ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Increased blood volumes, due to massive transfusion (MT), are known to be associated with both infectious and noninfectious adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the association between MT and outcomes in pediatric trauma patients, and, secondarily, determine if these outcomes are differential by age once MT is reached.METHODS:
Pediatric patients (ages 1-18 y old) in the ACS pediatric Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database (2015-2018) who received blood were included. Patients were stratified by MT status, which was defined as blood product volume of 40 mL/kg within 24 h of admission (MT+) and compared to children who received blood products but did not meet the MT threshold (MT-). Defined MT + patients were matched 11 to MT-patients via propensity score matching of characteristics before comparisons. Adjusted logistic regression was performed on univariably significant outcomes of interest.RESULTS:
There were 2318 patients in the analytic cohort. Patients who received MT had higher rates of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) (2.5% versus 1.0%, P < 0.001), acute kidney injury (AKI) (1.5% versus 0.0%, P = 0.022), CLABSI (4.0% versus 2.0% P = 0.008), and severe sepsis (2.3% versus. 1.1%, P = 0.02). On logistic regression MT was an independent risk factor for these outcomes. There was no differential effect of MT on these outcomes based on age.CONCLUSIONS:
Outcomes associated with blood transfusion in pediatric trauma patients are low overall, but rates of DVT, AKI, CLABSI, and sepsis are higher in those who receive MT+ with no differences based on age.Palabras clave
