Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about the costs that occur when participants with severe anemia are treated with blood transfusions or with patient blood management (PBM). PBM means that the body of the participant is stimulated to produce new blood by itself rather than receiving it from a blood donor, and to reduce blood losses. The main question the study aims to answer is: Do participants treated with transfusions incur the same treatment costs than participants treated with PBM? And how much costs are this in relation to the lives saved by the therapy of severe anemia?
The goal of this observational cohort study is to compare patients with very low red blood counts who receive different therapy. Its main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Which group of patients dies more frequent: Patients who receive patient blood management only, patients who receive patient blood management and transfusions or patients who receive only transfusions? - Among these groups: which group of patients has more complications during hospital stay? Patients will either receive patient blood management, which is the management of anemia, bleeding and coagulation problems, will receive transfusions, that is, blood from other people, or a mix of both.
