The blood-thinning drug warfarin is used by millions of people to prevent blood clots. However, people who suffer traumatic injuries while taking the medication are more likely to die.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University studied the outcomes of adults who were admitted to trauma centers. They found warfarin users were more likely to die from their injuries compared with non-warfarin users: 9.3% compared with 4.8%.
These patients were also more likely to have more severe injuries and to have sustained injuries in their homes. The biggest impact was among people younger than age 65 who had bleeding in the brain. They were 50% more likely to die compared with similar-aged patients who didn't take warfarin.
