1 CSP #599 - Transfusion Trigger After Operations in High Cardiac Risk Patients (TOP)

The goal of the proposed study is to determine whether a liberal transfusion strategy (transfusion trigger at Hb < 10 gm/dl) in Veterans at high cardiac risk who undergo major open vascular and general surgery operations is associated with decreased risk of adverse postoperative outcomes compared to a restrictive transfusion strategy (transfusion trigger at Hb < 7 gm/dl).

NCT03229941 Myocardial Infarction Coronary Revascularization Acute Renal Failure Procedure: Blood Transfusion
MeSH:Acute Kidney Injury Myocardial Infarction Infarction
HPO:Acute kidney injury Myocardial infarction

Primary Outcomes

Description: MI will be defined using the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. Acute renal failure will be defined as Acute Kidney Injury stage III according to RIFLE criteria. Baseline creatinine will be considered the creatinine upon admission prior to the index operation. The above urine output criteria will be only used for patients who are in the ICU and have precise monitoring of their urinary output. For patients on the surgical floor only serum creatinine changes will be used for assessment of this endpoint. Coronary revascularization will be defined as a coronary artery bypass graft, or percutaneous coronary intervention (either angioplasty or stenting). Stroke will be defined as new unilateral neurological deficit that lasts for more than 24 hours, and is confirmed by a brain imaging modality (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging study) demonstrating new brain infarct.

Measure: A composite endpoint of all-cause post-randomization mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), coronary revascularization, acute renal failure, or post-randomization ischemic stroke up to 90 days after randomization.

Time: 90 days after randomization

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Wound infection will be defined according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines as a) positive wound culture, or b) drainage of pus from a wound, or c) suspicion of wound infection that was drained operatively. Pneumonia will be defined according to the CDC definition as chest radiograph with new or progressive infiltrate, consolidation, cavitation, or pleural effusion and any of the following: new onset of purulent sputum or change in character of sputum, or organism isolated from blood culture, trans-tracheal aspirate, bronchial brushings, or biopsy. Sepsis will be defined as a combination of two of the following systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria, plus suspected or present source of infection. SIRS criteria will include the following: temperature greater than 38C, heart rate greater than 90 beats/min, WBC > 12,000 or < 4,000, or > 10% bands.

Measure: A composite endpoint of postoperative infectious complications at 90 days post-randomization: Infectious complications will include wound infections, pneumonia, and sepsis.

Time: 90 days after randomization

Description: The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias will be based on EKG findings. Only arrhythmias that result in initiation of new treatment regimen (to include medications, implantable devices, or surgical intervention) during hospitalization will be recorded. CHF will require at least one of the following symptoms or signs new or worsening: dyspnea at rest, orthopnea, or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and radiological evidence of heart failure or worsening heart failure and increase/initiation of established treatment. Cardiac arrest will be defined as the cessation of cardiac pump function activity that results in loss of consciousness and absence of circulating blood flow as evidenced by absent carotid pulse. Only episodes of cardiac arrest that are reversed will be collected under this endpoint. If they are not reversed the event will be categorized as death.

Measure: A composite endpoint of cardiac complications (other than MI) at 90 days post-randomization: Cardiac complications will include new cardiac arrhythmias that necessitate new treatment, new or worsening congestive heart failure (CHF), and cardiac arrest no

Time: 90 days after randomization

Description: The investigators will determine vital status by telephoning participants after hospital discharge, by searching the electronic medical record and the National Death Index.

Measure: All-cause mortality at 1 year after randomization.

Time: 12 months after randomization

Description: MI, coronary revascularization, acute renal failure, or postoperative ischemic stroke.

Measure: A composite endpoint of all-cause mortality,

Time: 30 days after randomization

Description: Length of hospital stay

Measure: Length of hospital stay.

Time: At hospital discharge, up to 1 year

Other Outcomes

Description: All cause postoperative mortality, Postoperative MI, Postoperative coronary revascularization, Postoperative stroke,Postoperative acute renal failure

Measure: The investigators will examine individual rates of the outcomes that consist of individual components of the primary endpoint.

Time: 90 days after randomization
