We conducted a similar analysis for 30-day mortality using a logistic regression model, generating relevant odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs.

The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines were used for this study.

Results

Patient Characteristics

Among 1822 trauma patients treated in 2016–2022, 1186 were found to have acute intracranial hemorrhage. Of these, 86 (7.3%) patients were on anticoagulant monotherapy, 85 (7.2%) patients were on antiplatelet monotherapy, and 16 (1.3%) patients were on concomitant antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy at the time of trauma presentation. Overall, the majority of our cohort was male (811 patients, 68%), with a mean age of 48.1 ± 20.7 years, mean BMI of 26.1 ± 10.2, and mean Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) of 2.2 ± 2.5. At presentation, the mean GCS score was 9.5 ± 4.7, the mean ISS was 18.6 ± 10.7, and the mean Marshall score was 2.7 ± 1.2. The mechanisms of injury consisted of primarily ground-level fall (533, 45%), followed by motor vehicle accident (218, 18%), motorcycle/bike accident (129, 11%), sporting accident (99, 8%), assault injury (94, 8%), pedestrian injury (72, 6%), gunshot wound (27, 2%), and other injuries (14, 1%). The mean follow-up time of our cohort was 19.5 months.

When comparing patients on anticoagulation (DOAC or VKA) with patients not on anticoagulation in our group, patients on anticoagulation were found to be significantly older at presentation (p < 0.001) (Table 1). Similarly, patients on anticoagulation carried a higher CCI (p < 0.001). Mechanisms of injury also differed among these groups. In the DOAC and VKA groups, 41 (84%) and 46 (87%) patients, respectively, presented with a fall, whereas 446 (41%) presented with a fall in the no-anticoagulation group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, patients not on anticoagulation were more likely to present with a lower GCS score (p < 0.001) and a higher ISS (p < 0.001) and experience longer intensive care unit (p = 0.004) and overall hospital (p < 0.001) LOS. Notably, patients who were using VKAs at the time of presentation were more likely to receive a reversal agent than those using DOACs (28 [53%] vs 15 [31%], p < 0.001). Reversal agents for patients using DOACs included 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC; 13 patients, 27%) and andexanet alfa (2 patients, 4%). In contrast, patients using VKAs received intravenous or oral vitamin K (10 patients, 19%), 4F-PCC (15 patients, 28%), or fresh-frozen plasma (3 patients, 6%). Patients within the anticoagulation and no-anticoagulation groups did not differ significantly in sex (p = 0.91), BMI (p = 0.06), Marshall score (p = 0.48), and rates of neurosurgical intervention (p = 0.25).

Within the anticoagulation group, patients using DOACs were older (p = 0.042) (Table 1) and had a lower BMI (p = 0.020) than patients using VKAs. However, these groups were similar (p > 0.05) in all other included factors. Notably, overall survival (OS) among these two groups was also not statistically significantly different (p = 0.290).

Effects on Short-Term and Overall Survival

In our cohort, 30-day mortality was found to be significantly higher in patients with DOAC (27%) and VKA (19%) use when compared with patients without anticoagulation use (10%; p < 0.001). In a logistic regression model adjusting for age, ISS, Marshall score, CCI, presenting GCS score, reversal agent usage, and concomitant antiplatelet use, DOAC use (OR 2.513, p = 0.045) but not VKA use (OR 2.223, p = 0.138) carried an increased risk of 30-day mortality compared with no anticoagulation use (Table 2). Greater age (OR 1.045, p < 0.001), ISS (OR 1.037, p < 0.001), and Marshall score (OR 1.316, p < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality in our cohort. Meanwhile, a higher GCS score at presentation (OR 0.859, p < 0.001) was significantly associated with a decreased risk of 30-day mortality. Antiplatelet use (aspirin or P2Y12 receptor blockers), CCI, and anticoagulation reversal were not associated with changes in risk of mortality (p > 0.05).

Patients with DOAC and VKA use demonstrated significantly lower OS in our cohort, with median OS times of 30.9 and 27.7 months, respectively. In contrast, patients without anticoagulation use demonstrated a median OS of 128.7 months (p < 0.001) (Fig. 1). In a Cox proportional hazards model for death adjusting for age, ISS, Marshall score, CCI, presenting GCS score, reversal agent usage, and concomitant antiplatelet use, both DOAC (HR 1.973, p = 0.007) and VKA (HR 2.204, p = 0.003) use carried an increased risk of death compared with no anticoagulation use (Table 3). Greater age (HR 1.040, p < 0.001), ISS (HR 1.017, p = 0.01), and Marshall score (HR 1.186, p < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of death in our cohort. In contrast, a higher GCS score at presentation (HR 0.912, p < 0.001) was significantly associated with a decreased risk of death. Antiplatelet use (aspirin or P2Y12 receptor blockers), CCI, and anticoagulation reversal were not associated with changes in risk of mortality (p > 0.05).

Discussion

DOACs are considered an effective, safe, manageable, and overall well-tolerated form of anticoagulation, especially when compared with oral VKAs.1620Before the introduction of DOACs, more than 10% of adults older than 65 years of age used VKAs.4Although some indications remain for the use of VKAs, such as prosthetic valves or antiphospholipid syndrome, DOACs are now preferred for most patients requiring anticoagulation. DOACs require less frequent monitoring than VKAs and reduce the risk of major bleeding and death;16however, despite their favorable risk profile in initial studies comparing the safety of DOACs and VKAs, DOAC use may lead to poor outcomes after head trauma. Clarifying the effect of these agents on patients with TBI is essential to pre- and postinjury medical decision-making.

