Association between perioperative plasma transfusion and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing surgeries without massive transfusion: A nationwide retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An aggressive plasma transfusion is associated with a decreased mortality in traumatic patients requiring massive transfusion (MT). However, it is controversial whether non-traumatic or non-massively transfused patients can benefit from high doses of plasma.

Methods

We performed a nationwide retrospective cohort study using data from Hospital Quality Monitoring System, which collected anonymized inpatient medical records from 31 provinces in mainland China. We included the patients who had at least one record of surgical procedure and received red blood cell transfusion on the day of surgery from 2016 to 2018. We excluded those receiving MT or diagnosed with coagulopathy at admission. The exposure variable was the total volume of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfus
