Objective: Anemia is a common complication associated with adverse outcomes in older patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). They also tend to experience malnutrition, which can affect the course of anemia. We hypothesized that the optimal hemoglobin (Hb) level varies depending on nutritional status in older patients undergoing HD and aimed to investigate the association between Hb levels and mortality according to nutritional status.

Purpose: Optimal management of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) often requires extensive tumor resections, frequently involving gastrointestinal organs. The impact of these procedures on the nutritional status and hemoglobin (Hb) levels of RPS patients remain unexplored. In this study, we aimed to evaluate preoperative nutritional status as well as the prevalence of anemia in RPS patients, and to investigate longitudinal changes throughout the disease course in order to identify potential strategies for prehabilitation.

» Anemia is a common comorbidity in orthopaedic trauma patients with important clinical consequences, significantly negatively affecting a patient's course following orthopaedic trauma.» Anemia remains relatively understudied in the orthopaedic trauma population with a large amount of current literature focused solely on geriatric hip fracture patients.» Greater investigation into alternatives to blood transfusions such as iron therapy or cell salvaging for treatment of anemia in the orthopaedic trauma population is needed.
