Popis: International audience; Background: In orthopedic surgery, a patient blood management program (PBM) has been proposed to reduce blood transfusion. The aim of this observational study was to assess, within a PBM, the specific efficacy of preoperative erythropoietin (EPO).Study design and methods: In a single hospital, 723 patients undergoing elective primary hip or knee arthroplasty were prospectively studied. The PBM included EPO if preoperative hemoglobin was lower than 13 g/dL, intraoperative administration of tranexamic acid, use of recommended transfusion thresholds, and postoperative infusion of iron. Blood transfusion and hemoglobin were noted until discharge. Major thromboembolic or cardiovascular events were assessed during admission and 1 month after discharge.Results: Transfusion was noted in 2.5% patients with EPO. Transfusion rate was higher in patient for whom EPO was not indicated (13.6% transfusion rate; odds ratio [OR], 13.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6-66; p = 10-3 ) or if erythropoietin was indicated but not administrated (36.8% transfusion rate; OR, 18.2; 95% CI, 3.9-84.5; p < 10-3 ). Hemoglobin was significantly higher during the postoperative period in patients with erythropoietin. At hospital discharge, 57% of patients were anemic if EPO was used compared to 88% when EPO was not indicated and 87% when EPO was indicated but not administered (p < 10-6 ). There were no significant differences in the odds of major complications between patients with or without EPO.Conclusions: Within a PBM, preoperative treatment of anemia with EPO decreased both the rate of blood transfusion and postoperative anemia. Further studies are necessary to confirm these results.
