However, its effectiveness in isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI) management remains controversial, particularly when stratified by severity based on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores. This study aimed to examine the association between FFP administration within 24\u00a0h and mortality in patients with isolated TBI, overall and stratified by GCS on arrival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study using the Japan Trauma Data Bank (2019\u20132023). Adults with isolated TBI (intracranial AIS\u2009\u2265\u20093 and extracranial AIS\u2009&lt;\u20093) were included. Patients were classified into FFP and non-FFP groups based on transfusion within 24\u00a0h of admission. Subgroup analyses were performed by TBI severity (severe: GCS\u2009\u2264\u20098; mild-to-moderate: GCS\u2009&gt;\u20098), craniotomy status, and FFP dose. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Propensity score matching was applied to adjust for confounding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 12,480 patients (median age 72 years [IQR: 55, 82]; 66.6% male), 513 received FFP. After matching, FFP was not significantly associated with 28-day mortality (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.59\u20131.08). In subgroup analyses, FFP was associated with higher mortality in mild-to-moderate TBI (OR 2.38; 95% CI 1.07\u20135.31) and lower mortality in severe TBI (OR 0.61; 95% CI 0.42\u20130.88). No significant differences were observed by craniotomy status or FFP dose.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FFP administration was not associated with lower 28-day mortality in isolated TBI.
