ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the related factors of allogeneic blood transfusion (ALBT) in total hip arthroplasty. 【Methods】 Thebasic information, surgical details and laboratory data of 258 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty in Orthopedics Department of our hospital were collectedfrom the electronic medical record system and laboratorytest system. The factors concerningALBT were obtainedby single factor and multivariate logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 The ALBT rate in this study was 19%, and the differencesin such important factors affecting ALBT as gender, age, intraoperative blood loss, drainage volume, operation duration, preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), preoperative activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), preoperative prothrombin time (PT) andhypertension between the two groupswere notable (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysisrevealed that the independent related factors ofALBT were age ≥ 60 years (OR3.577), intraoperative blood loss (OR1.003), drainage volume (OR1.004)and preoperative PT (OR1.888). Preoperative Hb (OR0.94) was a protective factor. 【Conclusion】 Specific and individualized evaluation of ALBT, aimed atreducingunnecessary blood transfusion, can be provided through the analysis of relevant factors.
