Observational StudyAnalysis of inpatient use of fresh frozen plasma and other therapies and associated outcomes in patients with major bleeds from vitamin K antagonism.
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. ⋯ 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.
