5. TITLE OF TOPIC

“AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF ANAEMIA AND ITS

UNDERLYING CAUSES IN MEDICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.”

BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED STUDY:

6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY:

Anemia is common in critically ill patients and appears early during their intensive

care unit (ICU) course. By day 3 after ICU admission, almost 95% of patients are anemic.[1–3] The anemia in these critically ill patients persists throughout their ICU and hospital

stay, with or without red blood cell (RBC) transfusion.[3]

Delivery of oxygen to tissues depends upon hemoglobin level and tissue perfusion

by oxygenated blood; anemia will lead to a decreased capacity of oxygen transport, which

is compensated by cardiac compensatory mechanisms. In critically ill patients these

mechanisms might not be sufficient eventually resulting in tissue hypoxia and progression

to multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. The presence of anemia patients in ICU has been

associated with worse outcomes including increased lengths of stay and increased

mortality.[4]

Anemia is a hemoglobin concentration in blood that is below the expected value,

when age, gender, pregnancy and certain environmental factors, such as altitude, are taken

into account. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines anemia as a hemoglobin

<13 g/dl (hematocrit <39%) for adult males and <12 g/dl (hematocrit <36%) for adult non-

pregnant females. [5, 6] There are no universally agreed grades of severity for anemia during

critical illness.

Among the causes of anemia in the critically ill, important are sepsis (inflammation)

induced bone marrow suppression, blood loss especially gastrointestinal bleeding, blood

sampling, chronic renal failure, drug-induced hemolytic anemia, nutritional deficiencies

and worm infestation.[7,8] Anemia of critical illness is similar as anemia of Inflammation

and anemia of chronic disease as it develops acutely in states of inflammation. Anemia of

inflammation is the second most common cause of anemia after iron deficiency.[9]

A proper identification of anemia and its underlying causes in ICU patients is required

because various disorders may necessitate different diagnostic and therapeutic management

strategies. It will be helpful to select appropriate treatment options like blood transfusion,

erythropoietin therapy, and iron supplementation which influence the outcome in these

critically ill patients.

6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE Corwin et. al study in the USA examined 489 admissions to ICUs the mean hemoglobin

concentration at ICU admission was 11.0 g/dl. Almost two-thirds of patients had a

hemoglobin concentration <12 g dl at ICU admission.[3]

Vincent et. al in a cohort study of 3534 patients admitted to 146 Western European

ICUs with varying case mix found that the mean hemoglobin concentration at ICU

admission was 11.3 g/dl. Sixty-three per cent of patients had a hemoglobin concentration

<12 g/dl on ICU admission and 29% of patients had an admission hemoglobin

concentration <10 g/dl.[4]

A cohort study by Bahlas S et. al., out of the 100 patients, 82% (82 patients) were

anemic with Hb average of 10.06 + 0.28, 48 of whom had blood transfusion. Sepsis was

the most common clinical setting associated with anemia in 72% of the patients followed

by Chronic Renal Failure in 56% of the patients. The others being gastrointestinal

bleeding, hemolysis and internal hemorrhage. [9]

Anemia is common in heart failure populations, with the majority of studies indicating

prevalence >20%. In most reported studies anemia is an independent predictor of increased

mortality risk and increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure.[10]

In a prospective cohort study by N Manchal, S Jayaram causes identified for anemia in

ICU were 33% due to sepsis, 9% due to chronic kidney disease,8% each for GI bleed,

internal bleed and protozoa infections.[11]

Tanne D et. al concluded in a cohort study as WHO-defined anemia was common in both

men and women among patients with acute stroke and predicted poor outcome.[12]

Hebert et al. studied 4,470 patients Critically ill patients admitted to ICU; survivors:

(n = 3,469), non-survivors: (n = 1,001) Survivors had higher Hb levels than non-survivors.[13]

6.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY1. To study occurrence of anemia among critically ill patients and its contribution to ICU

related morbidity.

2. To study the etiological factors that contributes to anemia in critically ill patients.

7 MATERIALS AND METHODS

Medical Collage- Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research [ESIC-MC-

PGIMSR] over a period of 18 months.

7.2 METHOD OF COLLECTION OF DATA Patients satisfying inclusion criteria are enrolled within 24 hours of admission to ICU

after informed consent.

Statistical analysis: The data collected in this study will be analyzed statistically using

descriptive statistics.

INCLUSION CRITERIA:1. Patients aged above 18 years admitted under medicine department.[11]

2. Males with hemoglobin <13 g/dl (hematocrit <39%) and females with<12g/dl
