- W2023689067 abstract "Introduction: Despite the advances in modern medicine, cardiac surgery remains associated with significant amounts of blood transfusion and is responsible for nearly 20% of all transfusions in Australasia. Progressive advances in perfusion technology and perioperative supportive management have made it possible for members of the Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) religious group to undergo open cardiac operations with remarkable safety. This study systematically compares the operative mortality and early clinical outcome after cardiac surgery in JWs. Methods and materials: Data was obtained from the cardiac surgery and intensive care unit databases from January 2002 to December 2005. A total of 5353 patients who underwent cardiac surgical procedures including coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass (n = 4041) and valvular heart surgery (n = 2287) were assessed in this study. Of the 5353 patients 49 patients refused blood and blood products because of their religious beliefs. Models were constructed to determine the association between JWs and non-JWs and three outcomes: (1) operative mortality, (2) postoperative variables and (3) length of stay in intensive care unit. Propensity scores were computed from these models and used to match JWs with non-JWs. Results: There were minimal differences in the baseline patient demographic characteristics between the two groups. Haemoglobin and haematocrit levels were higher in JWs both before (13.7 g/dL vs 12.8 g/dL; P = 0.01, and 40.0% vs 39.2%; P = 0.08) and after (10.8 g/dL vs 9.9 g/dL; P = .003, and 34.0% vs 30.9%; P = .001) surgery. Jehovah's Witnesses experienced significantly less bleeding, almost half compared to the control group, with P < 0.001. No differences were found in the adjusted and unadjusted operative mortality or intensive care unit and postoperative length of stay between the two groups. Conclusion: This study concurs with the international published data that outcomes for JW patients who undergo cardiac surgery are similar to those who receive transfusion. Every appropriate opportunity to reduce the use of allogeneic blood products.
