Stroke Vasc Neurol 2024:svn-2023-002644. [PMID: 38789134 DOI: 10.1136/svn-2023-002644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is high in patients suffering from ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or with vascular risk factors. Effective prevention strategies for VCI remain limited. Anaemia or low haemoglobin was found as an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes after acute stroke. Anaemia or low haemoglobin was possibly associated with an increased risk of poststroke cognitive impairment. Whether supplement of ferrous iron to correct anaemia reduces the risk of VCI and improves adverse outcomes in patients with ischaemic cerebrovascular disease remains uncertain. AIM We aim to introduce the design and rationale of the safety and efficacy of Ferrous iron on the prevention of Vascular cOgnitive impaiRment in patients with cerebral Infarction or TIA (FAVORITE) trial. DESIGN FAVORITE is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicentre trial that compares supplement of ferrous iron with placebo for recent minor stroke/TIA patients complicated with mild anaemia or iron deficiency: Ferrous succinate sustained-release tablet 0.2 g (corresponding to 70 mg of elemental iron) once daily after or during breakfast for 12 weeks or placebo with much the same colour, smell and size as ferrous iron once daily during or after breakfast for 12 weeks. All paticipants will be followed within the next year. STUDY OUTCOMES The primary effective outcome is the incidence of VCI at 3 months after randomisation and the primary safety outcome includes any gastrointestinal adverse event during 3 months. DISCUSSION The FAVORITE trial will clarify whether supplement of ferrous iron to correct low haemoglobin reduces the risk of VCI in patients with recent ischaemic stroke or TIA complicated with mild anaemia or iron deficiency compared with placebo. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03891277.

Abstract
In chronic heart failure, dilutional anemia and hypervolemia may occur due to plasma volume expansion, the latter sometimes exacerbated by an increase in red cell volume. Diagnosis and a therapeutic strategy require determination of vascular volumes.

Abstract
Absolute total hemoglobin mass (tHbmass) and blood compartment volumes are often considered to be higher in endurance athletes compared with nonathletes, yet little data support a fitness effect in older age. Therefore, we measured tHbmass and blood compartment volumes (carbon monoxide rebreathing) in 77 healthy individuals (23% female; aged, 60-87 yr). Participants were recruited into groups based upon their lifelong (>25 yr) exercise "dose": 1) 15 sedentary individuals, <2 sessions/wk; 2) 25 casual exercisers, 2-3 sessions/wk; 3) 24 committed exercisers, 4-5 sessions/wk; and 4) 13 competitive Masters athletes, 6-7 sessions/wk, plus regular competitions. Absolute (L/min) and relative (mL/kg/min) V̇o2peak were higher with increasing exercise "dose" (P = 0.0005 and P < 0.0001, respectively). Hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, and absolute tHbmass and blood compartment volumes were not significantly different between groups (all, P > 0.1328). When scaled to body mass, tHbmass (Sedentary, 9.2 ± 1.7 mL/kg; Casual, 9.2 ± 1.3; Committed, 10.2 ± 1.4; Competitive, 11.5 ± 1.4, ANOVA P < 0.0001) and blood volume were significantly different between groups [Sedentary, 63.4 (59.2-68.5) mL/kg; Casual, 67.3 (64.4-72.6); Committed, 73.5 (67.5-80.2); Competitive, 83.4 (78.9-88.6), ANOVA P < 0.0001], whereby all values were highest in Masters athletes. However, when scaled to fat-free mass (FFM), tHbmass and blood compartment volumes were greater in Competitive compared with Casual exercisers (all, P < 0.0340) and tHbmass and erythrocyte volume were also higher in Committed compared with Casual exercisers (both, P < 0.0134). In conclusion, absolute tHbmass and blood compartment volumes are not different between groups, with dose-dependent differences only among exercisers when scaled for FFM, with the highest tHbmass and blood compartment volumes in competitive Masters athletes.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We observed that absolute oxygen carrying capacity (total hemoglobin mass, tHbmass) and blood compartment volumes were not associated with lifelong exercise dose. However, hematological adaptations associated with lifelong habitual exercise are only present among exercisers, whereby competitive Masters athletes have a greater oxygen carrying capacity (tHbmass) and expanded blood compartment volumes when scaled to fat-free mass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a frequent symptom in colorectal cancer survivors. It is unknown to what extent anemia may contribute to CRF in colorectal cancer survivors. This study aimed to investigate the association between hematocrit, as marker for anemia, and CRF among colorectal cancer survivors from diagnosis until two years thereafter. METHODS The study population included 1,506 newly diagnosed colorectal cancer survivors at any stage of disease from a prospective cohort study. Hematocrit and CRF (EORTC QLQ-C30) were assessed at diagnosis, six months, and two years after diagnosis. Multivariable logistic regression or multivariable linear mixed models were used to assess the associations of hematocrit with CRF prevalence, or CRF severity over time, respectively. RESULTS A low hematocrit (levels <40% men/<36% women) was present in a third of the survivors at diagnosis and six months thereafter, and among 16% two years after diagnosis. The prevalence of CRF was 15% at diagnosis, peaked at 27% at six months, and was 14% two years after diagnosis. Hematocrit was associated with the prevalence of CRF at diagnosis [OR, 0.92; confidence interval (CI), 0.88-0.95], 6 months (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.86-0.92), and 2 years (OR, 0.91; CI, 0.87-0.96) after diagnosis. Lower hematocrit was associated with higher severity of CRF over time (beta-coefficient = 1.3; CI, 1.5-1.1). CONCLUSIONS Lower hematocrit levels were longitudinally associated with a higher prevalence and severity of CRF in colorectal cancer. IMPACT Our findings emphasize the importance of long-term anemia monitoring and a potential role of anemia in CRF among colorectal cancer survivors.

