  13. Risks of Anemia

  14. Anemia in CVD • Hgb =  Mortality in CVD Carson/Gould – 300 Pts with Hgb <8 gm/dL - Stratified Carson JL et al, Lancet 1996;348:1055-60 • Hgb < 9.5 g/dL = high risk with CVD • Hebert PC at al, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1997;155:1618-23 • Hgb < 7.0 g/dL acceptable with normal coronary circulation

  15. Low Hct and Adverse Outcome • Lowest CPB HCT of <14% in low risk patients and <17% in high risk patients associated with doubling of mortality risk (Fang WC, Circulation 1997) • Below 23%, CPB HCT is inversely related to mortality (Defoe GR, Ann Thorac Surg 2001) • In postop cardiac surgical pts, inverse relationship exists between hemoglobin and major morbidity (Hardy JF, Br J Anaesth 1998) • Perioperative vital organ dysfunction, short- and intermediate-term mortality increased with lowest HCT <22% (Habib RH, J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2003)

  16. Blood transfusion in Elderly Patients with Acute Myocardial InfarctionWu WC et al, NEJM 2001;345:1230-36 • Cooperative Cardiovascular Project • 234,769 total patients 78,974 (33.6%) included • CMS ICD-9 discharge code for MI and anemia • Anemia – WHO definition Hct of 39% or less • Hct in the first 24 hrs • 30 day mortality • 3324 (4.2%) had Hct less than 30% • These patients had more trauma, surgery, internal bleeding, coexisting diseases, DNR, shock and less treatments (β blockers ASA etc.) • 3680 (4.7%) of the cohort received transfusions

  17. Low Hct and Adverse Outcome • Retrospective database reviews • These studies did not assess impact of transfusion or preoperative hematocrit • Lowest HCT groups were transfused at a significantly higher rate • Prospective, randomized trial results supporting these conclusions not available

  18. Risks of Blood Transfusions

  19. Blood Transfusion:The Global Picture • >82,000,000 units donated per annum world wide • In the US, ~12,500,000 units of RBCs transfused • That’s one unit every 25 seconds! WHO 2003

  20. Risk and Prevention ofBloodborne Diseases • 43% of WHO participating countries (191) test their blood for • HIV • HCV • HBV • 13,000,000 units per annum are not tested! • 20% of the world’s population uses 80% of the safe blood supply WHO 2003

  21. Risks Associated With Blood Transfusions • Clerical error • Transfusion reactions • Viral/bacterial infection • Immunomodulation DHHS Jan, 2002

  25. Potential Risks to the Blood supply • Simian Foamy Virus (SFV) • West Nile virus • vCJD • Trypanosoma Cruzi

  26. TRALI • 1:2000 transfused patients • FDA reports as the third most prevalent transfusion related mortality, after hemolysis and sepsis • Associated with: whole blood, RBC, platelets, FFP and cryo. • CHF – ARDS, fleeting or devastating • Two prominent theories • HLA class I and possible II, and monocyte antigens • 20% of women with multiple gestations carry class I antigens • Mixture of predisposition and infusion of blood related lipid derived mediators

  27. Risks of Allogeneic Blood ‘TRIM’ Transfusion Related Immune Modulation

  28. Immune Effects of Blood • Immunologic effects of autologous/allogenic blood Tx • Decreased T-cell proliferation • Decreased CD3, CD4, CD8 T-cells • Increased soluble cytokine receptor • sTNF-R, sIL-2R • Increased serum neopterin • Increased cell-mediated lympholysis • Increased TNF-alfa • Increased suppressor T-cell activity • Reduced natural killer cell activity McAlister FA et al, Br J Surg 1998;85:171-8. Innerhofer P et al, Transfusion 1999;39:1089-96.

