Long-term outcomes in patients with septic shock transfused at a lower versus a higher haemoglobin threshold

icmjournal.esicm.org November 3, 2017

Long-term mortality rates and HRQoL did not differ in patients with septic shock and anaemia who were transfused at a haemoglobin threshold of 7 g/dl versus a threshold of 9 g/dl. We may reject a more than 3 % increased hazard of death in the lower- versus higher-threshold group at the time of longest follow-up.