Abstract
Duplicate measure of hemoglobin mass by carbon monoxide (CO)-rebreathing is a logistical challenge as recommendations prompt several hours between measures to minimize CO-accumulation. This study investigated the feasibility and reliability of performing duplicate CO-rebreathing procedures immediately following one another. Additionally, it was evaluated whether the obtained hemoglobin mass from three different CO-rebreathing devices is comparable. Fifty-five healthy participants (22 males, 23 females) performed 222 duplicate CO-rebreathing procedures in total. Additionally, in a randomized cross-over design 10 participants completed three experimental trials, each including three CO-rebreathing procedures, with the first and second separated by 24 h and the second and third separated by 5-10 min. Each trial was separated by >48 h and conducted using either a glass-spirometer, a semi-automated electromechanical device, or a standard three-way plastic valve designed for pulmonary measurements. Hemoglobin mass was 3 ± 22 g lower (p < 0.05) at the second measure when performed immediately after the first with a typical error of 1.1%. Carboxyhemoglobin levels reached 10.9 ± 1.3%. In the randomized trial, hemoglobin mass was similar between the glass-spirometer and three-way valve, but ∼6% (∼50 g) higher for the semi-automated device. Notably, differences in hemoglobin mass were up to ∼13% (∼100 g) when device-specific recommendations for correction of CO loss to myoglobin and exhalation was followed. In conclusion, it is feasible and reliable to perform two immediate CO-rebreathing procedures. Hemoglobin mass is comparable between the glass-spirometer and the three-way plastic valve, but higher for the semi-automated device. The differences are amplified if the device-specific recommendations of CO-loss corrections are followed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) in the perioperative setting should be interpreted in the context of the variables and processes that may affect it to differentiate the dilution effects caused by changes in intravascular volume. However, it is unclear what variables and processes affect [Hb]. Here, we modeled the perioperative variations in [Hb] to identify the variables and processes that govern [Hb] and to describe their effects. METHODS We first constructed a mechanistic framework based on the main variables and processes related to the perioperative [Hb] variations. We then prospectively studied patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, divided into 2 consecutive cohorts for the development and validation of the model. The study protocol consisted of serial measurements of [Hb] along with recordings of hemoglobin mass loss, blood volume loss, fluid infusion, urine volume, and inflammatory biomarkers measurements, up to 96 hours postoperatively. Mathematical fitting was performed using nonlinear mixed-effects. Additionally, we performed simulations to explore the effects of blood loss and fluid therapy protocols on [Hb]. RESULTS We studied 154 patients: 118 enrolled in the development group and 36 in the validation group. We characterized the perioperative course of [Hb] using a mass balance model that accounted for hemoglobin losses during surgery, and a 2-compartment model that estimated fluid kinetics and intravascular volume changes. During model development, we found that urinary fluid elimination represented only 24% of the total fluid elimination, and that total fluid elimination was inhibited after surgery in a time-dependent manner and influenced by age. Also, covariate evaluation showed a significant association between the type of surgery and proportion of fluid eliminated via urine. In contrast, neither the type of infused solution, blood volume loss nor inflammatory biomarkers were found to correlate with model parameters. In the validation analysis, the model demonstrated a considerable predictive capacity, with 95% of the predicted [Hb] within -4.4 and +5.5 g/L. Simulations demonstrated that hemoglobin mass loss determined most of the postoperative changes in [Hb], while intravascular volume changes due to fluid infusion, distribution, and elimination induced smaller but clinically relevant variations. Simulated patients receiving standard fluid therapy protocols exhibited a hemodilution effect that resulted in a [Hb] decrease between 7 and 15 g/L at the end of surgery, and which was responsible for the lowest [Hb] value during the perioperative period. CONCLUSIONS Our model provides a mechanistic and quantitative understanding of the causes underlying the perioperative [Hb] variations.