Prior studies have evaluated the effects of preinjury VKA (specifically warfarin) use and found that the risks of mortality and adverse outcomes after a TBI were significantly higher than those for patients not on anticoagulation therapy.4,5,10,11,1315Among the studies that have assessed the effect of preinjury DOAC use, some have demonstrated little difference in mortality between patients on DOACs and those on VKAs,2126others have shown better outcomes for patients taking a DOAC,2733and some have seen worse outcomes for patients with TBI using DOACs.34,35Our study seeks to further clarify this question and stratify risk based on presentation GCS score, comorbidities, and the use of anticoagulation reversal agents.

The present study reveals that among patients with TBI, the risk of death was relatively similar in patients who were on VKAs and DOACs, after adjusting for age, comorbidities, and injury mechanism, although our findings are consistent with prior studies that found that increasing age, injury severity, and comorbidities led to worse outcomes. Patients who experience TBI are at a higher risk of all-cause mortality following hospitalization. We found that preinjury DOAC use led to a shorter median OS after a TBI than was seen in patients not on anticoagulation. However, the median OS was only marginally higher for patients on DOACs than for those on VKAs.

重要的是,患者创伤性脑损伤的while on either a VKA or DOAC more frequently experienced a mild mechanism of injury and had a higher initial GCS score. The majority of motor vehicle accidents, assaults, sporting accidents, and gunshot wounds were experienced by younger patients not on anticoagulation. Falls are currently the leading cause of head trauma and most often occur in the elderly, who are also more likely to be on anticoagulation medication.7Patients who are older, receiving anticoagulation therapy, and more prone to a TBI after minor injuries are more likely to have a higher CCI. In our cohort, antiplatelet use failed to demonstrate a significant impact on OS, which aligns with prior literature.5Also, in our study, patients with a higher Marshall score more often experienced death after a TBI. As the indications for VKA and DOAC use diverge, further studies clarifying the impact of specific comorbidities in each patient population may elucidate novel treatment strategies and management approaches.

Prior literature has evaluated the use of reversal agents in patients on anticoagulation who experience a TBI and found opposing outcomes, with some claiming benefit36,37and others demonstrating equivocal or worse outcomes22,26,38with their use. Most current literature evaluating the use of reversal agents in these patients focuses on laboratory evidence of anticoagulation status such as the international normalized ratio and radiographic evidence of intracranial hemorrhage progression rather than clinical outcome.37,3943In our cohort, patients on VKAs were more likely to undergo reversal, which is consistent with the current literature. At present, the benefits and indications for use of DOAC reversal agents (such as andexanet alfa) after a TBI are still relatively unclear. This, in combination with limited availability and prohibitive cost, leads to infrequent use in many clinical settings. We found that anticoagulation reversal was associated with a decreased rate of death, but the decrease was not statistically significant. The interpretation of our results, and that of previous research, is limited by a variable treatment pattern among physicians, timing of reversal, and clinical indication. Many physicians choose to use reversal agents depending on the severity of injury, imaging characteristics, age, anticoagulant, and time to presentation rather than applying reversal agents universally in the presence of anticoagulation. Additional prospective studies are needed to clarify the role of reversal agents in TBI patients on anticoagulation and to assess the potential effect of reversal on clinical outcome and death, specifically.

Limitations

这项工作包括retrospec的局限性tive nature of the study. In addition, our sample consisted of patients treated at a level I trauma center in the Intermountain West and thus may not be reflective of a more heterogeneous population treated in a different region of the United States or internationally. Many patients in our cohort were transferred from surrounding states and, as a result, had limited records for follow-up after discharge, which impacted our overall follow-up time. In addition, the criteria for reversal of anticoagulation varied widely among transfer centers, thereby adding inherent heterogeneity in patient management, which could impact overall outcomes. Furthermore, restarting anticoagulation for many patients was decided through collaboration among the neurosurgery, trauma surgery, and consulting team physicians. This collaboration introduced variation in clinical care that could impact short- and long-term mortality, but we believe that this is beyond the scope of this present work. Our anticoagulation and non-anticoagulation cohorts differed significantly in size, which could impact our ability to detect small differences between these groups. Although we did attempt to control for factors that may independently influence survival (such as age and comorbidity burden), there are potential frailty metrics that were not captured in our study that may have impacted outcomes significantly. Finally, as reversal agents for DOACs are becoming more available, the administration of these medications may become more widespread and lead to improved outcomes.

Conclusions

我们的研究结果表明,反的受伤前使用coagulation medications portends a worse outcome after a TBI, although patients with a higher initial GCS score and a lower ISS and Marshall score experienced death less often after a TBI. In the context of conflicting literature, we draw attention to the fact that patients on oral VKAs had overall similar outcomes to patients on DOACs after adjusting for injury mechanism, age, and comorbidities. Additional prospective and multicenter studies will bolster the current body of evidence and clarify the risks of anticoagulation and use of reversal agents in patients after a TBI.
