Clinical Question: Does intravenous iron given to anaemic patients (haemoglobin [Hb] <130 g/L for men and 120 g/L for women) before major elective open abdominal surgery reduce the need for blood transfusions or death within 30 days of surgery?

Evidence From Trial: There were no significant differences in the rates of blood transfusion or death at 30 days after the index operation between anaemic patients who received intravenous iron preoperatively and those who did not.

Department of Medicine and Nephrology, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Mexico City, Mexico.

Background And Hypothesis: Daprodustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, is approved for treatment of anemia in dialysis patients with CKD in some parts of the world. This subgroup analysis examined the efficacy and safety of daprodustat versus darbepoetin alfa in patients with anemia of CKD undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Methods: ASCEND-D (NCT02879305) was an open-label, Phase 3 trial; patients with CKD were randomized to daprodustat daily and epoetin alfa (HD patients) or darbepoetin alfa (PD patients).