Abstract
Objectives: This exploratory study aimed to identify the potential non-linear relationship between hemoglobin (Hgb) and cognition among cognitively normal older adults and how this relationship differs in terms of gender in generalized additive models (GAM). Methods: This is a secondary data analysis using Wave II (2010-2011) data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. A generalized additive model was used to understand the non-linear relationship between Hgb and cognition, and to identify critical Hgb point related to cognition. Results: While both genders had a non-linear association between Hgb and cognition, the degree of non-linearity was more pronounced in male older adults with EDF value close to 2. The inflection point of 15.10 g/dL for male older adults and inflection point of 11.72 g/dL for female older adults were obtained. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to validate these results and develop precision medicine approaches to integrate these results into clinical practice.

Abstract
Blood volume (BV) is an important clinical parameter and is usually reported per kg of body mass (BM). When fat mass is elevated, this underestimates BV/BM. One aim was to study if differences in BV/BM related to sex, age, and fitness would decrease if normalized to lean body mass (LBM). The analysis included 263 women and 319 men (age: 10-93 years, body mass index: 14-41 kg/m2 ) and 107 athletes who underwent assessment of BV and hemoglobin mass (Hbmass ), body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness. BV/BM was 25% lower (70.3 ± 11.3 and 80.3 ± 10.8 mL/kgBM ) in women than men, respectively, whereas BV/LBM was 6% higher in women (110.9 ± 12.5 and 105.3 ± 11.2 mL/kgLBM ). Hbmass /BM was 34% lower (8.9 ± 1.4 and 11.5 ± 11.2 g/kgBM ) in women than in men, respectively, but only 6% lower (14.0 ± 1.5 and 14.9 ± 1.5 g/kgLBM )/LBM. Age did not affect BV. Athlete's BV/BM was 17.2% higher than non-athletes, but decreased to only 2.5% when normalized to LBM. Of the variables analyzed, LBM was the strongest predictor for BV (R2 = .72, p < .001) and Hbmass (R2 = .81, p < .001). These data may only be valid for BV/Hbmass when assessed by CO re-breathing. Hbmass /LBM could be considered a valuable clinical matrix in medical care aiming to normalize blood homeostasis.

