- W1995035324 abstract "To determine the effect of transfusion on hematologic recovery and mortality among severely anemic children during and after hospitalization in rural Kenya.Prospective cohort.We collected clinical and laboratory information on all severely anemic children (hemoglobin < 5.0 g/dl) and a 33% sample of children with hemoglobin < or = 5.0 g/dl who were admitted to the pediatric ward of a rural Kenyan hospital during a 6 month study period. Children were followed during hospitalization and at 4 and 8 weeks after admission.Overall, 303 (25%) of the 1223 hospitalized children had hemoglobin < 5.0 g/dl, 30% of whom died during the study period. Severely anemic children who were transfused had a higher mean hemoglobin level at discharge (9.0 g/dl) than non-transfused children (5.8 g/dl, P < 0.001) and maintained a higher mean hemoglobin during the 8-week follow-up period. However, the presence of malaria parasitemia on follow-up negated the benefit of transfusion on hematologic recovery at both 4- and 8-week visits (longitudinal linear model, least square means, P > 0.05). Transfusion was associated with improved survival among children with respiratory distress who received transfusions within the first 2 days of hospitalization.The use of transfusion can be improved by targeting use of blood to severely anemic children with cardiorespiratory compromise, improving immediate availability of blood, and treating severely anemic children with effective antimalarial therapy.The effect of blood transfusion on hematologic recovery and mortality both during and after hospitalization was investigated in a survey of children admitted to Siaya District Hospital (Kenya) in a 6-month period in 1991 with hemoglobin under 5.0 g/dl (n = 303) or 5.0 g/dl and above (n = 303). Children with hemoglobin under 5.0 g/dl (severe anemia) were younger and more likely to have malaria parasitemia and respiratory compromise than controls. 88 severely anemic children (30%) died during the study period. Severely anemic children who were transfused had a higher mean hemoglobin level at discharge (9.0 g/dl) than nontransfused children (5.8 g/dl) and maintained a higher mean hemoglobin in the 8-week post-discharge follow-up period. 15% of transfused and 17% of nontransfused children died after hospital discharge. Transfusion was associated with significantly improved survival among children with respiratory distress who were transfused within 2 days of hospital admission. However, the presence of malaria or parasitemia at follow-up negated the benefit of transfusion on hematologic recovery. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of transfusion can be enhanced by targeting severely anemic children with cardiorespiratory compromise, improving immediate access to blood, and effective antimalarial therapy. In addition, more information is needed on the causes of death among anemic children and the prevention of severe anemia." @default.
