The aim of this study was to characterize the risk of a delayed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in trauma patients on direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
Patients on DOACs admitted to two Level I Trauma Centers between 2014 and 2017 were reviewed. Only patients with a negative admission CT brain were included. The primary outcome was a delayed ICH.
Overall, 249 patients were included. The median age was 81 years with 82% undergoing a repeat CT. Three patients developed a delayed ICH (1.2%). One developed an ICH after receiving tissue plasminogen activator for a cerebrovascular accident after two negative CTs. Excluding this patient, the incidence dropped to 0.8%. None required neurosurgical intervention.
For patients at risk for a TBI who are on DOACs, repeat cross-sectional imaging of the brain when the initial imaging is negative is not necessary. A period of clinical observation may be warranted.
本研究旨在描述创伤患者在直接口服抗凝药物(DOAC)治疗下发生迟发性颅内出血(ICH)的风险特征。
回顾了 2014 年至 2017 年间在两家一级创伤中心接受 DOAC 治疗的患者。仅纳入初始入院 CT 脑检查结果为阴性的患者。主要结局为迟发性 ICH。
共纳入 249 例患者。中位年龄为 81 岁,82%的患者行重复 CT 检查。3 例患者发生迟发性 ICH(1.2%)。1 例患者在两次阴性 CT 检查后因脑血管意外接受组织型纤溶酶原激活剂治疗后发生 ICH。排除该患者后,发病率降至 0.8%。均无需神经外科干预。
对于存在 TBI 风险且正在接受 DOAC 治疗的患者,初始影像学检查为阴性时,无需再次进行脑部横断面成像。可能需要进行一段时间的临床观察。
