Perioperative iron – There is no easy answer Intravenous (IV) iron is a major cornerstone of every PBM programme. It has been shown in many clinical situations that IV iron […]
This article describes a new physiology via the upregulation of FGF23 by ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) with subsequent development of hypophosphatemia. It provides a degree of caution with the long-term use […]
This trial is a non-inferiority RCT comparing the effect of a liberal versus restrictive transfusion strategy on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients undergoing haematopoietic stem cell (HCT) transplant. […]
This study examines the association between postoperative anaemia and postoperative delirium. Given the high prevalence of postoperative anaemia, the authors were interested in understanding whether the lower oxygen delivery associated […]
In this article, the authors present their approach to the treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia in patients presenting for elective oesophagogastric surgery. These patients had a high incidence of preoperative anaemia […]
This study is a retrospective study examining the association between maternal and neonatal outcomes and iron deficiency. While the authors note that the link between iron deficiency and adverse maternal […]
This is a large database report of the incidence and duration of anaemia in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population over the course of their disease lifetime. The authors conducted […]
Is there a relationship between anaemia and depression in the postpartum period? Certainly perioperative anaemia has been independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality across many different specialities in surgical […]
This study aims to establish a reliable prevalence estimate of anaemia in patients with different severities of heart failure (HF), and to identify whether the severity of HF and anaemia […]
This study by Padmanabhan et al. is a well-conducted retrospective analysis that confirms that anaemia before cardiac surgery is strongly associated with long-term mortality. The impact of preoperative anaemia seems […]
In this follow-up of an open-label randomised controlled trial (designed to be pragmatic and applicable to current cancer treatment timelines, and powered to detect a difference in transfusion rates), the […]
This is a very well-designed retrospective study using a large American surgical database (NISQP) reporting the a high incidence of anaemia (19.5%) in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic hysterectomy. The following […]
While Patient Blood Management (PBM) is becoming a new standard worldwide with evidence-based and expert consensus guidelines to promote the three PBM pillars, measuring the performance of these efforts remains […]
Preoperative anaemia detection and the timely management of deficiencies remain a serious challenge in many health care settings. In this pragmatic RCT by Spahn et al., the trial design attempted […]
This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the implementation of a comprehensive PBM approach. Studies included had to address at least one recognised PBM modality per pillar. Data for 235,779 surgical […]
