Flexible modelling of the risks associated with donor sex and age of blood on survival after red blood cell transfusion
2021
Etat de la question Les etudes realisees jusqu’a present en epidemiologie transfusionnelle affichent des resultats contradictoires sur l’association entre caracteristiques du CGR et la mortalite du patient receveur. La prise en compte des transfusions repetees de concentres de globules rouges (CGR) dans la survie est un domaine methodologiquement complexe, pouvant expliquer le manque de consensus scientifique. L’objectif de notre etude etait d’analyser l’impact du sexe du donneur et de la duree de conservation sur la survie par modele flexibles de type « Weighted Cumulative Exposure » (WCE) et de comparer les resultats au modele de Cox. Materiel et methodes Cette etude de survie a ete reali…
Effects of red blood cell transfusion on anemia-related symptoms in patients with cancer.
2009
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of red blood cell transfusion, and the subsequent increase in hemoglobin values, on anemia-related symptoms in a cohort of patients with cancer with different survival times. A red blood cell transfusion was recommended to a consecutive sample of patients with hemoglobin levels of 8 +/- 0.5 g/dL. The number of units to be ordered was decided according the hemoglobin values with a mean target of increasing the hemoglobin values by approximately 2 g/dL. Hemoglobin values, anemia-related signs and symptoms, including well-being, fatigue, and dyspnea, were recorded at admission (T0), 1 day after the last transfusion (T1), and 15 days afterward (T2…
Peri-operative red blood cell transfusion in neonates and infants: NEonate and Children audiT of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe: A prospective Europe…
2022
BACKGROUND Little is known about current clinical practice concerning peri-operative red blood cell transfusion in neonates and small infants. Guidelines suggest transfusions based on haemoglobin thresholds ranging from 8.5 to 12���g���dl-1, distinguishing between children from birth to day 7 (week 1), from day 8 to day 14 (week 2) or from day 15 (���week 3) onwards. OBJECTIVE To observe peri-operative red blood cell transfusion practice according to guidelines in relation to patient outcome. DESIGN A multicentre observational study. SETTING The NEonate-Children sTudy of Anaesthesia pRactice IN Europe (NECTARINE) trial recruited patients up to 60 weeks' postmenstrual age undergoing anaesthe…
