TL;DR

The impact of CPB, off-pump status, preoperative hematocrit <35%, gender, age ≥65 yr, and weight ≤83 kilograms using median values as cut points, on blood use was examined using logistic regression models.

Abstract

We examined the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass, preoperative hematocrit, gender, age, and body weight on blood use in patients undergoing primary coronary artery bypass surgery at a tertiary care institution. We found that all five of these variables are significant predictors of blood use in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
