PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF ANEMIC SYNDROME IN SURGICAL PATIENTS WITH ELECTIVE SURGERY (REVIEW OF LITERATURE)

Anemic syndrome is a common pre-existing phenomenon among patients who are admitted to surgical hospitals for the purpose of elective surgery. The overall prevalence of it in the population increases with age, and in the elderly (>65 years), according to the data of World Health Organization, on average, reaches 11% and 10.2% for men and women, respectively. Thus, previously undiagnosed anemia is often found in patients who undergo elective surgery. Negative prognostic value of anemia for such patients is shown in a large number of foreign and a number of Russian studies. This review focuses on the effect of anemia on the prognosis of planned operations in patients with various surgical profiles. The review also considers the current state of the issue of correction of anemia and the effect of blood transfusions on the prognosis in these patients. The international consensus and recommendations for implementing the «patient blood management» strategy in surgical practice are discussed, which will reduce costs and improve the results of surgical intervention.
