Abstract
Iron is an essential nutrient for humans and microbes, such as bacteria. Iron deficiency commonly occurs in critically ill patients, but supplementary iron therapy is not considered during the acute phase of critical illness since it increases iron availability for invading microbes and oxidative stress. However, persistent iron deficiency in the recovery phase is harmful and has potential adverse outcomes such as cognitive dysfunction, fatigue, and cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Therefore, it is important to treat iron deficiency quickly and efficiently. This article reviews current knowledge about iron-related biomarkers in critical illness with a focus on patients with sepsis, and provides possible criteria to guide decision-making for iron supplementation in the recovery phase of those patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine optional therapeutic strategies by comparing monotherapies and combination therapies to reduce RBC transfusion requirement for patients in the ICU. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Embase were searched for studies published from database inception until July 2023. DATA EXTRACTION We included randomized controlled trials comparing erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (Epo), iron, combination therapy with iron and Epo, hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), vitamin D 3 (VD3), and placebo/no treatment. A frequentist network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed using a random effects model, and the confidence in NMA was rated. DATA SYNTHESIS Of 117 eligible studies, 75 studies (15,091 patients) were included in the quantitative analysis. Compared with placebo/no treatment, the combination therapy reduces the requirement for RBC transfusion (risk ratio [RR]: 0.60; 95% CI, 0.49-0.74; confidence rating: moderate). The Epo or iron monotherapy may reduce the requirement for RBC transfusion (RR: 0.81; 95% CI, 0.63-1.04; confidence rating: low; RR: 0.83; 95% CI, 0.70-0.98; confidence rating: low, respectively). Combination therapy may not increase the prevalence of both venous thromboembolism (VTE) (RR: 0.73; 95% CI, 0.25-2.08; confidence rating: low) and infection. Epo monotherapy may not increase the prevalence of VTE but may increase that of infections (RR: 1.27; 95% CI, 0.94-1.73; confidence rating: low). Iron monotherapy may not increase the prevalence of both VTE and infection. Evidence for VD3 and HIF-PHI remains uncertain. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy with iron and Epo likely reduces the requirement for RBC transfusion and may be less harmful than other therapies.

Abstract
The multiple roles of iron in the body have been known for decades, particularly its involvement in iron overload diseases such as hemochromatosis. More recently, compelling evidence has emerged regarding the critical role of non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI), also known as catalytic iron, in the care of critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs). These trace amounts of iron constitute a small percentage of the serum iron, yet they are heavily implicated in the exacerbation of diseases, primarily by catalyzing the formation of reactive oxygen species, which promote oxidative stress. Additionally, catalytic iron activates macrophages and facilitates the growth of pathogens. This review aims to shed light on this underappreciated phenomenon and explore the various common sources of NTBI in ICU patients, which lead to transient iron dysregulation during acute phases of disease. Iron serves as the linchpin of a vicious cycle in many ICU pathologies that are often multifactorial. The clinical evidence showing its detrimental impact on patient outcomes will be outlined in the major ICU pathologies. Finally, different therapeutic strategies will be reviewed, including the targeting of proteins involved in iron metabolism, conventional chelation therapy, and the combination of renal replacement therapy with chelation therapy.

Abstract
The anemia of critical illness (ACI) is a nearly universal pathophysiological consequence of burn injury and a primary reason burn patients require massive quantities of transfused blood. Inflammatory processes are expected to drive postburn ACI and prevent meaningful erythropoietic stimulation through iron or erythropoietin supplementation, but to this day no specific inflammatory pathways have been identified as a critical mechanism. In this study, we examined whether secretion of G-CSF and IL-6 mediates distinct features of postburn ACI and interrogated inflammatory mechanisms that could be responsible for their secretion. Our analysis of mouse and human skin samples identified the burn wound as a primary source of G-CSF and IL-6 secretion. We show that G-CSF and IL-6 are secreted independently through an IL-1/MyD88-dependent mechanism, and we ruled out TLR2 and TLR4 as critical receptors. Our results indicate that IL-1/MyD88-dependent G-CSF secretion plays a key role in impairing medullary erythropoiesis and IL-6 secretion plays a key role in limiting the access of erythroid cells to iron. Importantly, we found that IL-1α/β neutralizing Abs broadly attenuated features of postburn ACI that could be attributed to G-CSF or IL-6 secretion and rescued deficits of circulating RBC counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit caused by burn injury. We conclude that wound-based IL-1/MyD88 signaling mediates postburn ACI through induction of G-CSF and IL-6 secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma is associated with widespread inflammation, neuroendocrine activation, and an inadequate bone marrow response to anemia. During late-stage erythropoiesis, erythroid progenitors/erythroblasts form clusters on the surface of specialized bone marrow macrophages where they are supported through terminal differentiation and enucleation. We hypothesized that these erythroblastic islands (EBIs) are adversely impacted by severe trauma. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8/group) were subjected to either multiple injuries (PT) (lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock, cecectomy, and bifemoral pseudofractures), PT plus 2 hours of daily chronic restraint stress (PT/CS), or naive controls. Bone marrow was harvested on days 2 and 7. Nuclear-stained, enriched bone marrow EBIs were fixed and stained for CD71, VCAM-1, and CD163, and confocal images were obtained at 20 times magnification. Numbers of erythroid cells/EBI and ratio of reticulocytes/EBI were counted by a blinded observer. Differences were compared using analysis of variance, with significance defined as p < 0.05. RESULTS PT and PT/CS had significantly reduced numbers of erythroid cells per EBI on day 2 when compared with naive (PT: 5.9 ± 1.0 cells [ p < 0.05], PT/CS: 6.8 ± 0.8 cells [ p < 0.05] vs. naive: 8.5 ± 0.8 cells). On day 7, the number of erythroid cells/EBI increased following PT (8.3 ± 0.4 cells) but remained reduced following PT/CS (5.9 ± 0.5 cells [ p < 0.05]). This correlated with an increased proportion of reticulocytes/EBI on day 7 following PT, which was not present following PT/CS (PT: 54% [ p < 0.05] vs. PT/CS: 28%). CONCLUSION Late-stage erythropoiesis was altered following multicompartmental PT early after injury, and these alterations persisted with the addition of daily chronic stress. Alterations in EBI structure and function after severe trauma and critical illness may serve as a promising new area of study to improve mechanistic understanding of persistent anemia after trauma.

