Supports transfusion preparedness in emergency cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating for targeted bleeding mitigation strategies.
Cohort (n=343)
p-value: p=0.0001
Identifies key risk factors for perioperative bleeding and transfusion in cardiac surgery, highlighting emergency surgery and specific procedural factors as high-risk indicators.
Liu et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery (n=343). Risk factors for bleeding and transfusion (e.g., emergency surgery, CPB time) was evaluated on Postoperative bleeding and perioperative homologous blood transfusions (p=0.0001). Emergency cardiac surgery was associated with significantly more blood transfusions (p=0.0001) in a cohort of 343 patients, with an overall homologous blood transfusion incidence of 58.9%.
