Article Synopsis
- The study explored how severe anemia impacts hospital readmission rates and length of stay (LOS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5.
- Patients with severe anemia had a significantly longer hospital stay (mean LOS of 6.4 days) compared to those without severe anemia (mean LOS of 4.5 days), but there was no significant difference in readmission rates.
- The research suggests that managing anemia in patients with CKD could improve hospital outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
