Association Between Anemia and Blood Transfusion With Long-term Mortality After Cardiac Surgery [1]

Submitted by erobinson [2] on Fri, 2019-09-27 10:56

Patients undergoing elective or urgent cardiac surgery who were anemic at the time of surgery were compared to a matched population who were not anemic.  Anemia was associated with increased mortality during follow-up, but blood transfusion was not associated with mortality.
