RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Since Patient blood management (PBM) suggests a bundle of measures aiming to reduce perioperative blood transfusion because preoperative anemia and blood transfusion are associated with poor postoperative outcomes. There is a lack of data on the effect of PBM in patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) or bladder tumor (TURBT). We aimed to assess the bleeding risk in TURP and TURBT procedures and the effect of preoperative anemia on postoperative morbimortality. METHODS: A single-center retrospective observational cohort study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Marseille, France. All patients undergoing TURP or TURBT were included in 2020 and divided into two groups: preoperative anemia (n = 19) and no preoperative anemia (n = 59). We recorded demographic characteristics, preoperative hemoglobin concentration, iron deficiency markers, preoperative initiation of a treatment for anemia, perioperative bleeding, and postoperative outcomes up to 30 days including blood transfusion, hospital readmission, reintervention, infection, and mortality. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. No patient had iron deficiency markers and no prescription of iron was initiated before surgery. No major bleeding was reported during surgery. Postoperative anemia was found in 21 patients, including 16 (76%) in the preoperative anemia group and 5 (24%) in the non-preoperative anemia group. One patient of each group received a blood transfusion after surgery. No significant differences in 30-day outcomes were reported. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that TURP and TURBT are not associated with a high-risk of postoperative bleeding. In such procedures, adherence PBM strategies do not seem beneficial. Since recent guidelines recommend restricting preoperative testing, our results may help to improve preoperative risk stratification.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study aimed to describe the association between the "ß-lactam allergy" labeling (BLAL) and the outcomes of a cohort of intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Retrospective cohort study.Seven ICU of the Aix Marseille University Hospitals from Marseille in France.We collected the uses of the label "ß-lactam allergy" in the electronic medical files of patients aged 18âyears or more who required more than 48âhours in the ICU with mechanical ventilation and/or vasopressors admitted to 7 ICUs of a single institution.We retrospectively compared the patients with this labeling (BLAL group) with those without this labeling (control group).The primary outcome was the duration of ICU stay. Among the 7146 patients included in the analysis, 440 and 6706 patients were classified in the BLAL group and the control group, respectively. The prevalence of BLAL was 6.2%. In univariate and multivariate analyses, BLAL was weakly or not associated with the duration of ICU and hospital stays (respectively, 6 [3-14] vs 6 [3-14] days, standardized beta -0.09, Pâ=â.046; and 18 [10-29] vs 15 [8-28] days, standardized beta -0.09, Pâ=â.344). In multivariate analysis, the ICU and 28-day mortality rates were both lower in the BLAL group than in the control group (aOR 0.79 95% CI [0.64-0.98] Pâ=â.032 and 0.79 [0.63-0.99] Pâ=â.042). Antibiotic use differed between the 2 groups, but the outcomes were similar in the subgroups of septic patients in the BLAL group and the control group.In our cohort, the labeling of a ß-lactam allergy was not associated with prolonged ICU and hospital stays. An association was found between the labeling of a ß-lactam allergy and lower ICU and 28-day mortality rates.Trial registration: Retrospectively registered.
