About this study

Official title: Restrictive Versus Liberal Transfusion for Elective Major Surgery and Perioperative Outcomes: Mortality, Morbidity and Requirement of Postoperative Blood Transfusion

Investigators aimed to compare the restrictive and liberal blood transfusion methods applied in major surgical operations performed in Anesthesiology and Reanimation Clinic and investigate their effects on postoperative transfusion needs, morbidity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

The test subjects consisted of 892 patients, who belong to ASA (American society of Anesthesiology) I -IV groups, underwent elective major surgery between the 01/01/2016-31/12/2016, and are over the age of 18 years. The demographic data (Age, sex, ASA (American society of Anesthesiology) scors, surgery type) were also recorded. we evaluated the value of Hemoglobin, platelet, APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time), INR (international normalized ratio) preoperatively and postoperatively. In this study, restrictive and liberal blood transfusion groups were investigated.restrictive and liberal transfusion hemoglobin threshold value respectively before perioperative transfusion was 8 g / dL. were defined as restrictive blood transfusion group and perioperative transfusion was over 8 g / dL were defined as liberal blood transfusion group. Adverse events (tachycardia, hypotension, the value of lactate and metabolic acidosis). Postoperatively, the amount of postoperative transfusion unit, duration of hospital stay, requirement of intensive care unit and mortality rate.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • restrictive and liberal transfusionOther

    hemoglobin threshold value was accepted 8g/dl. restrictive blood transfusion group was defined that if perioperative transfusion was started equal or under hemoglobin level 8 g / dL. Liberal blood transfusion group was defined as perioperative transfusion was started over hemoglobin level 8 g / dL .

Receives: Other: restrictive and liberal transfusion

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Restrictive or Liberal transfusion

    It is determined how many units of RBC (red blood cell ) used during major operations at the hospital in liberal transfusion group or restrictive transfusion group.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mortality

    Survival ratios between the restrictive transfusion group and the liberal transfusion group are compared.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. Postoperative transfusion requirement

    The requirement of postoperative blood transfusion between the restrictive transfusion group and the liberal transfusion group is determined.

    Measured: 52 Weeks

  3. The Need of ICU

    The need of ICU between the restrictive transfusion group and the liberal transfusion group of patients is determined.

    Measured: 52 Weeks

  4. Postoperative Duration of Stay in Hospital of patients

    The postoperative duration of stay in hospital of patients between the restrictive transfusion group and the liberal transfusion group are compared.

    Measured: 52 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transfusion Related Complication, run by Leyla Kılınc at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Restrictive or Liberal transfusion (time frame: 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03394274, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