Abstract
Background: Post-injury inflammation and its correlation with anemia recovery after severe trauma is poorly described. Severe injury induces a systemic inflammatory response associated with critical illness and organ dysfunction, including disordered hematopoiesis, and anemia. This study sought to characterize the resolution of post-injury inflammation and anemia to identify risk factors associated with persistence of anemia. Patients and Methods: This single-institution study prospectively enrolled 73 trauma patients with an injury severity score >15, hemorrhagic shock, and a lower extremity long bone orthopedic injury. Blood was obtained at enrollment and after 14 days, one, three, and six months. Analytes were compared using Mann-Whitney U tests with correction for multiple comparisons. Results: Median age was 45 years and Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 27, with anemia rates of 97% at two weeks, 80% at one month, 52% at three months, and 30% at six months. Post-injury elevations in erythropoietin, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein resolved by one month, three months, and six months, respectively. Median granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α concentrations remained elevated throughout the six-month follow-up period. Patients with persistent anemia had longer intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay, more infectious complications, and received more packed red blood cell transfusions compared to those with early anemia recovery. Conclusions: Severe trauma is associated with a prolonged inflammatory response, which is associated with increased transfusion requirements, lengths of stay, and persistent anemia. Further analysis is needed to identify correlations between prolonged inflammation and clinical outcomes after discharge.

Abstract
Burns exceeding 30% of total body surface area (TBSA) result in considerable hypovolemia coupled with the formation and release of inflammatory mediators, leading to subsequent systemic effects known as burn shock. Because of plasma exudation and the associated losses of large quantities of minerals, severe burns can lead to nutritional deficiencies and consequently disrupt homeostasis and metabolism of the entire body. The study group comprised 62 patients, who were divided into 3 groups according to the severity of burns. Serum samples were tested for concentrations of Ca, Mg, Mn, P, K, Zn, Cu, Fe, Se, Na, Cr, Ni, and Al. The mineral concentrations in serum of patients with burn injuries differ significantly from reference values, but this is not affected by the extent of the body burn. There are statistically significant decreases in serum concentrations of elements important for antioxidant protection (Zn, Cu, Se), and significant increases in the concentrations of toxic elements (Al and Ni), which may aggravate the effects associated with the state of burn shock. The Spearman rank correlation analysis did not reveal any statistically significant relationships between the serum concentrations of Mn, Ni, Al, K, Na, P, Mg, Zn, Se, Cr and the affected body surface area and severity of the burn—the values were at the lower end of the reference range. The obtained results indicate that proper nutrition, including elements replenishment, is extremely important in the recovery process of burn patients and time to nutrition is an important factor affecting patient survival after severe burn.

Abstract
Critical illness leads to millions of deaths worldwide each year, with a significant surge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients with critical illness are frequently associated with systemic metabolic disorders and malnutrition. The idea of intervention for critically ill patients through enteral and parenteral nutrition has been paid more and more attention gradually. However, current nutritional therapies focus on evidence-based practice, and there have been lacking holistic approaches for nutritional support assessment. Metabolomics is a well-established omics technique in system biology that enables comprehensive profiling of metabolites in a biological system and thus provides the underlying information expressed and modulated by all other omics layers. In recent years, with the development of high-resolution and accurate mass spectrometry, metabolomics entered a new "generation", promoting its broader applications in critical care nutrition. In this review, we first described the technological development and milestones of next-generation metabolomics in the past 20 years. We then discussed the emerging roles of next-generation metabolomics in advancing our understanding of critical care nutrition, such as nutritional deficiency risk evaluation, metabolic mechanisms of nutritional therapies, and novel nutrition target identification.

Mechanisms of improved erythroid progenitor growth with removal of chronic stress after trauma. Surgery 2022; 172:759-765.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Erythropoietic dysfunction after trauma and critical illness is associated with anemia, persistent inflammation, increased hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization from the bone marrow, and reduced erythroid progenitor growth. Yet the duration and reversibility of these postinjury bone marrow changes remain unknown. This study sought to determine whether removal of chronic postinjury stress could induce improvements in erythroid progenitor growth. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8-11/group) were assigned to the following: naïve, lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock, lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock plus daily chronic stress for 7 days followed by 7 days of routine handling to allow recovery (lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock + chronic stress 7), or lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock plus chronic stress for 14 days (lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock + chronic stress 14). Circulating CD117+CD71+ erythroid progenitors were detected by flow cytometry. Rodents were killed on day 14, and bone marrow erythroid progenitor growth and erythroid transcription factors were assessed. Differences were assessed by analysis of variance (P < .05). RESULTS Compared to lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock + chronic stress 14, lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock + chronic stress 7 rodents had improved hemoglobin (8% ± 10% increase vs 6% ± 10% decrease) with fewer mobilized erythroid progenitors (898 × vs 1,524 cells), lower granulocyte-colony stimulating factor levels (3.1 ± 1.1 × pg/mL vs 5.9 ± 1.8 pg/mL), and improved erythroid progenitor growth. Cessation of stress had no impact on erythroid transcription factors GATA-1, GATA-2, LMO2, or KLF1. CONCLUSION Improvements in erythroid progenitor growth and reduced hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization were seen 7 days after cessation of chronic stress and were associated with an improvement in hemoglobin. Early bone marrow erythropoietic functional recovery may result from resolution of hematopoietic progenitor mobilization rather than upregulation of pro-erythroid transcription factors. This study suggests that postinjury anemia is reversible and has the potential to improve with the cessation of stress.

Abstract
M-CSF receptor signaling supports the development and survival of mononuclear phagocytes and is thought to play a role in post burn anemia by promoting myeloid lineage bias. We found M-CSF secretion was increased in burn patients and a murine model of post burn ACI, so we neutralized M-CSF in ACI mice to determine if erythropoiesis was improved. Instead, M-CSF blockade further impaired erythropoiesis and erythroid cells access to iron. M-CSF blockade enhanced inflammatory cytokine secretion, further increased systemic neutrophil counts, and led to tissue iron sequestration that was dependent, in part, on augmented IL-6 secretion which induced hepcidin. Deleterious effects of post burn M-CSF blockade were associated with arrest of an iron recycling gene expression signature in the liver and spleen that included Spi-C transcription factor and heme oxygenase-1, which promote heme metabolism and confer a non-inflammatory tone in macrophages. Hepatic induction of these factors in ACI mice was consistent with a recovery of ferroportin gene expression and reflected an M-CSF dependent expansion and differentiation of Spi-C+ monocytes into Kupffer cells. Together, this data indicates M-CSF secretion supports a homeostatic iron recycling program that plays a key role in the maintenance of erythroid cells access to iron following burn injury.

