Association of admission hematocrit with 6-month and 1-year mortality in intensive care unit patients

BACKGROUND: This study examined the association of hematocrit (Hct) levels measured upon intensive care unit (ICU) admission and red blood cell transfusions to long‐term (1‐year or 180‐day) mortality for both surgical and medical patients. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Administrative and laboratory data...

Zusammenfassung:	BACKGROUND: This study examined the association of hematocrit (Hct) levels measured upon intensive care unit (ICU) admission and red blood cell transfusions to long‐term (1‐year or 180‐day) mortality for both surgical and medical patients. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Administrative and laboratory data were collected retrospectively on 2393 consecutive medical and surgical male patients admitted to the ICU between 2003 and 2009. We stratified patients based on their median Hct level during the first 24 hours of their ICU stay (Hct
