Use of preoperative erythropoietin‐stimulating agents is associated with decreased thrombotic adverse events compared to red blood cell transfusion in surgical patients with anaemia
Compared with surgical patients who were transfused RBCs, ESA recipients had reduced 30-day post-operative risk of mortality, VTE, PE and DIC and increased haemoglobin levels. IV iron given with ESAs improved mortality.