Wu FH, Wong LT, Wu CL, Chao WC. Week-One Anaemia was Associated with Increased One-Year Mortality in Critically Ill Surgical Patients. Int J Clin Pract 2022; 2022:8121611. [PMID: 36128261 PMCID: PMC9470355 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8121611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaemia has a deleterious effect on surgical patients, but the long-term impact of anaemia in critically ill surgical patients remains unclear. METHODS We enrolled consecutive patients who were admitted to surgical intensive care units (ICUs) at a tertiary referral centre in central Taiwan between 2015 and 2020. We used both Cox proportional hazards analysis and propensity score-based analyses, including propensity score matching (PSM), inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), and covariate balancing propensity score (CBPS) to determine hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for one-year mortality. RESULTS A total of 7,623 critically ill surgical patients were enrolled, and 29.9% (2,280/7,623) of them had week-one anaemia (haemoglobin <10 g/dL). We found that anaemia was independently associated with an increased risk of one-year mortality after adjustment for relevant covariates (aHR, 1.170; 95% CI, 1.045-1.310). We further identified a consistent strength of association between anaemia and one-year mortality in propensity score-based analyses, with the adjusted HRs in the PSM, IPTW, and CBPS were 1.164 (95% CI 1.025-1.322), 1.179 (95% CI 1.030-1.348), and 1.181 (1.034-1.349), respectively. CONCLUSIONS We identified the impact on one-year mortality of anaemia in critically ill surgical patients, and more studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe trauma is associated with severe systemic inflammation and neuroendocrine activation that is associated with erythroid progenitor growth suppression and refractory anemia. Although distinct transcriptional profiles have been detected in numerous tissue types after trauma, no study has yet characterized this within the bone marrow. This study sought to identify a unique bone marrow transcriptomic response following trauma. METHODS In a prospective observational cohort study, bone marrow was obtained from severely injured trauma patients with a hip or femur fracture (n = 52), elective hip replacement patients (n = 33), and healthy controls (n = 11). RNA was isolated from bone marrow using a Purelink RNA mini kit. Direct quantification of mRNA copies was performed by NanoString Technologies on a custom gene panel. RESULTS Trauma patients displayed an upregulation of genes encoding receptors known to have inhibitory downstream effects on erythropoiesis, including ferroportin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) receptor, and IL-10, as well as genes involved in innate immunity including toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated signaling factors. In contrast, hip replacement patients had downregulated transcription of IL-1β, IL-6, TGF-β, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and the HAMP gene with no change in TLR4-mediated signaling factors. CONCLUSIONS A unique transcriptomic response within the bone marrow was identified following severe trauma compared to elective hip replacement. These transcriptomic differences were related to the innate immune response as well as known inhibitors of erythropoiesis. Although confined to just one time point, this differential transcriptional response may be linked to refractory anemia and inflammation after injury.

Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Iron Therapy for Treating Anaemia in Critically ill Adults: A Rapid Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis. Transfus Med Rev 2021; 36:97-106. [PMID: 35031197 DOI: 10.1016/j.tmrv.2021.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Our objective was to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) iron therapy for treating anaemia in critically ill adults (>16 years) admitted to intensive care or high dependency units. We excluded quasi-RCTs and other not truly randomised trials. We searched 7 electronic databases (including CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and Embase) using a pre-defined search strategy from inception to June 14, 2021. One reviewer screened, extracted, and analysed data, with verification by a second reviewer of all decisions. We used Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) 1 and GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence. We reported 3 comparisons across 1198 patients, in 8 RCTs: (1) IV iron vs control (7 RCTs, 748 participants); our primary outcome (hemoglobin (Hb) concentration at 10 to 30 days) was reported in 7 of the 8 included trials. There was evidence of an effect (very-low certainty) in favour of IV iron over control in the main comparison only (6 RCTs, n = 528, mean difference (MD) 0.52g/dL [95%CI 0.23, 0.81], P = .0005). For the remaining outcomes there was no evidence of an effect in either direction (low certainty of evidence for Hb concentration at <10 days; very-low certainty of evidence for hospital duration, ICU duration, hospital readmission, infection, mortality; HRQoL outcomes were not GRADED). (2) IV iron + subcutaneous erythropoietin (EPO) vs control (2 RCTs, 104 participants); reported outcomes showed no evidence of effect in either direction, based on very-low certainty evidence (Hb concentration at 10-30 days, and <10 days, infection, mortality). (3) Hepcidin-guided treatment with IV iron or iron+ EPO vs standard care (1 RCT, 399 participants) reported evidence of an effect in favour of the intervention for 90-day mortality (low certainty of evidence), but no other group differences for the reported outcomes (low certainty evidence for Hb concentration at 10-30 days, hospital duration; HRQoL was not GRADED). The evidence across all comparisons was downgraded for high and unclear ROB for lack of blinding, incomplete outcome data, baseline imbalance, and imprecision around the estimate (wide CIs and small sample size). In conclusion, the current evidence continues to support further investigation into the role for iron therapy in increasing Hb in critically ill patients. Recent, small, trials have begun to focus on patient-centred outcomes but a large, well conducted, and adequately powered trial is needed to inform clinical practice.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Intravenous iron is recommended by many clinical guidelines based largely on its effectiveness in reducing anemia. However, the association with important safety outcomes, such as infection, remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE To examine the risk of infection associated with intravenous iron compared with oral iron or no iron. