Practical Anemia Bundle and Hemoglobin Recovery in Critical Illness: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Anemia is a common complication of surgery and acute illness that is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The role of anemia prevention and treatment strategies in this setting remains unclear.

Objective

To evaluate the effect of a multifaceted anemia management bundle vs standard care on posthospitalization hemoglobin recovery and multidimensional functional outcomes in survivors of acute illness.
