Tóm tắt

   Background: Preoperative anemia is a common condition affecting approximately one-third of patients and is associated with an increased risk of blood transfusion, prolonged hospital stay, and higher postoperative mortality. In thoracic surgery, preoperative anemia has been shown to increase the risk of mortality by 1.6 times compared to patients without anemia. This study aims to determine the prevalence of anemia before thoracic surgery and its association with postoperative adverse events.

   Method: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted on 54 patients who underwent elective thoracic surgery at Binh Dan Hospital from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.

   Results: The prevalence of preoperative anemia in thoracic surgery was 39%, with all cases classified as mild anemia. Patients with anemia experienced significantly longer hospital stays compared to those without anemia (p<0.05). The study did not identify any significant increase in other adverse outcomes in anemic patients compared to non-anemic patients (p>0.05).

   Conclusions: Preoperative anemia in thoracic surgery accounted for 39% of cases and was significantly associated with prolonged hospitalization.
