Four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) dosing is based on INR and actual body weight (ABW), with maximum doses not to exceed the dose used in patients weighing >100 kg (Kcentra PI). There are limited data comparing the efficacy of 4F-PCC between patients with low body weight ≤100 kg (LoWT) and high body weight >100 kg (HiWT).
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients on warfarin who received 4F-PCC for life-threatening major bleeding or requiring emergent surgery between January 2015 to June 2018 at three academic medical centers. These data were combined with a dataset from 2 randomized Phase 3b clinical trials.
We included 388 patients who received 4F-PCC, 318 (82%) were LoWT, and 70 (18%) were HiWT. Indication for 4F-PCC for life-threatening bleeding and emergent surgery was 266 (69%) and 122 (31%) patients, respectively. The most common bleeding type was intracranial hemorrhage (41%), followed by gastrointestinal (36%). The median dose was 2283 units (25 units/kg), and 2.1% of patients required a repeat dose.
In those >100 kg, we found no difference in achieving international normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.3, hemostasis in intracranial hemorrhage, or thrombosis. In-hospital mortality occurred 15% in LoWt versus 6% in HiWT (CI 1.8%-17%, = 0.034). Achievement of INR ≤ 1.5 was significantly lower in the LoWT group compared to the HiWT group (80% versus 91%, CI -20% to -2.5%, = 0.03).
四因子凝血酶原复合物浓缩剂(4F-PCC)的剂量是基于国际标准化比值(INR)和实际体重(ABW)来确定的,最大剂量不得超过体重>100 kg患者所使用的剂量(Kcentra药品说明书)。关于体重≤100 kg的低体重(LoWT)患者和体重>100 kg的高体重(HiWT)患者使用4F-PCC的疗效对比数据有限。
我们对2015年1月至2018年6月期间在三家学术医疗中心接受4F-PCC治疗的华法林治疗患者进行了一项回顾性队列研究,这些患者因危及生命的严重出血或需要紧急手术而接受治疗。这些数据与来自2项随机3b期临床试验的数据集相结合。
我们纳入了388例接受4F-PCC治疗的患者,其中318例(82%)为低体重患者,70例(18%)为高体重患者。因危及生命的出血和紧急手术而使用4F-PCC的患者分别为266例(69%)和122例(31%)。最常见的出血类型是颅内出血(41%),其次是胃肠道出血(36%)。中位剂量为2283单位(25单位/千克),2.1%的患者需要重复给药。
在体重>100 kg的患者中,我们发现在使国际标准化比值(INR)≤1.3、颅内出血止血或血栓形成方面没有差异。低体重患者的院内死亡率为15%,而高体重患者为6%(可信区间1.8%-17%,P = 0.034)。与高体重组相比,低体重组达到INR≤1.5的比例显著更低(80%对91%,可信区间-20%至-2.5%,P = 0.03)。