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from 1966 to January 31, 2021. Ongoing trials were sought from ClinicalTrials.gov, CENTRAL, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Search Registry Platform. STUDY SELECTION Pairs of reviewers identified RCTs that compared intravenous iron with oral iron or no iron across all patient populations, excluding healthy volunteers. Nonrandomized studies published since January 1, 2007, were also included. A total of 312 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data extraction and risk of bias assessments were performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) and Cochrane recommendations, and the quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE (Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach. Two reviewers extracted data independently. A random-effects model was used to synthesize data from RCTs. A narrative synthesis was performed to characterize the reporting of infection. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was risk of infection. Secondary outcomes included mortality, hospital length of stay, and changes in hemoglobin and red blood cell transfusion requirements. Measures of association were reported as risk ratios (RRs) or mean differences. RESULTS A total of 154 RCTs (32 920 participants) were included in the main analysis. Intravenous iron was associated with an increased risk of infection when compared with oral iron or no iron (RR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.04-1.31; I2 = 37%; moderate certainty of evidence). Intravenous iron also was associated with an increase in hemoglobin (mean difference, 0.57 g/dL; 95% CI, 0.50-0.64 g/dL; I2 = 94%) and a reduction in the risk of requiring a red blood cell transfusion (RR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.76-0.89; I2 = 15%) when compared with oral iron or no iron. There was no evidence of an effect on mortality or hospital length of stay. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this large systematic review and meta-analysis, intravenous iron was associated with an increased risk of infection. Well-designed studies, using standardized definitions of infection, are required to understand the balance between this risk and the potential benefits.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) have both unique and common responses following hemorrhage, injury, and sepsis. HSPCs from different lineages have a distinctive response to these "stress" signals. Inflammation, via the production of inflammatory factors, including cytokines, hormones, and interferons, has been demonstrated to impact the differentiation and function of HSPCs. In response to injury, hemorrhagic shock, and sepsis, cellular phenotypic changes and altered function occur, demonstrating the rapid response and potential adaptability of bone marrow hematopoietic cells. In this review, we summarize the pathophysiology of emergency myelopoiesis and the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, impaired erythropoiesis, as well as the mobilization of HSPCs from the bone marrow. Finally, we discuss potential therapeutic options to optimize HSPC function after severe trauma or infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe traumatic injury leads to persistent injury-associated anemia that is associated with hypercatecholaminemia, systemic inflammation, increased hepcidin, and a functional iron deficiency. Vitamin D has been shown to reduce proinflammatory cytokines and hepcidin concentrations. This study aimed to investigate the association of vitamin D status with inflammation, iron biomarkers, and anemia following blunt trauma. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study comparing blunt trauma patients (n = 45) with elective hip replacement patients (n = 22) and healthy controls (n = 8) was performed. Bone marrow ferroportin, transferrin receptor, and erythroferrone expression was measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Plasma was assessed for systemic inflammation, erythropoietin (EPO), iron regulation, and vitamin D (25-OH) concentrations using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hemoglobin was measured on the day of discharge. RESULTS Compared with hip replacement, trauma patients had higher plasma interleukin-6 (90.1 vs. 3.8 pg/mL), C-reactive protein (6,223 vs. 2,612 ng/mL), and hepcidin (79.3 vs. 21.2 ng/mL) concentrations. Trauma patients had lower vitamin D (25-OH) (12.8 vs. 18.1 ng/mL) and iron (23.5 vs. 59.9 μg/mL) levels compared with hip replacement patients. Despite the higher hepcidin EPO levels, bone marrow erythroferrone expression was increased 69% following trauma. CONCLUSION Following elective hip replacement, patients did have anemia and impaired iron homeostasis without a significant change in inflammatory biomarkers, EPO, and vitamin D status. Vitamin D status did correlate with systemic inflammation, iron dysfunction, and persistent injury-associated anemia following severe blunt trauma. Further research is needed to determine whether supplementation with vitamin D in the trauma population could improve the persistent injury-associated anemia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prospective study, prognostic, level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia is a significant problem in patients on ICU. Its commonest cause, iron deficiency (ID), is difficult to diagnose in the context of inflammation. Hepcidin is a new marker of ID. We aimed to assess whether hepcidin levels would accurately guide treatment of ID in critically ill anemic patients after a prolonged ICU stay and affect the post-ICU outcomes. METHODS In a controlled, single-blinded, multicenter study, anemic (WHO definition) critically ill patients with an ICU stay ≥ 5 days were randomized when discharge was expected to either intervention by hepcidin treatment protocol or control. In the intervention arm, patients were treated with intravenous iron (1 g of ferric carboxymaltose) when hepcidin was < 20 μg/l and with intravenous iron and erythropoietin for 20 ≤ hepcidin < 41 μg/l. Control patients were treated according to standard care (hepcidin quantification remained blinded). Primary endpoint was the number of days spent in hospital 90 days after ICU discharge (post-ICU LOS). Secondary endpoints were day 15 anemia, day 30 fatigue, day 90 mortality and 1-year survival. RESULTS Of 405 randomized patients, 399 were analyzed (201 in intervention and 198 in control arm). A total of 220 patients (55%) had ID at discharge (i.e., a hepcidin < 41 μg/l). Primary endpoint was not different (medians (IQR) post-ICU LOS 33(13;90) vs. 33(11;90) days for intervention and control, respectively, median difference - 1(- 3;1) days, p = 0.78). D90 mortality was significantly lower in intervention arm (16(8%) vs 33(16.6%) deaths, absolute risk difference - 8.7 (- 15.1 to - 2.3)%, p = 0.008, OR 95% IC, 0.46, 0.22-0.94, p = 0.035), and one-year survival was improved (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Treatment of ID diagnosed according to hepcidin levels did not reduce the post-ICU LOS, but was associated with a significant reduction in D90 mortality and with improved 1-year survival in critically ill patients about to be discharged after a prolonged stay.