Intravascular volumes and the influence on anemia assessed by a carbon monoxide rebreathing method in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Hemodial Int 2024; 28:40-50. [PMID: 37827985 DOI: 10.1111/hdi.13118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fluid overload is a major challenge in hemodialysis patients and might cause hypervolemia. We speculated that hemodialysis patients reaching dry weight could have undetected hypervolemia and low hemoglobin (Hb) concentration (g/dL) due to hemodilution. METHODS The study included hemodialysis patients (n = 22) and matched healthy controls (n = 22). Blood volume, plasma volume, red blood cell volume, and total Hb mass were determined using a carbon monoxide (CO)-rebreathing method in hemodialysis patients reaching dry weight and controls. Blood volume measurements were also obtained by a dual-isotope labeling technique in a subgroup for validation purposes. FINDINGS In the hemodialysis group, the median specific blood volume was 89.3 mL/kg (interquartile range [IQR]: 76.7-95.4 mL/kg) and was higher than in the control group (79.9 mL/kg [IQR: 70.4-88.0 mL/kg]; p < 0.037). The median specific plasma volume was 54.7 mL/kg (IQR: 47.1-61.0 mL/kg) and 44.0 mL/kg (IQR: 38.7-49.5 mL/kg) in the hemodialysis and control groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Hb concentration was lower in hemodialysis patients (p < 0.001), whereas no difference in total Hb mass was observed between groups (p = 0.11). A correlation was found between blood volume measured by the CO-rebreathing test and the dual-isotope labeling technique in the control group (r = 0.83, p = 0.015), but not the hemodialysis group (r = 0.25, p = 0.60). DISCUSSION The hemodialysis group had increased specific blood volume at dry weight due to high plasma volume, suggesting a hypervolemic state. However, correlation was not established against the dual-isotope labeling technique underlining that the precision of the CO-rebreathing test should be further validated. The total Hb mass was similar between hemodialysis patients and controls, unlike Hb concentration, which emphasizes that Hb concentration is an inaccurate marker of anemia among hemodialysis patients.

Wen Z, Long J, Zhu L, Liu S, Zeng X, Huang D, Qiu X, Su L. Associations of dietary, sociodemographic, and anthropometric factors with anemia among the Zhuang ethnic adults: a cross-sectional study in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.

[PMID: 37803356 PMCID: PMC10557179 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-023-16697-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND After decades of rapid economic development, anemia remains a significant public health challenge globally. This study aimed to estimate the associations of sociodemographic, dietary, and body composition factors with anemia among the Zhuang in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. METHODS Our study population from the baseline survey of the Guangxi ethnic minority Cohort Study of Chronic Diseases consisted of 13,465 adults (6,779 women and 6,686 men) aged 24-82 years. A validated interviewer-administered laptop-based questionnaire system was used to collect information on participants' sociodemographic, lifestyle, and dietary factors. Each participant underwent a physical examination, and hematological indices were measured. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select the variables, and logistic regression was applied to estimate the associations of independent risk factors with anemia. RESULTS The overall prevalences of anemia in men and women were 9.63% (95% CI: 8.94-10.36%) and 18.33% (95% CI: 17.42─19.28%), respectively. LASSO and logistic regression analyses showed that age was positively associated with anemia for both women and men. For diet in women, red meat consumption for 5-7 days/week (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.65-0.98, p = 0.0290) and corn/sweet potato consumption for 5-7 days/week (OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.55-0.96, p = 0.0281) were negatively associated with anemia. For men, fruit consumption for 5-7 days/week (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.94, p = 0.0130) and corn/sweet potato consumption for 5-7 days/week (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46-0.91, p = 0.0136) were negatively correlated with anemia. Compared with a normal body water percentage (55-65%), a body water percentage below normal (< 55%) was negatively related to anemia (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53-0.86, p = 0.0014). Conversely, a body water percentage above normal (> 65%) was positively correlated with anemia in men (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.38-2.17, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Anemia remains a moderate public health problem for premenopausal women and the elderly population in the Guangxi Zhuang minority region. The prevention of anemia at the population level requires multifaceted intervention measures according to sex and age, with a focus on dietary factors and the control of body composition.

