Diagnostic Blood Loss From Phlebotomy and Hospital-Acquired Anemia (HAA) During Acute Myocardial Infarction • N= 17 676 patients with AMI from 57 US hospitals - AMI database ( Jan 2000- Dec 2008) • Moderate to severe HAA developed in 3551 patients (20%). • The mean (SD) phlebotomy volume was higher : • HAA (173.8 [139.3] mL) vs those without HAA (83.5 [52.0 mL]; P < .001) • There was significant variation in the mean diagnostic blood loss across hospitals • For every 50 mL of blood drawn, the risk of moderate to severe HAA increased by 18% (relative risk [RR], 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-1.22) • Blood loss from \phlebotomy is independently associated with the development of HAA.

Key Conclusions • Anemia definition: • Abide by WHO definitions • Prevalence of anemia high in hospitalized populations • Anemia is associated with worse outcome • Survival, morbidity, hospital LOS • Anemia is a modifiable risk of (for) transfusion • Hospital-acquired anemia (new or exacerbated) is often: • Overlooked, under-attended, under-appreciated • Likely to further worsen outcomes
Key Questions NATA Guidelines Goodnough LT et al. Br J Anaesth. 2011 • What is recommended to detect anemia in patients? • What diagnostic tests are best suited for evaluation of anemia? • What to do in special populations?
Key Recommendations • In general: • NATA guidelines Importance of pre-admission screening/diagnosis • Diagnostic tests: • CBC Anemia Yes/No • TSAT (cut-off 20%) ID Yes/No • Once IDA diagnosis is established Iron • Oral – Barriers: • 2-4 mg absorbed per day • Adherence – (Compliance) • IV Iron Dextran - Barriers: • Test dose – crash cart • Reimbursement • Infusion clinics • If TSAT>20% • Retic Hb concentration • % hypochromic retics • Iron • GI evaluation
Key Recommendations • Surgical patients • Elective: NATA guidelines in general • Screening • CBC • TSAT • Treatment • Iron • Cardiac/CABG: • Also follow STS guidelines
Key Recommendations • Hospitalized Patients • HAA • Screen on admission - • Iron sat at discharge; follow same algorithm • Utilization review/oversight of unnecessary/redundant tests • Small volume/peds tubes • Minimize standing orders for diagnostic testing
Key Recommendations • Elderly – high prevalence with associated adverse outcomes • Detection – annual CBC • Need for endorsement by CMS? • Evaluation - same algorithm • Iron therapy if TSAT<20%
Key Recommendations • Women • Pre-natal care (ACOG guidelines lacking?) • Intolerance to prenatal vitamins/oral iron • Opportunity for other supplemental therapies • Post-Partum • Discharge Iron Rx • TSAT<20%: IV Iron • Need for clinical trials • Dysfunctional uterine bleeding • IV Iron Rx
Key Recommendations • Oncology patients undergoing cancer treatment • Detection: CBC • Evaluation: TSAT screening for every patient • Treatment – algorithm • ESA patients • Give IV iron independent of baseline TSAT for optimal dose response • European published guidelines recommend treatment based on Sx • Early intervention when Hb<11.5 vs. Hb<10
Key Recommendations • Congestive heart failure: • Detection – CBC (Esp NYHA class II and III) • Evaluation TSAT <20% vs. >20% • Management : algorithm • Coronary syndrome: • ~30% have hgb< 11; ~20% have hgb<10 • Detection – CBC • Evaluation - TSAT • Management – algorithm
Key Recommendations • Cerebrovascular accidents Same approach • Respiratory diseases Same approach • Critically ill: • Oxidative stress models • Same approach • Exception: • Not for overtly septic patients. • For patients with uncontrollable infections – watchful waiting
Need for More Research • Impact on improved clinical outcomes • Management in geriatrics with anemia • Adverse events and role of premedication • Importance of anemia