Abstract
Appropriate nutrition is a key component of burn treatment and should be regarded as an integral part of the therapeutic process in burn patients. A nutritional intervention plan should not only allow for adequate quantities of energy and protein but also carefully consider the supply of macro- and micronutrients. As a result of the severe inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and hypermetabolic state, accompanied by often extensive exudation in burn patients, there is a considerable loss of macro- and micronutrients, including essential trace elements. This leads to certain complications, involving e.g. more frequent infections and impaired wound healing. Our current body of knowledge is still insufficient, and the studies carried out to date focus for the most part on the imbalances in trace elements, such as copper (Cu), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn). Nevertheless, there are many other trace elements involved in immune functions, regulating gene expression or antioxidant defense, and many of those have not been properly investigated in a clinical setting. Due to the insufficient amount of unambiguous literature data and relatively few, often dated, studies carried out with small patient groups, further evaluation of macro- and microelements in burn patients seems indispensable, e.g. to bring up to date local nutritional protocols.

[PMID: 30812055 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.1525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Micronutrients, an umbrella term used to collectively describe vitamins and trace elements, are essential components of nutrition. Those requiring alternative forms of nutrition support are dependent on the prescribed nutrition regimen for their micronutrient provision. The purpose of this paper is to assist clinicians to bridge the gap between the available guidelines' recommendations and their practical application in the provision of micronutrients via the parenteral route to adult patients. METHODS Based on the available evidenced-based literature and existing guidelines, a panel of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals with significant experience in the provision of parenteral nutrition (PN) and intravenous micronutrients developed this international consensus paper. RESULTS The paper addresses 14 clinically relevant questions regarding the importance and use of micronutrients in various clinical conditions. Practical orientation on how micronutrients should be prescribed, administered, and monitored is provided. CONCLUSION Micronutrients are a critical component to nutrition provision and PN provided without them pose a considerable risk to nutrition status. Obstacles to their daily provision-including voluntary omission, partial provision, and supply issues-must be overcome to allow safe and responsible nutrition practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anemia is very common in critical care patients, on admission (affecting about two thirds of patients), but also during and after their stay, due to repeated blood loss, the effects of inflammation on erythropoiesis, a decreased red blood cell life span, and haemodilution. Anemia is associated with severity of illness and length of stay. METHODS A committee composed of 16 experts from four scientific societies, SFAR, SRLF, SFTS and SFVTT, evaluated three fields: (1) anaemia prevention, (2) transfusion strategies and (3) non-transfusion treatment of anaemia. Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) questions were reviewed and updated as needed, and evidence profiles were generated. Analysis of the literature and formulation of recommendations were then conducted according to the GRADE® methodology. RESULTS The SFAR-SRLF guideline panel provided ten statements concerning the management of anemia in adult critical care patients. Acute haemorrhage and chronic anemia were excluded from the scope of these recommendations. After two rounds of discussion and various amendments, a strong consensus was reached for ten recommendations. Three of these recommendations had a high level of evidence (GRADE 1±) and four had a low level of evidence (GRADE 2±). No GRADE recommendation could be provided for two questions in the absence of strong consensus. CONCLUSIONS The experts reached a substantial consensus for several strong recommendations for optimal patient management. The experts recommended phlebotomy reduction strategies, restrictive red blood cell transfusion and a single-unit transfusion policy, the use of red blood cells regardless of storage time, treatment of anemic patients with erythropoietin, especially after trauma, in the absence of contraindications and avoidance of iron therapy (except in the context of erythropoietin therapy).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Associations among inflammatory cytokines, erythropoietin (EPO), and anemia in critically ill septic patients remain unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that elevated inflammatory cytokines and decreased EPO would be associated with iron-restricted anemia while accounting for operative blood loss, phlebotomy blood loss, and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion volume. METHODS Prospective observational cohort study of 42 critically ill septic patients was conducted. Hemoglobin (Hb) at sepsis onset and hospital discharge were used to calculate ΔHb. Operative blood loss, phlebotomy blood loss, and RBC transfusion volume were used to calculate adjusted ΔHb (AdjΔHb) assuming that 300 mL RBC is equal to 1 g/dL Hb. Patients with AdjΔHb of greater than 0 (positive AdjΔHb, n = 18) were compared with patients with AdjΔHb of less than or equal to 0 (negative AdjΔHb, n = 24). RESULTS Plasma tumor necrosis factor α, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, EPO, erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume, and serum transferrin receptor were measured on days 0, 1, 4, 7, and 14. Patients with negative AdjΔHb had significantly higher day 14 levels of IL-6 (37.4 vs. 15.2 pg/mL, p < 0.05), IL-8 (39.1 vs. 18.2 pg/mL, p = 0.01), and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (101.3 vs. 60.5 pg/mL, p = 0.01), but not EPO. On linear regression analysis, lower AdjΔHb was associated with higher day 14 levels of IL-6 (r = 0.22, p < 0.01), IL-8 (r = 0.10, p = 0.04), stromal cell-derived factor 1 (r = 0.14, p = 0.02), and tumor necrosis factor α (r = 0.13, p = 0.02), but not EPO. Patients with negative AdjΔHb had significantly lower mean corpuscular volume on days 4 (89.6 vs. 93.2 fL/cell, p = 0.04), 7 (92.3 vs. 94.9 fL/cell, p = 0.04), and 14 (92.1 vs. 96.0 fL/cell, p = 0.03) but similar serum transferrin receptor levels. CONCLUSION Persistent elevation of inflammatory cytokines was associated with iron-restricted anemia among critically ill septic patients, occurring in the absence of systemic iron deficiency, independent of endogenous EPO. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic study, level II.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based clinical practice recommendations regarding transfusion practices in non-bleeding, critically ill adults. DESIGN A task force involving 13 international experts and three methodologists used the GRADE approach for guideline development. METHODS The task force identified four main topics: red blood cell transfusion thresholds, red blood cell transfusion avoidance strategies, platelet transfusion, and plasma transfusion. The panel developed structured guideline questions using population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes (PICO) format. RESULTS The task force generated 16 clinical practice recommendations (3 strong recommendations, 13 conditional recommendations), and identified five PICOs with insufficient evidence to make any recommendation. CONCLUSIONS This clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations and identifies areas where further research is needed regarding transfusion practices and transfusion avoidance in non-bleeding, critically ill adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Traumatic injury has been described as a growing pandemic which has significant implications for global health. In the trauma setting, anemia is a common occurrence and is frequently inadequately addressed. It is associated with significant morbidity and incurs great cost - both to the patient and to the health system. The cause is multifactorial, and the pathophysiology is incompletely understood. Appropriate care of the trauma patient is a multidisciplinary responsibility and a focused approach to anemia is vital. The recommendation for restrictive transfusion strategies and the potential benefit of intravenous iron (IVI) in the perioperative setting, make the intervention an attractive proposition in the anemic trauma patient. RECENT FINDINGS In an era where the importance of patient blood management is recognized, there is significant attention being given to both the implications and the appropriate management of anemia, in various settings. Advances have been made in the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the anemia associated with traumatic injury and the efficacy of current interventions is being explored. This increased understanding of the pathophysiology behind the condition has also facilitated the postulation of potential therapeutic targets for the future. SUMMARY Suboptimally managed anemia impacts on clinical outcome and contributes to the burden of costs associated with trauma. The cause of the anemia associated with trauma is multifactorial and should be addressed at several levels. The role of IVI in this setting is yet to be clearly defined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe traumatic injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Our goal was to analyze blunt traumatic injury by injury severity score (ISS) and compare with elective hip repair, as a transient injury, and healthy control with the hypothesis that more severe injury would lead to an increase in neuroendocrine activation, systemic inflammation, and worse anemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective observational cohort study was performed at a level 1 trauma center, comparing blunt trauma patients (n = 37), elective hip replacement patients (n = 26), and healthy controls (n = 8). Bone marrow and plasma were assessed for hyperadrenergic state, erythropoiesis, and systemic inflammation. Trauma patient's ISS ranged from 4 to 41 and were broken down into quartiles for analysis. The ISS quartiles were 4-13, 14-20, 21-26, and 27-41. RESULTS Plasma norepinephrine, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and hepcidin increased progressively as ISS increased. Hemoglobin significantly decreased as ISS increased and packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion increased as ISS increased. Elective hip replacement patients had an appropriate increase in the bone marrow expression of erythropoietin and the erythropoietin receptor, which was absent in all trauma patient groups. CONCLUSIONS Increased neuroendocrine activation, systemic inflammation, and anemia correlated with worsening injury severity, lower age, and increased pRBC transfusions. Elective hip replacement patients have only minimal systemic inflammation with an appropriate bone marrow response to anemia. This study demonstrates a link between injury severity, neuroendocrine activation, systemic inflammation, and the bone marrow response to anemia.