Abstract
Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) is used for the clinical diagnosis of anemia, and in sports as a marker of blood doping. [Hb] is however subject to significant variations mainly due to shifts in plasma volume (PV). This study proposes a newly developed model able to accurately predict total hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and PV from a single complete blood count (CBC) and anthropometric variables in healthy subject. Seven hundred and sixty-nine CBC coupled to measures of Hbmass and PV using a CO-rebreathing method were used with a machine learning tool to calculate an estimation model. The predictive model resulted in a root mean square error of 33.2 g and 35.6 g for Hbmass, and 179 mL and 244 mL for PV, in women and men, respectively. Measured and predicted data were significantly correlated (p < 0.001) with a coefficient of determination (R2 ) ranging from 0.76 to 0.90 for Hbmass and PV, in both women and men. The Bland-Altman bias was on average 0.23 for Hbmass and 4.15 for PV. We herewith present a model with a robust prediction potential for Hbmass and PV. Such model would be relevant in providing complementary data in contexts such as the epidemiology of anemia or the individual monitoring of [Hb] in anti-doping.

[PMID: 36813604 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2023.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of hematocrit for monitoring fluid resuscitation of burn patients in the acute phase of their care. METHOD We conducted a single-center retrospective study focused on patients admitted with a burn surface of more than 20 % of the total body surface area (TBSA) from 2014 to 2021. We investigated the relationship between the change in hematocrit and the volume administered for patient resuscitation. The change in hematocrit is the difference between an admission hematocrit and a second one taken between the eighth and twenty-fourth hour. RESULTS We included 230 patients with an average burn size of 39.1 ± 20.3 % TBSA, in 94.4 % by a thermal mechanism. The management seems to be in accordance with the current recommendations, with a volume administered during the first 24 h of 4.3 ± 2.5 ml/kg/ % BSA, allowing to obtain an hourly diuresis of 0.9 ± 0.7 ml/kg/h. We did not find any correlation between the pre-hospital volume administration and the hematocrit at admission (p = 0.36). Hematocrit decreased on average to -4.5 ± 8.1 % between admission and a control performed after the 8th hour. This decrease was weakly correlated with the volumes infused between the two samples (r2 =0.13, p < 0.001). A resuscitation above 5.2 ml/kg/ % Burn surface area is an independent factor for excess mortality. CONCLUSION Hematocrit or its variations in our limited data base appears to not reliably detect over-resuscitation, therefore it is possible that it may not be a relevant marker. These conclusions should be clarified in a multi-institutional prospective or real-world analysis to validate the findings and null hypothesis.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing before and after intravenous iron in preoperative patients: a prospective clinical study. Perioper Med (Lond) 2023; 12:31. [PMID: 37400931 DOI: 10.1186/s13741-023-00319-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia is associated with impaired physical performance and adverse perioperative outcomes. Iron-deficiency anemia is increasingly treated with intravenous iron before elective surgery. We explored the relationship between exercise capacity, anemia, and total hemoglobin mass (tHb-mass) and the response to intravenous iron in anemic patients prior to surgery. METHODS A prospective clinical study was undertaken in patients having routine cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with a hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) < 130 g.l-1 and iron deficiency/depletion. Patients underwent CPET and tHb-mass measurements before and a minimum of 14 days after receiving intravenous (i.v.) Ferric derisomaltose (Monofer®) at the baseline visit. Comparative analysis of hematological and CPET variables was performed pre and post-iron treatment. RESULTS Twenty-six subjects were recruited, of whom 6 withdrew prior to study completion. The remaining 20 (9 [45%] male; mean ± SD age 68 ± 10 years) were assessed 25 ± 7 days between baseline and the final visit. Following i.v. iron, increases were seen in [Hb] (mean ± SD) from 109 ± 14 to 116 ± 12 g l-1 (mean rise 6.4% or 7.3 g l-1, p = < 0.0001, 95% CI 4.5-10.1); tHb-mass from 497 ± 134 to 546 ± 139 g (mean rise 9.3% or 49 g, p = < 0.0001, 95% CI 29.4-69.2). Oxygen consumption at anerobic threshold ([Formula: see text] O2 AT) did not change (9.1 ± 1.7 to 9.8 ± 2.5 ml kg-1 min-1, p = 0.09, 95% CI - 0.13 - 1.3). Peak oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text] O2 peak) increased from 15.2 ± 4.1 to 16 ± 4.4 ml.kg.-1 min-1, p = 0.02, 95% CI 0.2-1.8) and peak work rate increased from 93 [67-112] watts to 96 [68-122] watts (p = 0.02, 95% CI 1.3-10.8). CONCLUSION Preoperative administration of intravenous iron to iron-deficient/deplete anemic patients is associated with increases in [Hb], tHb-mass, peak oxygen consumption, and peak work rate. Further appropriately powered prospective studies are required to ascertain whether improvements in tHb-mass and performance in turn lead to reductions in perioperative morbidity. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT 033 46213.

