Early hypotension following moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with increased mortality and poor long-term outcomes. Current guidelines suggest the use of intravenous vasopressors to support blood pressure following TBI; however, guidelines do not specify vasopressor type, resulting in variation in clinical practice. Minimal data are available to guide clinicians on optimal early vasopressor choice to support blood pressure following TBI. Therefore, we conducted a multicenter study to examine initial vasopressor choice for the support of blood pressure following TBI and its association with clinical and functional outcomes after injury. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients enrolled in the TRACK-TBI study, an 18-center prospective cohort study of TBI patients evaluated in participating Level 1 trauma centers. We examined adults with moderate-severe TBI (defined as Glasgow Coma Scale score <13) who were admitted to the ICU and received an intravenous vasopressor within 48 hours of admission. The primary exposure was initial vasopressor choice (phenylephrine versus norepinephrine) and the primary outcome was 6-month Glasgow Outcomes Scale Extended (GOSE), with the following secondary outcomes: length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, in-hospital mortality, new requirement for dialysis, and 6-month Disability Rating Scale (DRS). Regression analysis was used to assess differences in outcomes between patients exposed to norepinephrine versus phenylephrine, with propensity-weighting to address selection bias due to both the non-random allocation of the treatment groups and subject drop-out. The final study sample included 156 patients, of whom 79 (51%) received norepinephrine, 69 (44%) received phenylephrine, and 8 (5%) received an alternate drug as their initial vasopressor. 121 (77%) of patients were male, with a mean age of 43.1 years. Of patients receiving norepinephrine as their initial vasopressor, 32% had a favorable outcome (GOSE 5-8), while 40% of patients receiving phenylephrine as their initial vasopressor had a favorable outcome. Compared to phenylephrine, exposure to norepinephrine was not significantly associated with improved 6-month GOSE (weighted odds ratio 1.40, 95% CI 0.66-2.96, p=0.37) or any secondary outcome. The majority of patients with moderate-severe TBI received either phenylephrine or norepinephrine as first-line agents for blood pressure support following brain injury. Initial choice of norepinephrine, compared to phenylephrine, was not associated with improved clinical or functional outcomes.
