Background: Recent studies suggested that prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) might be more effective than fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to reduce red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirement after cardiac surgery. Methods: This is a comparative analysis of 416 patients who received FFP postoperatively and 119 patients who received PCC with or without FFP after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Results: Mixed-effects regression analyses adjusted for multiple covariates and participating centres showed that PCC significantly decreased RBC transfusion (67.2% vs. 87.5%, adjusted OR 0.319, 95%CI 0.136–0.752) and platelet transfusion requirements (11.8% vs. 45.2%, adjusted OR 0.238, 95%CI 0.097–0.566) compared with FFP. The PCC cohort received a mean of 2.7 ± 3.7 (median, 2.0, IQR 4) units of RBC and the FFP cohort received a mean of 4.9 ± 6.3 (median, 3.0, IQR 4) units of RBC (adjusted coefficient, −1.926, 95%CI −3.357–0.494). The use of PCC increased the risk of KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) acute kidney injury (41.4% vs. 28.2%, adjusted OR 2.300, 1.203–4.400), but not of KDIGO acute kidney injury stage 3 (6.0% vs. 8.0%, OR 0.850, 95%CI 0.258–2.796) when compared with the FFP cohort. Conclusions: These results suggest that the use of PCC compared with FFP may reduce the need of blood transfusion after CABG

Abstract
Background: Recent studies suggested that prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) might be more effective than fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to reduce red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirement after cardiac surgery. Methods: This is a comparative analysis of 416 patients who received FFP postoperatively and 119 patients who received PCC with or without FFP after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Results: Mixed-effects regression analyses adjusted for multiple covariates and participating centres showed that PCC significantly decreased RBC transfusion (67.2% vs. 87.5%, adjusted OR 0.319, 95%CI 0.136–0.752) and platelet transfusion requirements (11.8% vs. 45.2%, adjusted OR 0.238, 95%CI 0.097–0.566) compared with FFP. The PCC cohort received a mean of 2.7 ± 3.7 (median, 2.0, IQR 4) units of RBC and the FFP cohort received a mean of 4.9 ± 6.3 (median, 3.0, IQR 4) units of RBC (adjusted coefficient, −1.926, 95%CI −3.357–0.494). The use of PCC increased the risk of KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) acute kidney injury (41.4% vs. 28.2%, adjusted OR 2.300, 1.203–4.400), but not of KDIGO acute kidney injury stage 3 (6.0% vs. 8.0%, OR 0.850, 95%CI 0.258–2.796) when compared with the FFP cohort.