  29. Immune modulation • Allogeneic transfusion may enhance tumor recurrence following colorectal cancer resection (Heiss MM, J Clin Oncol 1994) • Allogeneic transfusion is associated with prolonged hospital LOS (Vamvakas EC, Transfusion 2000) • Allogeneic transfusion is associated with increased risk of bacterial infection (35%) and pneumonia (52%) (Carson JL, Transfusion 1999) • Length of storage of transfused RBCs was associated with postoperative pneumonia following CABG surgery, 5% per unit (Vamvakas EC, Transfusion 1999)

  30. Donor Leukocytes • Persistence of donor WBCs in trauma patients for up to 1.5 years after an allogeneic blood transfusion • ‘Survival of donor leukocyte subpopulations in immunocompetent transfusion recipients: frequent long-term microchimerism in severe trauma patients’ • 2 x 109 WBCs in one unit of packed red blood cells • 1 x 108 WBCs – centrifuged, buffy coat depleted • 1–5 x 106 WBCs – leukocyte filter, leukocyte-depleted Lee TH et al, Blood 1999;93:3127–3139

  31. Mortality Rates Are Lower When Leukocyte-Reduced Blood Is Used n=914 Bc=306 Ff=305 Sc=303 7.8% Mortality Rate (%) 3.3% Leukocyte reduction results in a significant reduction of mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery van de Watering LMG et al, Circulation 1998;97:562–568

  32. Men = 704 (49.4%) Age = 69.4 (39.8, 84.3) Surgical pts. (62%) Non-surg. pts. 542 (38%) Men = 675 (49.8%) Age = 69.6 (42.0, 84) Surgical pts. (60.5%) Non-surg. pts. 535 (39.5%) A prospective, randomized clinical trial of universal WBC reduction Leukoreduced Control No demographic differences between groups N=2780 Dzik WH et al, Transfusion 2002;42:1114-22.

  33. In-hospital death 121 (8.5%) LOS from the first transfusion avg. 10.6 days+ 14.5 Total hospital cost avg. $29,800+ $33.2K median = $19,500) Nonprophylactic antibiotic use after transfusion (days) 5.1 In-hospital death 122 (9.0%) LOS from the first transfusion avg. 10.3 days+ 13.7 Total hospital cost avg. $29,000+ $34K (median = $19,200) Nonprophylactic antibiotic use after transfusion (days) 4.5 Primary outcomes Leukoreduced Control Dzik WH et al, Transfusion 2002;42:1114-22.

  34. The Impact of PRBCs on Nosocomial Infection Rates in ICU • Retrospective database study of 1,717 patients using Project IMPACT • NI rates of 3 groups were compared: • Entire cohort • Transfusion group • Nontransfusion group • Patients stratified for age, gender, and probability of survival using Mortality Prediction Model (MPM-0) scores Taylor RW et al, Crit Care Med 2002;30:1-6.

  35. Nosocomial Infection Rates in Critically Ill Patients For each unit of PRBCs given, the odds of infection is increased by a factor of 1.5 P < .05 N = 1,717 n = 416 n = 1,301 Adjusted for severity of illness using MPM-0 scores, age, gender (Project IMPACT). Taylor RW et al, Crit Care Med 2002;30:2249-54.

  36. Mortality Rates in Critically Ill Patients P < .05 N = 1,717 n = 416 n = 1,301 Taylor RW et al, Crit Care Med 2002;30:2249-54.

  37. Transfusion and Outcome • Retrospective, database study of long-term outcome in 1,915 patients after primary CABG • Excluded for death within 30 days of surgery • 546 patients transfused during hospitalization were matched by propensity score (age, gender, size, LOS, perfusion time and STS risk) with patients not transfused and 5-year mortality compared • 5-year mortality twice as high in transfused patients • After correction for comorbidity, 5-year mortality remained 70%higher in transfused group (p<0.001) Engoren et al, Ann Thorac Surg 2002;74:1180-6

  38. Univariate association rates of stroke and death in CABG with platelet transfusion N=1720/248 from 6 RCT for Aprotinin FDA approval Patients (%) DEATH STROKE Spiess BD et al, Transfusion 2004;44:1143-1148