Drinking recommended daily water significantly alters haemato-biochemical parameters in prospective blood donors; a one-center quasi-experimental study in a tropical setting. Blood Cells Mol Dis 2023; 102:102757. [PMID: 37267697 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcmd.2023.102757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevailing high ambient temperatures should warrant increased daily water intake (DWI) to prevent haemo-concentration and its potential to confound patients' laboratory data. AIM To assess the impact that the recommended DWI has on the haemato-biochemical variables in a tropical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS This quasi-experimental study recruited 101 apparently healthy individuals (18-60 years) in the Bawku municipality. DWI, anthropometrics, and haemato-biochemical variables were assessed at baseline. Participants were encouraged to increase their DWI to ≥4 L over a 30-day period; haemato-biochemical variables were re-evaluated. Total body water (TBW) was anthropometrically estimated. RESULTS The median post-treatment DWI significantly increased; consequently, anaemia cases increased by >20-fold (2.0 % vs 47.5 % post-treatment). RBC count, platelet count, WBC count, and median haemoglobin significantly decreased compared to baseline (p < 0.0001). Biochemically, median plasma osmolality (p < 0.0001), serum sodium (p < 0.0001), serum potassium (p = 0.0012) and random blood sugar (p = 0.0403) significantly decreased. Compared to baseline, significantly higher proportion of participants classified as thrombocytopenic (8.9 % vs 3.0 %), hyponatraemia (10.9 % vs 2.0 %), or normal osmolarity (77.2 % vs 20.8 %). There were differential bivariate correlations between pre- and post-treatment haemato-biochemical variables. CONCLUSION Sub-optimal DWI is a likely confounder in haemato-biochemical data interpretation in the tropics.

Abstract
We examined whether a semi-automated carbon monoxide (CO) rebreathing method accurately detect changes in blood volume (BV) and total hemoglobin mass (tHb). Furthermore, we investigated whether a supine position with legs raised reduced systemic CO dilution time, potentially allowing a shorter rebreathing period. Nineteen young healthy males participated. BV and tHb was quantified by a 10-min CO-rebreathing period in a supine position with legs raised before and immediately after a 900 ml phlebotomy and before and after a 900 ml autologous blood reinfusion on the same day in 16 subjects. During the first CO-rebreathing, arterial and venous blood samples were drawn every 2 min during the procedure to determine systemic CO equilibrium in all subjects. Phlebotomy decreased (P < 0.001) tHb and BV by 166 ± 24 g and 931 ± 247 ml, respectively, while reinfusion increased (P < 0.001) tHb and BV by 143 ± 21 g and 862 ± 250 ml compared to before reinfusion. After reinfusion BV did not differ from baseline levels while tHb was decreased (P < 0.001) by 36 ± 21 g. Complete CO mixing was achieved within 6 min in venous and arterial blood, respectively, when compared to the 10-min sample. On an individual level, the relative accuracy after donation for tHb and BV was 102-169% and 55-165%, respectively. The applied CO-rebreathing procedure precisely detect acute BV changes with a clinically insignificant margin of error. The 10-min CO-procedure may be reduced to 6 min with no clinical effects on BV and tHb calculation. Notwithstanding, individual differences may be of concern and should be investigated further.

