Gender differences in blood transfusion strategy for patients with hip fractures - a retrospective analysis.
Conclusion: Over the course of five years, a restrictive transfusion strategy was implemented within clinical practice in patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures. In parallel, a significant reduction in the hospital LOS and an increased ICU LOS was noted. Whether there is an association between increased ICU LOS and decreasing hospital LOS and whether there is a gender effect on transfusion requirements in patients with surgery for hip fractures should be subject to further research.
