ABSTRACT
Abstract Background Trauma-induced coagulopathy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated high rates of complications, unfavourable outcomes and mortality. The mechanism the development TBI-associated poorly understood. Methods This analysis, embedded prospective, multi-centred, observational Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study, aimed to characterise TBI. Emphasis was placed on acute phase following TBI, primary subgroups abnormal coagulation profile within 4 h admission, impact pre-injury anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy. In order minimise confounding factors, isolated TBI (iTBI) ( n = 598) were selected for this analysis. Results Haemostatic disorders observed approximately 20% iTBI patients. a subgroup therapy had twice exacerbated as likely those without premedication. turn increased mortality outcome post-injury. A multivariate analysis identified several independent risk factors which present at hospital admission. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) less than or equal 8, base excess (BE) − 6, hypothermia hypotension significantly. Conclusion Consideration these enables early prediction stratification after thus guiding clinical management.