Abstract
RATIONALE The pathophysiology of persistent injury-associated anemia is incompletely understood, and human data are sparse. OBJECTIVES To characterize persistent injury-associated anemia among critically ill trauma patients with the hypothesis that severe trauma would be associated with neuroendocrine activation, erythropoietin dysfunction, iron dysregulation, and decreased erythropoiesis. METHODS A translational prospective observational cohort study comparing severely injured, blunt trauma patients who had operative fixation of a hip or femur fracture (n = 17) with elective hip repair patients (n = 22). Bone marrow and plasma obtained at the index operation were assessed for circulating catecholamines, systemic inflammation, erythropoietin, iron trafficking pathways, and erythroid progenitor growth. Bone marrow was also obtained from healthy donors from a commercial source (n = 8). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS During admission, trauma patients had a median of 625 ml operative blood loss and 5 units of red blood cell transfusions, and Hb decreased from 10.5 to 9.3 g/dl. Compared with hip repair, trauma patients had higher median plasma norepinephrine (21.9 vs. 8.9 ng/ml) and hepcidin (56.3 vs. 12.2 ng/ml) concentrations (both P < 0.05). Bone marrow erythropoietin and erythropoietin receptor expression were significantly increased among patients undergoing hip repair (23% and 14% increases, respectively; both P < 0.05), but not in trauma patients (3% and 5% increases, respectively), compared with healthy control subjects. Trauma patients had lower bone marrow transferrin receptor expression than did hip repair patients (57% decrease; P < 0.05). Erythroid progenitor growth was decreased in trauma patients (39.0 colonies per plate; P < 0.05) compared with those with hip repair (57.0 colonies per plate; P < 0.05 compared with healthy control subjects) and healthy control subjects (66.5 colonies per plate). CONCLUSIONS Severe blunt trauma was associated with neuroendocrine activation, erythropoietin dysfunction, iron dysregulation, erythroid progenitor growth suppression, and persistent injury-associated anemia. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT 02577731).

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety (risk of infection) and efficacy (transfusion requirements, changes in haemoglobin (Hb)) of iron therapy in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We systematically searched seven databases for all relevant studies until January 2018 and included randomized (RCT) studies comparing iron, by any route, with placebo/no iron. RESULTS 805 participants from 6 RCTs were included. Iron therapy, by any route, did not decrease the risk of requirement for a red blood cell (RBC) transfusion (Risk ratio (RR) 0.91, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.04, p = 0.15) or mean number of RBCs transfused per participant (mean difference (MD) -0.30, 95% CI -0.68 to 0.07, p = 0.15). Iron therapy did increase mean Hb concentration (MD 0.31 g/dL, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.59, p = 0.03). There was no difference in infection (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.19, p = 0.44). Trial Sequential Analysis suggests that the required participant numbers to detect or reject a clinically important effect of iron therapy on transfusion requirements or infection in ICU patients has not yet been reached. CONCLUSION Iron therapy results in a modest increase in Hb. The current evidence is inadequate to exclude an important effect on transfusion requirements or infection.

Abstract
Background Both anaemia and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion are common and associated with adverse outcomes in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study was to determine whether serum hepcidin concentration, measured early after ICU admission in patients with anaemia, could identify a group in whom intravenous (IV) iron therapy decreased the subsequent RBC transfusion requirement. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study nested within a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) of IV iron versus placebo. The study was conducted in the ICUs of four tertiary hospitals in Perth, Western Australia. Critically ill patients with haemoglobin (Hb) of < 100 g/L and within 48 h of admission to the ICU were eligible for participation after enrolment in the IRONMAN RCT. The response to IV iron therapy compared with placebo was assessed according to tertile of hepcidin concentration. Results Hepcidin concentration was measured within 48 h of ICU admission in 133 patients. For patients in the lower two tertiles of hepcidin concentration (< 53.0 μg), IV iron therapy compared with placebo was associated with a significant decrease in RBC transfusion requirement [risk ratio 0.48 (95% CI 0.26–0.85), p = 0.013]. Conclusions In critically ill patients with anaemia admitted to an ICU, baseline hepcidin concentration predicts RBC transfusion requirement and is able to identify a group of patients in whom IV iron compared with placebo is associated with a significant decrease in RBC transfusion requirement.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to describe recent findings in the context of previous work regarding dysregulated myelopoiesis and hematopoietic function following an acute physiologic insult, focusing on the expansion and persistence of myeloid-deriver suppressor cells, the deterioration of lymphocyte number and function, and the inadequacy of stress erythropoiesis. RECENT FINDINGS Persistent myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) expansion among critically ill septic patients is associated with T-cell suppression, vulnerability to nosocomial infection, chronic critical illness, and poor long-term functional status. Multiple approaches targeting MDSC expansion and suppressor cell activity may serve as a primary or adjunctive therapeutic intervention. Traumatic injury and the neuroendocrine stress response suppress bone marrow erythropoietin receptor expression in a process that may be reversed by nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blockade. Hepcidin-mediated iron-restricted anemia of critical illness requires further investigation of novel approaches involving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, iron administration, and hepcidin modulation. SUMMARY Emergency myelopoiesis is a dynamic process with unique phenotypes for different physiologic insults and host factors. Following an acute physiologic insult, critically ill patients are subject to persistent MDSC expansion, deterioration of lymphocyte number and function, and inadequate stress erythropoiesis. Better strategies are required to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from targeted therapies.

Abstract
Intensive care unit (ICU) anemia is an extreme version of anemia of inflammation that occurs commonly in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Currently available therapies for ICU anemia have shown inconsistent efficacies in clinical trials. We conducted a systematic study of the effects of early versus delayed iron (Fe) and/or erythropoietin (EPO) therapy in our previously characterized mouse model of ICU anemia based on an injection of heat-killed Brucella abortus. To study the effects of ongoing inflammation on the response to therapy, inflamed wild-type (WT) and hepcidin knockout (HKO) mice were treated at either early (days 1 and 2) or delayed (days 7 and 8) time points after the inflammatory stimulus. In the early treatment group, Fe and/or EPO therapy did not increase hemoglobin (Hgb) levels or reticulocyte production in either the inflamed WT or HKO groups. In the delayed treatment group, combination Fe + EPO therapy did increase Hgb and reticulocyte production in WT mice (mean ΔHgb in WT saline group -9.2 g/dL vs. Fe/EPO -5.5 g/dL; P < 0.001). The HKO mice in the delayed treatment group did not improve their Hgb, but HKO mice in all treatment groups developed a milder anemia than the WT mice. Our findings indicate that combination Fe + EPO therapy is effective in partially reversing ICU anemia when administered after the phase of acute inflammation. Hepcidin ablation alone was more effective in attenuating ICU anemia than Fe + EPO therapy, which indicates the potential of antihepcidin therapeutics in treating ICU anemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia occurring as a result of inflammatory processes (anemia of inflammation, AI) has a high prevalence in critically ill patients. Knowledge on changes in iron metabolism during the course of AI is limited, hampering the development of strategies to counteract AI. This case control study aimed to investigate iron metabolism during the development of AI in critically ill patients. METHODS Iron metabolism in 30 patients who developed AI during ICU stay was compared with 30 septic patients with a high Hb and 30 non-septic patients with a high Hb. Patients were matched on age and sex. Longitudinally collected plasma samples were analyzed for levels of parameters of iron metabolism. A linear mixed model was used to assess the predictive values of the parameters. RESULTS In patients with AI, levels of iron, transferrin and transferrin saturation showed an early decrease compared to controls with a high Hb, already prior to the development of anemia. Ferritin, hepcidin and IL-6 levels were increased in AI compared to controls. During AI development, erythroferrone decreased. Differences in iron metabolism between groups were not influenced by APACHE IV score. CONCLUSIONS The results show that in critically ill patients with AI, iron metabolism is already altered prior to the development of anemia. Levels of iron regulators in AI differ from septic controls with a high Hb, irrespective of disease severity. AI is characterized by high levels of hepcidin, ferritin and IL-6 and low levels of iron, transferrin and erythroferrone.

