ABSTRACT
Background:
Hemocoagulase batroxobin is used to prevent hemostasis or bleeding in surgical and trauma patients; however, the role of batroxobin in patients with hemoptysis is not well understood. We evaluated the risk factors and prognosis of acquired hypofibrinogenemia in hemoptysis patients treated systemically with batroxobin.Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of hospitalized patients who were administered batroxobin for hemoptysis. Acquired hypofibrinogenemia was defined as a plasma fibrinogen level >150 mg/dL at baseline, decreasing to <150 mg/dL after batroxobin administration.Results:
Overall, 183 patients were enrolled, of whom 75 had acquired hypofibrinogenemia after the administration of batroxobin. There was no statistical difference in the median age of the patients in the non-hypofibrinogenemia and hypofibrinogenemia groups (72.0 vs. 74.0 years, respectively). The patients in the hypofibrinogenemia group showed a higher rate of intensive care unit (ICU) admission (11.1% vs. 22.7%; P=0.041) and tended to have more massive hemoptysis than those in the non-hyperfibrinogenemia group (23.1% vs. 36.0%; P=0.068). The patients in the hypofibrinogenemia group further showed a higher requirement for transfusion (10.2% vs. 38.7%; P<0.000) than those in the non-hyperfibrinogenemia group. Low levels of baseline plasma fibrinogen and a prolonged and higher total dose of batroxobin were associated with the development of acquired hypofibrinogenemia. Acquired hypofibrinogenemia was associated with increased 30-day mortality [hazard ratio (HR), 4.164; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.318-13.157].Conclusions:
The plasma fibrinogen levels in patients who were administered batroxobin for hemoptysis should be monitored, and batroxobin should be discontinued if hypofibrinogenemia occurs.
