Effect of a Patient Blood Management Program on the Appropriateness of Red Blood Cell Transfusion and Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundElderly patients with hip fractures frequently receive perioperative transfusions, which are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a patient blood management (PBM) program on the appropriateness of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and clinical outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
methodsIn 2018, the revised PBM program was implemented at the Korea University Anam Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent hip fracture surgery from 2017 to 2020 were evaluated. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were analyzed according to the timing of PBM implementation (pre-PBM, early-PBM, and late-PBM). Multiveriate regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors of the adverse outcomes, such as in-hospital mortality or 30-day readmission.
resultsA total of 884 elderly patients were included in this study. The proportion of patients who received perioperative RBC transfusions decreased significantly (43.5%, 40.1%, and 33.2% for pre-PBM, early-PBM, and late-PBM, respectively;
conclusionImplementing the PBM program increased the appropriateness of RBC transfusion without compromising transfusion quality and clinical outcomes. Therefore, adopting the PBM program may improve the clinical management of elderly patients following hip fracture surgery.
