Article Synopsis
- This study examined how well Patient Blood Management (PBM) strategies are followed in treating patients with gastrointestinal bleeding across multiple hospitals in a nationwide setting from March 2019 to March 2021.
- A total of 450 patients were studied, showing high adherence rates of 90.9% for transfusions and 81.8% for iron supplementation, which correlated with better outcomes such as lower mortality risk.
- Overall, the research suggests that strict adherence to PBM strategies is safe and improves treatment results for patients suffering from GI bleeding.
Introduction: exposure to ionizing radiation is associated with an increased risk of developing tumors. Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) usually require multiple imaging tests using this type of radiation.
Objectives: the objectives of this study were to estimate the total dose of ionizing radiation received by patients with Crohn's disease during their course and to identify the factors associated with higher radiation doses.
