Abstract

Objectives To evaluate daily life management and functional outcome of Idarucizumab administration in case of emergency situations in patients with Dabigatran treatment. Design Multicenter observational registry study. Setting All hospitals with full neurological departments (n = 6) in Munich, Germany Included patients All patients treated with Idarucizumab from 01/2016 to 03/2019. Analyzed data Indication and application of Idarucizumab, demographics and clinical parameters, and further interventions and treatments;clinical outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months after Idarucizumab administration Results Idarucizumab was administered to 32 patients for severe bleeding complications and ischemic strokes, more precisely for the following specific indications: intracranial bleeding (17 patients, 53%), ischemic stroke (8 patients, 25%), gastrointestinal bleeding (3 patients, 9%), femoral fracture, aortic dissection, and abdominal trauma and ileus (1 patient each, 3%). Additional coagulation management was performed in 7 patients (22%). Nine patients (28%) underwent emergency surgery. Seven patients (22%) received Idarucizumab before intravenous thrombolysis due to ischemic stroke and 4 of these 7 patients (13%) received mechanical thrombectomy in addition. Indication was mainly based on the history of Dabigatran intake and was irrespective of laboratory testing. At follow-up, 25% of the investigated patients had a mRS 0-2, while 25% had an unfavorable outcome (mRS 4-5). Mortality was 31%. Conclusion In our study, we have shown that the administration of Idarucizumab is a rare intervention and restricted to patients with severe bleeding complications or ischemic stroke. The clinical outcome of patients who received Idarucizumab in emergency situations was poor.
