Despite numerous available antiemetics, chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) still affects many patients, and CINV related hospitalizations and costs often result. PrecisionQ analyzed its database to evaluate CINV related hospitalizations and costs following antiemetics use including netupitant/fosnetupitant with palonosetron (NEPA), aprepitant/fosaprepitant with ondansetron (APON) or aprepitant/fosaprepitant with palonosetron (APPA) in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. Database analysis identified 15,583 patient records (807 NEPA, 2023 APON, 12,753 APPA) and mean CINV related hospitalization costs were lower across all patients receiving NEPA (US$301) compared with patients receiving APON ($1006, p < 0.0001) or APPA ($321, p < 0.0001). NEPA is associated with lower CINV related hospitalization costs compared with APON and APPA among patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.

Goal-directed administration of blood components including red cells, platelets, plasma, and factor concentrates plays a critical role in the management of intraoperative coagulopathy. Increasingly commonly used, purified and recombinant factor concentrates are being recognized for their logistical advantages and potentially superior efficacy. Three- and four-factor prothrombin concentrates, fibrinogen concentrates and activated factor VII have an evolving evidence base relative to frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate.

Preoperative anemia affects one-third of patients undergoing major surgery and is associated with worse perioperative and postoperative outcomes; including length of hospital stay, allogeneic blood transfusion, morbidity, and mortality. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia, and associative data suggests that preoperative correction of iron deficiency anemia could improve postoperative patient outcomes. However, data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) do not appear to support the routine use of iron therapy to treat preoperative anemia.

Patients with cancer who receive allogeneic red blood cell transfusions are at risk of adverse reactions of varying severity. One of these reactions is immunomodulation, also known as transfusion-related immunomodulation. With the exact mechanism of transfusion related immunomodulation being unclear, storage lesions (both the cellular and cytokine component) are considered a major contributor.

Postoperative anaemia is common among surgical patients. While often viewed as a benign condition, postoperative anaemia is neither inevitable nor harmless, being intricately linked with adverse outcomes. In this review, we summarize the prevalence, aetiology, and outcomes of postoperative anaemia and highlight prevention and management strategies.
