| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: We conducted an observational study of outcomes and costs associated with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) use in patients receiving warfarin with intracerebral, gastrointestinal, or musculoskeletal bleeding. METHODS: Patients who had at least 1 International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision code indicative of anticoagulation history, received ≥ 1 unit FFP, and had patient costs >\$0 were identified from a database of >600 US hospitals. The main outcome was transfusion of additional blood products (eg, cryoprecipitate, red blood cells, or platelets) or vitamin K. Further outcomes included administration of other bleeding-related therapies (eg, recombinant activated factor VII, albumin, or crystalloids), incidence of fluid overload, days in the intensive care unit, discharge status, and total hospital costs. RESULTS: The most frequently administered products were vitamin K and red blood cells, given to 55.6% to 61.0% and 19.2% to 29.3% of patients, respectively. The number of FFP units transfused correlated highly with fluid overload (r > 0.91) and was associated with inpatient mortality, nonhome discharge, and intensive care unit admittance. For both inpatient mortality and nonhome discharge, the odds ratio was significant when ≥ 4 units FFP were transfused (P < 0.05). A dose of >2 units FFP was associated with an increased probability of an intensive care unit stay (P < 0.05). Total costs were greater among patients receiving >2 units FFP compared with patients who received 1 unit FFP (P < 0.001), with a substantial increase in costs incurred when ≥ 4 units FFP were transfused. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with warfarin-related bleeding, inpatient mortality, nonhome discharge, intensive care unit admission, and hospital costs were associated with the number of units of FFP transfused. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