Abstract
Despite being the leading cause of death in the United States for individuals 46 years and younger and the primary cause of death among military service members, trauma care research has been underfunded for the last 50 years. Sustained federal funding for a coordinated national trauma clinical research program is required to advance the science of caring for the injured. The Department of Defense is committed to funding studies with military relevance; therefore, it cannot fund pediatric or geriatric trauma clinical trials. Currently, trauma clinical trials are often performed within a single site or a small group of trauma hospitals, and research data are not available for secondary analysis or sharing across studies. Data-sharing platforms encourage transfer of research data and knowledge between civilian and military researchers, reduce redundancy, and maximize limited research funding. In collaboration with the Department of Defense, trauma researchers formed the Coalition for National Trauma Research (CNTR) in 2014 to advance trauma research in a coordinated effort. CNTR's member organizations are the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT), the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST), the Western Trauma Association (WTA), and the National Trauma Institute (NTI). CNTR advocates for sustained federal funding for a multidisciplinary national trauma research program to be conducted through a large clinical trials network and a national trauma research repository. The initial advocacy and research activities underway to accomplish these goals are presented.

Abstract
Sympathetic nervous system activation and catecholamine release are important events following injury and infection. The nature and timing of different pathophysiologic insults have significant effects on adrenergic pathways, inflammatory mediators, and the host response. Beta adrenergic receptor blockers (β-blockers) are commonly used for treatment of cardiovascular disease, and recent data suggests that the metabolic and immunomodulatory effects of β-blockers can expand their use. β-blocker therapy can reduce sympathetic activation and hypermetabolism as well as modify glucose homeostasis and cytokine expression. It is the purpose of this review to examine either the biologic basis for proposed mechanisms or to describe current available clinical evidence for the use of β-blockers in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, hemorrhagic shock, acute traumatic coagulopathy, erythropoietic dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction, pulmonary dysfunction, burns, immunomodulation, and sepsis.

Abstract
Background Post-operative anaemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Positive effects of post-operative intravenous iron (IVI) after elective orthopaedic, abdominal and genitourinary surgery have been reported. The current observational trial investigated the prevalence of post-operative anaemia, the effect of IVI on haemoglobin levels, the use of blood transfusions and diagnoses related to infections. Methods 1,265 patients on five ICUs of Münster University Hospital were screened for post-operative anaemia. On one ICU, patients were screened for iron deficiency and, if indicated, supplemented with 500 mg of ferric carboxymaltose. Primary outcome measures were haemoglobin levels, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, transfusion requirements, documented infection and antibiotic treatment. Results Anaemia was prevalent in 86.2% of patients upon ICU admission. 429 patients were screened for iron deficiency anaemia. 95 patients were eligible, 35 were treated with IVI. An increase of +0.4 g/dl in Hb levels 7 days after IVI compared to -0.1 g/dl in non-treated anaemic patients was observed. The number of RBC transfusions, ICD codes related to infections and infectious parameters were similar between groups. Conclusions: IVI treatment was safe and resulted in higher median Hb levels. Randomized controlled trials are required to support the hypotheses of this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia and vitamin D deficiency are highly prevalent in critical illness, and vitamin D status has been associated with hemoglobin concentrations in epidemiologic studies. We examined the effect of high-dose vitamin D therapy on hemoglobin and hepcidin concentrations in critically ill adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mechanically ventilated critically ill adults (N = 30) enrolled in a pilot double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of high-dose vitamin D3 (D3 ) were included in this analysis. Participants were randomized to receive placebo, 50,000 IU D3 , or 100,000 IU D3 daily for 5 days (totaling 250,000 IU D3 and 500,000 IU D3 , respectively). Blood was drawn weekly throughout hospitalization for up to 4 weeks. Linear mixed-effects models were used to assess change in hemoglobin and hepcidin concentrations by treatment group over time. RESULTS At enrollment, >75% of participants in all groups had plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations <30 ng/mL, and >85% of participants across groups were anemic. In the 500,000-IU D3 group, hemoglobin concentrations increased significantly over time (Pgroup × time = .01) compared with placebo but did not change in the 250,000-IU D3 group (Pgroup × time = 0.59). Hepcidin concentrations decreased acutely in the 500,000-IU D3 group relative to placebo after 1 week (P = .007). Hepcidin did not change significantly in the 250,000-IU D3 group. CONCLUSION In these critically ill adults, treatment with 500,000 IU D3 was associated with increased hemoglobin concentrations over time and acutely reduced serum hepcidin concentrations. These findings suggest that high-dose vitamin D may improve iron metabolism in critical illness and should be confirmed in larger studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are often anaemic due to blood loss, impaired red blood cell (RBC) production and increased RBC destruction. In some studies, more than half of the patients were treated with RBC transfusion. During storage, the RBC and the storage medium undergo changes, which lead to impaired transportation and delivery of oxygen and may also promote an inflammatory response. Divergent results on the clinical consequences of storage have been reported in both observational studies and randomised trials. Therefore, we aim to gather and review the present evidence to assess the effects of shorter vs. longer storage time of transfused RBCs for ICU patients. METHODS We will conduct a systematic review with meta-analyses and trial sequential analyses of randomised clinical trials, and also include results of severe adverse events from large observational studies. Participants will be adult patients admitted to an ICU and treated with shorter vs. longer stored RBC units. We will systematically search the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, BIOSIS, CINAHL and Science Citation Index for relevant literature, and we will follow the recommendation by the Cochrane Collaboration and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemtic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA)-statement. We will assess the risk of bias and random errors, and we will use the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to evaluate the overall quality of evidence. CONCLUSION We need a high-quality systematic review to summarise the clinical consequences of RBC storage time among ICU patients.