Abstract
Hemoglobin variability is known to increase cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease, but the association of hemoglobin variability with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population is yet unclear. This retrospective cohort study based on 'the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database' consisted of 198,347 adults who went through all three health examinations. Hemoglobin variability is defined as the average successive variability of three separate hemoglobin values from each health screening period. Participants were followed up for 6 years to determine the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. We used multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression to examine the adjusted hazard ratios for CVD according to hemoglobin variability. Per 1 unit increase of hemoglobin variability, the risk for CVD (aHR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.09) and stroke (aHR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.13) increased significantly. The risk-increasing trend was preserved in the low-to-moderate risk group of CVDs (aHR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.11). This result suggests that subjects with high hemoglobin variability who would otherwise be categorized as having low-to-moderate CVD risk may have higher risk of CVD than those with low hemoglobin variability.

Front Physiol 2022; 13:1021588. [PMID: 36505074 PMCID: PMC9730879 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.1021588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Haemoglobin mass (Hbmass) assessment with the carbon monoxide rebreathing method is a more accurate estimate than other measures of oxygen-carrying capacity. Blood may be collected by several means and differences in the measured variables may exist as a result. The present study assessed the validity and reliability of calculated Hbmass and intravascular volumes obtained from capillary blood (CAP) when compared to venous blood (VEN) draws. Methods: Twenty-two adults performed a carbon monoxide rebreathing procedure with paired VEN and CAP draws at baseline, pre-rebreathing and post-rebreathing (POST). Thirteen of these participants performed this protocol on two occasions to assess the data reliability from both blood sampling sites. In a second experiment, 14 adults performed a 20-min seated and a 20-min supine rest to assess for the effect of posture on haematological parameters. Results: Haemoglobin mass (CAP = 948.8 ± 156.8 g; VEN = 943.4 ± 157.3 g, p = 0.108) and intravascular volume (CAP = 6.5 ± 1 L; VEN = 6.5 ± 0.9 L, p = 0.752) were statistically indifferent, had low bias (Hbmass bias = 14.45 ± 40.42 g, LoA -64.78 g-93.67 g) and were highly correlated between sampling techniques. Reliability analysis demonstrated no difference in the mean change in variables calculated from both sampling sites and good to excellent intraclass correlation coefficients (>0.700), however, typical measurement error was larger in variables measured using CAP (VEN Hbmass TE% = 2.1%, CAP Hbmass TE% = 5.5%). The results indicate that a supine rest prior to the rebreathing protocol would have a significant effect on haemoglobin concentration and haematocrit values compared to a seated rest, with no effect on carboxyhaemoglobin %. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that CAP and VEN were comparable for the calculation of Hbmass and intravascular volumes in terms of accuracy. However, reduced reliability and increased error in the CAP variables indicates that there are methodological considerations to address when deciding which blood drawing technique to utilise. To reduce this CAP error, increased replicate analyses are required.

