The authors found that 1) “low” hemoglobin thresholds were well tolerated; 2) blood transfusions were reduced by 34% (CI 24 to 45%) in the “low” hemoglobin cohorts; and 3) blood transfusions were reduced by 1.2 units (CI 0.5 to 1.8 units) in the “low” hemoglobin cohorts.
31 paź 2019 · There was no significant difference observed in the mean hemoglobin levels as the age increased. Morphologically, the majority of the patients had microcytic anemia, followed by normocytic anemia. A population-based study is recommended for further assessment of the prevalence and causes of anemias in asymptomatic elderly subjects.
The potential negative impact of a low hemoglobin level on performance status, physiology, and functional independence appears to be highest in elderly patients.