Abstract
Anemia is common in the intensive care unit (ICU), resulting in frequent administration of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Significant advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of anemia in the ICU, which is anemia of inflammation. This anemia is related to high hepcidin concentrations resulting in iron-restricted erythropoiesis, and decreased erythropoietin concentrations. A new hormone (erythroferrone) has been identified, which mediates hepcidin suppression to allow increased iron absorption and mobilization from iron stores. RBC transfusions are most commonly administered to ICU patients for treatment of anemia. All strategies to reduce anemia in the ICU should be implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative and critically ill patients are often exposed to iron (in the form of parenteral-iron administration or blood transfusion) and inflammatory stimuli, but the effects of iron loading on the inflammatory response are unclear. Recent data suggest that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species have an important role in the innate immune response and that increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production is a result of dysfunctional mitochondria. We tested the hypothesis that increased intracellular iron potentiates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation by increasing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species levels. METHODS Murine macrophage cells were incubated with iron and then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. C57BL/6 wild-type mice were intraperitoneally injected with iron and then with lipopolysaccharide. Markers of inflammation and mitochondrial superoxide production were examined. Mitochondrial homeostasis (the balance between mitochondrial biogenesis and destruction) was assessed, as were mitochondrial mass and the proportion of nonfunctional to total mitochondria. RESULTS Iron loading of mice and cells potentiated the inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide. Iron loading increased mitochondrial superoxide production. Treatment with MitoTEMPO, a mitochondria-specific antioxidant, blunted the proinflammatory effects of iron loading. Iron loading increased mitochondrial mass in cells treated with lipopolysaccharide and increased the proportion of nonfunctional mitochondria. Iron loading also altered mitochondrial homeostasis to favor increased production of mitochondria. CONCLUSIONS Acute iron loading potentiates the inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide, at least in part by disrupting mitochondrial homeostasis and increasing the production of mitochondrial superoxide. Improved understanding of iron homeostasis in the context of acute inflammation may yield innovative therapeutic approaches in perioperative and critically ill patients.

Daily propranolol administration reduces persistent injury-associated anemia after severe trauma and chronic stress. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2017; 82:714-721.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After severe trauma, patients develop a norepinephrine-mediated persistent, injury-associated anemia. This anemia is associated with suppression of bone marrow (BM) erythroid colony growth, along with decreased iron levels, and elevated erythropoietin (EPO) levels, which are insufficient to promote effective erythropoiesis. The impact of norepinephrine on iron regulators, such as ferroportin, transferrin, and transferrin receptor-1 (TFR-1), is unknown. Using a clinically relevant rodent model of lung contusion (LC), hemorrhagic shock (HS), and chronic stress (CS), we hypothesize that daily propranolol (BB), a nonselective β blocker, restores BM function and improves iron homeostasis. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to LCHS ± BB and LCHS/CS ± BB. BB was achieved with propranolol (10 mg/kg) daily until the day of sacrifice. Hemoglobin, plasma EPO, plasma hepcidin, BM cellularity and BM erythroid colony growth were assessed. RNA was isolated to measure transferrin, TFR-1 and ferroportin expression. Data are presented as mean ± SD; *p < 0.05 versus untreated counterpart by t test. RESULTS The addition of CS to LCHS leads to persistent anemia on posttrauma day 7, while the addition of BB improved hemoglobin levels (LCHS/CS: 10.6 ± 0.8 vs. LCHS/CS + BB: 13.9 ± 0.4* g/dL). Daily BB use after LCHS/CS improved BM cellularity, colony-forming units granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte megakaryocyte, burst-forming unit erythroid and colony-forming unit erythroid cell colony growth. LCHS/CS + BB significantly reduced plasma EPO levels and increased plasma hepcidin levels on day 7. The addition of CS to LCHS resulted in decreased liver ferroportin expression as well as decreased BM transferrin and TFR-1 expression, thus, blocking iron supply to erythroid cells. However, daily BB after LCHS/CS improved expression of all iron regulators. CONCLUSION Daily propranolol administration after LCHS/CS restored BM function and improved anemia after severe trauma. In addition, iron regulators are significantly reduced after LCHS/CS, which may contribute to iron restriction after injury. However, daily propranolol administration after LCHS/CS improved iron homeostasis.

Characterization of erythropoietin and hepcidin in the regulation of persistent injury-associated anemia. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2017; 81:705-12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cause of persistent injury-associated anemia is multifactorial and includes acute blood loss, an altered erythropoietin (EPO) response, dysregulation of iron homeostasis, and impaired erythropoiesis in the setting of chronic inflammation/stress. Hepcidin plays a key role in iron homeostasis and is regulated by anemia and inflammation. Erythropoietin is a main regulator of erythropoiesis induced by hypoxia. A unique rodent model of combined lung injury (LC)/hemorrhagic shock (HS) (LCHS)/chronic restraint stress (CS) was used to produce persistent injury-associated anemia to further investigate the roles of EPO, hepcidin, iron, ferritin, and the expression of EPO receptors (EPOr). METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into one of the four groups of rodent models: naive, CS alone, combined LCHS, or LCHS/CS. Plasma was used to evaluate levels of EPO, hepcidin, iron, and ferritin. RNA was isolated from bone marrow and lung tissue to evaluate expression of EPOr. Comparisons between models were performed by t tests followed by one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS After 7 days, only LCHS/CS was associated with persistent anemia despite significant elevation of plasma EPO. Combined LCHS and LCHS/CS led to a persistent decrease in EPOr expression in bone marrow on Day 7. The LCHS/CS significantly decreased plasma hepcidin levels by 75% on Day 1 and 84% on Day 7 compared to LCHS alone. Hepcidin plasma levels are inversely proportional to EPO plasma levels (Pearson R = -0.362, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Tissue injury, hemorrhagic shock, and stress stimulate and maintain high levels of plasma EPO while hepcidin levels are decreased. In addition, bone marrow EPOr and plasma iron availability are significantly reduced following LCHS/CS. The combined deficit of reduced iron availability and reduced bone marrow EPOr expression may play a key role in the ineffective EPO response associated with persistent injury-associated anemia.

Abstract
Sepsis is a major growing global burden and a major challenge to intensive care clinicians, researchers, guideline committee members and policy makers, because of its high and increasing incidence and great pathophysiological, molecular, genetic and clinical complexity. In spite of recent progress, short-term mortality remains high and there is growing evidence of long-term morbidity and increased long-term mortality in survivors of sepsis both in developed and developing countries. Further improvement in the care of patients with sepsis will impact upon global health. In this narrative review, invited experts describe the expected challenges and progress to be made in the near future. We focus on diagnosis, resuscitation (fluids, vasopressors, inotropes, blood transfusion and hemodynamic targets) and infection (antibiotics and infection biomarkers), as these areas are key, if initial management and subsequent outcomes are to be improved in patients with sepsis.
