Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of small phlebotomy tubes to reduce RBC transfusions in medical intensive care unit (ICU) and Intermediate care unit (IMU) patients with low hemoglobin compared with standard size tubes, to compare the intervention and the control groups in regards to: ICU length of stay (LOS), ICU mortality, hospital LOS, and hospital mortality and to assess the acceptability of small phlebotomy tubes in adult ICU and IMU patients.
This Phase 1b study of DISC-0974 will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of DISC-0974 in adult participants with Non-Dialysis Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease and Anemia.
Background Blood transfusions in pregnancy are usually urgent, unpredictable, and occur in otherwise healthy women. There is evidence of increasing rates of maternal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion around childbirth both in Europe and in US. Indeed, they are recorded in approximately 0.4-1.6% of all deliveries. Although obstetric patients use a small proportion of the blood supply overall (3-4%), however over the last years there has been a significant increase (about 30%) in the use of blood and blood products throughout pregnancy. Most available data relate to the peri-partum period, defined as those occurring from 48 hours before delivery onwards. Anemia in pregnancy is associated with increased maternal mortality and fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The risk of these adverse effects is proportional to the severity of anemia; for instance, preterm birth and low birth weight rates are particularly high among women with a hemoglobin below 7 g/dL. The presence of anemia in at-term pregnant women is a rather frequent and unrecognized risk factor for peri-partum hemorrhage (PPH) transfusion. In a retrospective investigation, we have calculated that almost 20% of at-term pregnant women show iron deficiency anemia. It has been suggested that reduction of RBC transfusion in the context of PPH may decrease maternal mortality and, at the same time, reduce costs. Patient's Blood Management (PBM) is a well-known strategy based on 1) identification of anemia; 2) reduction of blood loss and 3) reduction of RBC transfusion. In several medical specialties, recommendations based on available evidence highlighted the concept that a restrictive RBC administration is safe and efficacious. Despite the fact that the WHO has recommended PBM early 2010, the majority of hospitals are in need of guidelines to apply PBM in daily practice. Rationale Anemia is a frequent and often unrecognized hallmark of at-term pregnancies. Systematic collection of data on transfusion practice during pregnancy and post-partum period are scarce. The application of PBM in obstetrics is expected to improve pregnancy outcome and optimize resources. Objectives Objectives of the present study are 1. To estimate: frequency of anemia in pregnancy and feto-maternal complications, distribution of haemorrhage aetiologies and transfusion indications. 2. To evaluate associations of these outcomes with gestational age, and transfusion dose.
The main objective of this study was to compare the results of hemoglobin levels between pregnant women in the treatment group and the control group. Participants will be subjected to anthropometric measurements, recall of food intake for 1 x 24 hours, check hemoglobin before and after being given the intervention and participants in the treatment group are given moringa leaf capsules and iron tablets while participants in the control group are only given iron tablets. Researchers will compare the final results of hemoglobin levels between the treatment group and the control group
The purpose of this study is to measure the evidence-based intervention's (EBIs) impact on patient safety and efficiency, to assess the EBIs implementation by measuring acceptability, appropriateness, cost, fidelity, penetration, and sustainability and to identify the facilitators and barriers that influence the degree of implementation of these EBIs.
The purpose of the study is to see if participants with anemia due to their type of MDS or MDS/MPN will experience a more decreased need for regular blood transfusions if they take luspatercept plus best supportive care, and what effect, good and/or bad, luspatercept has on them and their anemia due to MDS or MDS/MPN. The safety and tolerability of luspatercept will also be evaluated in this study.
This single-center study aims to evaluate the early efficacy and safety of avatrombopag combined with immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in the first-line treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA).
The prognosis of patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery is often compromised by perioperative anemia due to iron deficiency. The aim of this randomized, controlled trial was to evaluate whether postoperative ferric derisomaltose intravenous injection may improve anemia and prognosis in patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery comparing with oral iron. Participants will be randomly assigned to the treatment group (intravenous ferric derisomaltose) and the control group (oral iron). Changes in hemoglobin concentration, percentage of anemia correction, changes in iron indicators, patient quality of life, and incidence of adverse events will be analyzed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iron isomaltoside infusion.
1. Study the presence of circulating CD4+/CD28 null T lymphocytes in AIHA either Idiopathic or Secondary. 2. Role of CD4+/CD28 null T lymphocytes in monitoring response to therapy in AIHA.
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the promoting effect of pentoxifylline on anemia correction in hemodialysis patients, and involvement of the hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha. While, the secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline on inflammation, hepcidin and other markers of iron homeostasis in these patients. Participants in this trial will be selected to be age and sex ratio matched and will be randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in group I will receive their regular doses of erythropoietin stimulating agents and other routine treatments plus 400 mg pentoxifylline tablets twice daily with meals for 6 months. While, patients in group II will receive their regular doses of erythropoietin stimulating agents and other routine treatments.
