Evaluating Preoperative Intravenous Iron and Erythropoietin Treatment and Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Infection (P = 0.258), mortality rate (P = 0.440), and RBC utilization (P = 0.469) in the two groups of injection and non-injection were not significantly different.PMID:37645003 | PMC:PMC10461381 | DOI:10.5812/aapm-130899

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding associated with oral anticoagulants
CONCLUSIONS: LAAC could be a safe and effective alternative to OAC in patients with non-valvular AF presenting significant, recurrent or potentially unresolvable GIB. This intervention also leads to important savings in the consumption of healthcare resources.PMID:37489111 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2239973

Pharmacological interventions for the prevention of bleeding in people undergoing definitive fixation or joint replacement for  hip, pelvic and long bone fractures
CONCLUSIONS: We cannot draw conclusions from the current evidence due to lack of data. Most published studies included in our analyses assessed the use of tranexamic acid (compared to placebo, or using different routes of administration). We identified 27 prospectively registered ongoing RCTs (total target recruitment of 4177 participants by end of 2023). The ongoing trials create six new comparisons: tranexamic acid (tablet + injection) versus placebo; intravenous tranexamic acid versus oral tranexamic acid; topical tranexamic acid versus oral tranexamic acid; different intravenous tranexamic acid dosing regimes; topical ...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 3849: Association between Anemia Severity and Ischemic Stroke Incidence: A Retrospective Cohort Study
i Chien Stroke patients presenting with anemia at the time of stroke onset had a higher risk of mortality and development of other cardiovascular diseases and comorbidities. The association between the severity of anemia and the risk of developing a stroke is still uncertain. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between stroke incidence and anemia severity (by WHO criteria). A total of 71,787 patients were included, of whom 16,708 (23.27%) were identified as anemic and 55,079 patients were anemia-free. Female patients (62.98%) were more likely to have anemia than males (37.02%). The likelihood of ...

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease: a network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The comparative effects of different ESAs on blood transfusions, death (any cause and cardiovascular), major cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular access thrombosis, kidney failure, fatigue and breathlessness were uncertain.PMID:36791280 | PMC:PMC9924302 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD010590.pub3

Neurovascular Manifestations of Iron-Deficient Anemia: Narrative Review and Practical Reflections through a Teaching Case
Conclusions: IDA is a common but treatable condition that, independently or synergically, may increase the risk of thrombotic events. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach has not yet been defined, and each case should be individually addressed in a pragmatic clinical road map.PMID:36294407 | DOI:10.3390/jcm11206088

Primary stroke prevention in children with sickle cell anemia living in africa: the false choice between patient-oriented research and humanitarian service-part ii
Trans Am Clin Climatol Assoc. 2022;132:236-248.ABSTRACTIn the United States, primary stroke prevention in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the standard of care and includes annual transcranial Doppler ultrasound to detect elevated velocities. For children with velocities ≥200 cm/sec, initial monthly blood transfusion therapy for at least a year, followed by the option of hydroxyurea therapy, results in a significant decline in the stroke rate. In Africa, no prior strategy exists for primary stroke prevention because regular blood transfusion therapy is not feasible. We completed a randomized controlled trial for...
