Impact of anemia requiring transfusion or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents on new-onset cardiovascular events and mortality after continuous renal replacement therapy.

ABSTRACT: Anemia is common in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We investigated the impact of anemia requiring red blood cell (RBC) transfusion or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) on patient outcomes after hospital discharge in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring CRRT. In this retrospective cohort study using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment database of South Korea, 10,923 adult patients who received CRRT for 3 days or more between 2010 and 2019 and discharged alive were included. Anemia was defined as the need for RBC transfusion or ESAs. Outcomes included cardiovascular events (CVEs) and all-cause mortality after discharge. The anemia group showed a tendency to be older with more females and had more comor
