Zeeshan et al., 2019 |
Multicenter, retrospective |
468 patients w/o preinjury anticoagulants. |
Compared to FFP alone, addition of 4-PCC contributed to decreased mortality (17.5% vs. 27.7%, p = 0.01), lower rates of acute respiratory distress syndrome (1.3% vs. 4.7%, p = 0.04), and incidence of acute kidney injury (2.1% vs. 7.3%, p = 0.01). |

Jehan et al., 2018 |
Unicenter, retrospective |
120 patients w/o preinjury anticoagulants |
4-PCC + FFP was associated with an accelerated correction of INR (373 vs. 955 mins; p = 0.001), decreased need of transfusion, and lower mortality. |

Joseph et al., 2014 |
Unicenter, retrospective |
252 patients escorted to trauma center and with initial INR ≥ 1.5 |
Extra PCC with baseline FFP facilitated INR normalization, reduced pRBC or FFP supplementation, and declined mortality. |
