Popis: Background: The effect of blood component ratios on the survival of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been studied. Methods: A database of patients transfused in the first 24 hours after admission for injury from 22 Level I trauma centers over an 18-month period was queried to find patients who (1) met different definitions of massive transfusion (5 units red blood cell [RBC] in 6 hours vs. 10 units RBC in 24 hours), (2) received high or low ratios of platelets or plasma to RBC units (1:2 vs. /=1:2), and (3) had severe TBI (head abbreviated injury score /=3) (TBI+). Results: Of 2,312 total patients, 850 patients were transfused with /= 5 RBC units in 6 hours and 807 could be classified into TBi+ (n = 281) or TBI- (n = 526). Six hundred forty-three patients were transfused with /=10 RBC units in 24 hours with 622 classified into TBI+ (n = 220) and TBi- (n = 402). For both high-risk populations, a high ratio of platelets:RBCs (not plasma) was independently associated with improved 30-day survival for patients with TBI+ and a high ratio of plasma:RBCs (not platelets) was independently associated with improved 30-day survival in TBI- patients. Conclusions: High platelet ratio was associated with improved survival in TBI+ patients while a high plasma ratio was associated with improved survival in TBI- patients. Prospective studies of blood product ratios should include TBI in the analysis for determination of optimal use of ratios on outcome in injured patients.
