Abstract
Background and objectives
Thrombocytopenia is common among burn patients. Platelet transfusion is frequently administered to increase platelet counts. However, it is not clear whether platelets affect the outcome after transfusion among adult burn patients with thrombocytopenia. Our aim is to explore whether platelet transfusion affects the prognosis of adult burn patients with thrombocytopenia.
Methods
We undertook a retrospective analysis of 368 adult burn victims with thrombocytopenia from the Department of Burn at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, China, from January 2014 to July 2021. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to reduce selection bias and confounding factors. After PSM, the platelet transfusion group and the no-platelet transfusion group each had 46 patients. Our primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality.
Results
Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that third-degree burn area [β = -0.040, odds ratio (OR) = 1.052, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.015–1.091] and platelet transfusion (OR =2.227, 95 % CI = 0.473–10.483) were independent risk factors (P < 0.05). KaplanMeier analysis showed that the 30-day mortality of patients in the platelet transfusion group and no-platelet transfusion group were 47.8 % and 19.6 %, respectively (P < 0.05)
Conclusion
Platelet transfusion was an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality in adult burn patients with thrombocytopenia.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
