Comparative efficacy of liberal and restrictive blood transfusion strategies in anemic patients with acute myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) poses a significant global health burden, warranting meticulous management strategies, particularly in patients with concurrent anemia. Blood transfusion strategies play a pivotal role in optimizing oxygen delivery while minimizing transfusion-related risks. Two contrasting approaches, liberal and restrictive transfusion strategies, have emerged, yet their comparative effectiveness remains uncertain due to conflicting evidence.
