Transfusion Futility Thresholds for Geriatric Trauma With or Without Concomitant Traumatic Brain Injury
Among geriatric trauma patients with abdominal and/or chest injuries with or without concomitant moderate-severe TBI, those exceeding the TFT had significantly higher odds of 48-hr mortality. Additionally, non-TBI patients exceeding the TFT had higher odds of severe sepsis and AKI. This study offers strong evidence for the establishment of massive transfusion guidelines specific to the geriatric population, particularly with or without TBI.
