Objective: Platelet inhibition in traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be due to injury or antiplatelet medication use pre-injury. This study aims to identify factors associated with increased platelet arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) inhibition and determine if platelet transfusion reduces platelet dysfunction and affects outcome. Methods: Prospective thromboelastography (TEG) assays were collected on adult patients with TBI with intracranial injuries detected by computed tomography (CT). Outcomes included in-hospital mortality, and CT lesion expansion. Results: Of 153 patients, ADP inhibition was increased in moderate and severe TBI compared to mild TBI (p = 0.0011). P2Y12 inhibiting medications had increased ADP inhibition (p = 0.0077). Admission ADP inhibition was not associated with in-hospital mortality (p = 0.24) or CT lesion expansion (p = 0.94). Mean reduction of ADP inhibition from platelet transfusion (-15.1%) relative to no transfusion (+ 11.7%) was not statistically different (p = 0.0472). Conclusions: Mild TBI results in less ADP inhibition compared to moderate and severe TBI, suggesting a dose response relationship between TBI severity and degree of platelet dysfunction. Further, study is warranted to determine efficacy and parameters for platelet transfusion in patients with TBI.
