A very strict guideline reduces the number of erythrocyte transfusions in preterm infants

Background and Objectives  Benefits of adopting restrictive guidelines for erythrocyte transfusions are still controversial. The objective of this study was to verify if a very strict guideline could reduce erythrocyte transfusions in preterm infants without adverse outcomes. Materials and Methods ...

The objective of this study was to verify if a very strict guideline could reduce erythrocyte transfusions in preterm infants without adverse outcomes. Materials and Methods  Two prospective cohorts of neonates with gestational age &lt; 37 weeks and birth weight &lt; 1500 g were studied. Neonates born in Period 1 were submitted to a strict guideline for erythrocyte transfusions. In Period 2, a new stricter protocol was introduced. Infants of both periods were compared regarding number of transfusions and clinical outcome. Results  The median number of transfusions decreased from 2 (1 to 14) in Period 1 to 1 (1–9), P = 0·001, in Period 2. The linear regression multivariate analysis showed that the implementation of the stricter guideline was associated with a reduction in the number of transfusions received by patients by 0·55 (95% confidence interval: –0·08; –1·02) units/patients. Number of apnea episodes, weight at 28 days of life and days of hospital stay were similar in both periods. Intra‐hospital death was lower in Period 2. Conclusion  A very strict guideline reduced the number of erythrocyte transfusions in preterm infants, without threatening their clinical course.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0042-9007</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1423-0410</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/j.1423-0410.2008.01072.x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 18544122</identifier><identifier>CODEN: VOSAAD</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford, UK: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>anaemia ; Apnea - epidemiology ; Blood transfusions ; Cerebral Hemorrhage - epidemiology ; Clinical outcomes ; Cohort Studies ; erythrocyte transfusion ; Erythrocyte Transfusion - standards ; Erythrocyte Transfusion - utilization ; Erythrocytes ; Female ; Gestational Age ; Guideline Adherence ; Guidelines ; Hematocrit ; Hospital Mortality ; Humans ; Hypoxia - epidemiology ; Hypoxia - prevention &amp; control ; infant ; Infant, Newborn ; Infant, Premature ; Infant, Premature, Diseases - epidemiology ; Infant, Premature, Diseases - prevention &amp; control ; Infant, Premature, Diseases - therapy ; Infant, Small for Gestational Age ; Infant, Very Low Birth Weight ; Length of Stay - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Male ; Neonatal care ; newborn ; Phlebotomy - adverse effects ; Positive-Pressure Respiration - utilization ; Practice Guidelines as Topic ; premature ; Premature birth ; Prospective Studies ; red blood cells</subject><ispartof>Vox sanguinis, 2008-08, Vol.95 (2), p.106-111</ispartof><rights>2008 The Author(s).
