Brief Summary

Anemia in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is a relatively frequent issue, resulting in poorer outcome. There is equipoise regarding which transfusion strategy is best, and there is an international consensus on the urgent need for a randomized trial. The investigators hypothesize that a "restrictive" transfusion strategy is at least non-inferior to a "liberal" transfusion strategy on 30-day outcomes of MI patients with anemia. Given the costs and risks of transfusion, a cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis becomes key to determining the role of each strategy.

Conditions

Myocardial Infarction; Anemia; Blood Transfusion

Keywords

Myocardial Infarction; Anemia; Blood Transfusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cost-effectiveness ratio at 30 days

  The primary endpoint is the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) at 30-days, using the composite endpoint (30-day composite of all-cause death, non fatal stroke, nonfatal recurrent MI, and emergency revascularization prompted by ischemia) as the effectiveness criterion

  30 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Cost-effectiveness ratio at 1 year

  1 year

• Clinically non inferiority at 30 days

• Clinically non inferiority at 1 year
