Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative intravenous (Ⅳ) iron sucrose therapy on reducing postsurgical blood transfusion rates in elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods From September 2011 to February 2014,200 patients aged≥65 years with hip fractures were enrolled.The iron sucrose group (n=100) received iron sucrose (600 mg,Ⅳ),while the control group (n=100) did not receive iron sucrose.Postsurgical blood transfusion rates,infection rates,mortality and length of hospital stay were evaluated.Results The difference in blood transfusion rates was significant (25.0％ vs.41.0％,P＜0.05),while differences in infection rates,mortality and length of hospital stay were not significant between the two groups.Conclusions Perioperative Ⅳ iron sucrose can reduce blood transfusion requirements in elderly patients with hip fractures.
