Résumé
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optimal timing and type of pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTEp) in patients with severe blunt head trauma with acute subdural hematomas (ASDH). Matched cohort study using ACS-TQIP database (2013-2016) including patients with isolated ASDH. Outcomes of matched patients receiving early prophylaxis (EP, ≤48 h) and late prophylaxis (LP, >48 h) were compared with univariable and multivariable regression analysis. In 1,660 matched cases VTE complications (3.1% vs 0.5%, p < 0.001) were more common in the LP compared to the EP group. Multivariable regression analysis identified EP as an independent protective factor for VTE complications (OR 0.169, p < 0.001) but not mortality (p = 0.260). The adjusted risk for delayed craniectomy was not associated with EP compared to LP (p = 0.095). LMWH was independently associated with a lower mortality (OR 0.480, p = 0.008) compared to UH. Early VTEp (≤48 h) does not increase the risk for craniectomies and is independently associated with fewer VTE complications in patients with isolated ASDH. LMWH was independently associated with a lower mortality compared to UH.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optimal timing and type of pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTEp) in patients with severe blunt head trauma with acute subdural hematomas (ASDH).
METHODS
Matched cohort study using ACS-TQIP database (2013-2016) including patients with isolated ASDH. Outcomes of matched patients receiving early prophylaxis (EP, ≤48 h) and late prophylaxis (LP, >48 h) were compared with univariable and multivariable regression analysis.
RESULTS
In 1,660 matched cases VTE complications (3.1% vs 0.5%, p < 0.001) were more common in the LP compared to the EP group. Multivariable regression analysis identified EP as an independent protective factor for VTE complications (OR 0.169, p < 0.001) but not mortality (p = 0.260). The adjusted risk for delayed craniectomy was not associated with EP compared to LP (p = 0.095). LMWH was independently associated with a lower mortality (OR 0.480, p = 0.008) compared to UH.
CONCLUSIONS
Early VTEp (≤48 h) does not increase the risk for craniectomies and is independently associated with fewer VTE complications in patients with isolated ASDH. LMWH was independently associated with a lower mortality compared to UH.
