Outcomes of Patients Who Undergo Transfusion of Fresh Frozen Plasma: A Prospective, Observational, Multicentre Cohort Study in Hiroshima, Japan

Whether FFP transfusions are administered appropriately in Japan is currently unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients who undergo FFP transfusion and the appropriateness of use of FFP.Patients and Methods: This multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study was conducted from September 2017 to April 2019 at the 15 medical institutions in Hiroshima Prefecture that are the top providers of FFP. All patients who underwent FFP transfusion during the study period were included, relevant data being extracted from the medical records. The indications for FFP transfusion were classified in accordance with the Guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. Factors associated with patient outcomes at day 28 after FFP transfusion were subjected to multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results: In total, data of 1299 patients were eligible for analysis. At least 63.8% of indications for FFP were in accordance with the guideline for FFP transfusions. The mortality rate at day 28 after FFP transfusion was 16.2%. Older age (65– 74 years: adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=4.3, ≥ 75 years: AOR=4.1), non-perioperative use (AOR=4.5), coagulopathy associated with liver damage (AOR=2.7), large volume of FFP transfused (AOR=2.5), and lack of improvement in blood coagulation following FFP transfusion were independently and significantly associated with death within 28 days after FFP transfusion.Conclusion: Our findings do not support the simple conclusion that FFP transfusions contribute to prognosis. However, given that coagulopathy in patients with end-stage liver disease is infrequently improved by FFP transfusion, “inappropriate” use of FFP should be avoided. It is important to promote appropriate use of FFP so as not to waste blood resources.Keywords: prognosis, coagulopathy, inappropriate use, compliance with guideline
