Abstract

Background: Preoperative anemia is common and associated with adverse outcomes in surgical patients. There is limited information to guide the design and implementation of preoperative anemia clinics (PAC), which represents a critical barrier to entry for many practices.

Methods: This is a descriptive observational study highlighting the design and implementation of a multidisciplinary PAC, including key steps in planning, stakeholder engagement, organizational structure, identification of target populations, establishing anemia treatments, information technology and electronic health record integration, provider training, and data infrastructure. Demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory results, and anemia treatments for individuals evaluated in the PAC from November 4, 2019 through September 15, 2023 are enumerated. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) assessing changes in anemia symptoms and well-being after surgery are evaluated for 2 subsets of patients (one before PAC implementation [pre-PAC], another after PAC implementation [post-PAC]), without formal statistical comparison given limited sample sizes.

Results: The PAC was initiated as a multidisciplinary effort under support from a Mayo Clinic Practice Transformation Award in 2019, including broad representation from anesthesiology, surgery, and medical practices, along with institutional project management support (eg, project manager, information technologists, systems engineers). While initially limited to cardiac surgery patients, the PAC underwent planned incremental expansion to include other surgical services. Over the study period, 1188 PAC consultations across 1159 unique patients met eligibility criteria, with a median age of 66 (57-73) years and 58.1% women. The most common etiology of anemia was iron deficiency (69.1%) followed by anemia related to cancer (17.3%). Anemia-directed therapies were recommended in 1038 (87.4%) encounters, with 730 (70.3%) of those receiving recommended treatment preoperatively. Seven hundred nine (97.1%) treatments included intravenous iron and 146 (20.0%) included erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. Fifteen pre-PAC and 38 post-PAC implementation patients completed PROs. PAC implementation was accompanied by earlier resolution of anemia symptoms and less pronounced declines in postoperative well-being scores.

Conclusions: This report highlights the key steps for successful PAC implementation. Treatment is possible for most patients and may be accompanied by improvements in patient-important outcomes.

背景:术前贫血很常见,并与手术患者的不良预后有关。用于指导术前贫血门诊(PAC)设计和实施的信息非常有限,这对许多医疗机构来说是一个关键的准入门槛:这是一项描述性观察研究,重点介绍了多学科 PAC 的设计和实施,包括规划、利益相关者参与、组织结构、目标人群确定、贫血治疗建立、信息技术和电子病历整合、提供者培训和数据基础设施等关键步骤。本文列举了从 2019 年 11 月 4 日到 2023 年 9 月 15 日接受 PAC 评估的个人的人口统计学和临床特征、实验室结果以及贫血治疗方法。在样本量有限的情况下,对 2 个患者子集(一个在 PAC 实施前[pre-PAC],另一个在 PAC 实施后[post-PAC])的患者报告结果(PROs)进行了评估,以评估贫血症状的变化和术后的健康状况:PAC 是在 2019 年梅奥诊所实践转型奖的支持下作为一项多学科工作启动的,包括来自麻醉科、外科和医疗实践的广泛代表,以及机构项目管理支持(如项目经理、信息技术专家、系统工程师)。PAC 最初仅限于心脏手术患者,后来按计划逐步扩展到其他手术服务。在研究期间,共有 1159 名患者的 1188 次 PAC 会诊符合资格标准,中位年龄为 66(57-73)岁,58.1% 为女性。最常见的贫血病因是缺铁(69.1%),其次是与癌症有关的贫血(17.3%)。有 1038 例(87.4%)就诊者被建议接受贫血定向治疗,其中 730 例(70.3%)在术前接受了建议的治疗。有 79 人(97.1%)接受了静脉注射铁剂治疗,146 人(20.0%)接受了红细胞生成刺激剂治疗。15 名实施 PAC 前和 38 名实施 PAC 后的患者完成了 PROs。实施 PAC 后,贫血症状提前缓解,术后健康评分下降不明显:本报告强调了成功实施 PAC 的关键步骤。大多数患者都可以接受治疗,而且患者重要的治疗结果也可能得到改善。

期刊介绍: Anesthesia & Analgesia exists for the benefit of patients under the care of health care professionals engaged in the disciplines broadly related to anesthesiology, perioperative medicine, critical care medicine, and pain medicine. The Journal furthers the care of these patients by reporting the fundamental advances in the science of these clinical disciplines and by documenting the clinical, laboratory, and administrative advances that guide therapy. Anesthesia & Analgesia seeks a balance between definitive clinical and management investigations and outstanding basic scientific reports. The Journal welcomes original manuscripts containing rigorous design and analysis, even if unusual in their approach.
