Anemia in PICU Survivors

Restrictive transfusion practices are increasingly being followed in pediatric intensive care units (PICU); consequently, more patients are discharged anemic from PICU. Given the possible impact of anemia on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, we aim to describe the epidemiology of anemia at PICU discharge in a mixed (pediatric and cardiac) cohort of PICU survivors and to characterize risk factors for anemia.