Postoperative anaemia and patient-centred outcomes after major abdominal surgery: a retrospective cohort study. Br J Anaesth 2022; 129:346-354. [PMID: 35843746 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with anaemia before surgery, the underlying pathogenesis and implications of postoperative anaemia are largely unknown. METHODS This retrospective cohort study analysed prospective data obtained from 2983 adult patients across 47 centres enrolled in a clinical trial evaluating restrictive and liberal intravenous fluids. The primary endpoint was persistent disability or death up to 90 days after surgery. Secondary endpoints included major septic complications, hospital stay, and patient quality of recovery using a 15-item quality of recovery (QoR-15) score, hospital re-admissions, and disability-free survival up to 12 months after surgery. Anaemia and disability were defined according to the WHO definitions. Multivariable regression was used to adjust for baseline risk and surgery. RESULTS A total of 2983 patients met inclusion criteria for this study, of which 78.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 76.7-80.1%) had postoperative anaemia. Patients with postoperative anaemia had a higher adjusted risk of death or disability up to 90 days after surgery when compared with those without anaemia: 18.2% vs 9.2% (risk ratio [RR]=1.51; 95% CI, 1.10-2.07, P=0.011); lower QoR-15 scores on Day 3 and Day 30, 105 (95% CI, 87-119) vs 114 (95% CI, 99-128; P<0.001), and 130 (95% CI, 112-140) vs 139 (95% CI, 121-144; P<0.011), respectively; higher adjusted risk of a composite of mortality/septic complications, 2.01 (95% CI, 1.55-42.67; P<0.001); unplanned admission to ICU (RR=2.65; 95% CI, 1.65-4.23; P<0.001); and longer median (inter-quartile range [IQR]) hospital stays, 6.6 (4.4-12.4) vs 3.7 (2.5-6.5) days (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative anaemia is common and is independently associated with poor outcomes after surgery. Optimal prevention and treatment strategies need to be investigated.

Investigation of the Relationship between Lean Muscle Mass and Erythropoietin Resistance in Maintenance Haemodialysis Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19095704. [PMID: 35565102 PMCID: PMC9100199 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19095704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Each patient undergoing maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) has a different response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). Haemodilution due to fluid overload has been shown to contribute to anaemia. Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to influence ESA response in dialysis patients; however, BMI calculation does not distinguish between fat and lean tissue. The association between lean muscle mass and erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness is still not well-known among MHD patients. We designed a cross-sectional study and used bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) to analyse the relationship between body composition, haemoglobin level, and erythropoietin resistance index (ERI) in MHD patients. Seventy-seven patients were enrolled in the study group. Compared with patients with haemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL, those with haemoglobin < 10 g/dL had higher serum ferritin levels, malnutrition−inflammation scores (MIS), relative overhydration, ESA doses, and ERIs. In multivariate logistic regression, higher ferritin levels and MIS were the only predictors of lower haemoglobin levels. The ERI was significantly positively correlated with age, Kt/V, ferritin levels, and MIS and negatively correlated with albumin levels, BMI, and lean tissue index (LTI). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that ferritin levels, BMI, and LTI were the most important predictors of ERI. In MHD patients, using BIS to measure body composition can facilitate the development of early interventions that aim to prevent sarcopenia, support ESA responsiveness, and, consequently, improve anaemia management.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Obesity is a worldwide epidemic contributing directly to several cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Wearable devices are becoming better at quantifying biomarkers relevant for the management of health and fitness. Unfortunately, both anecdotal evidence and recent studies indicate that some wearables have higher levels of error when utilized by populations with darker skin tones and high body mass index (BMI). There is an urgent need for a better evaluation of the limits of wearable health technologies when used by obese individuals. AIMS (1) To review the current know-how on changes due to obesity in the skin epidermis, dermis, and subcutis that could affect the skin optical properties; (2) for the green wavelength range, to evaluate the difference in absorption and scattering coefficients from the abdominal skin between individuals with and without elevated BMI. The changes include alterations in layer thickness and cell size, as well as significant differences in chromophores and scatterer content, e.g., water, hemoglobin, collagen, and lipids. APPROACH We have summarized literature pertaining to changes in skin and its components in obesity and report the results of our search using articles published between years 1971 and 2020. A linear model was used to demonstrate the absorption and reduced scattering coefficient of the abdominal skin of individuals with and without elevated BMI in the green wavelength range (530 to 550 nm) that is typically found in most wearables. RESULTS The general trends indicate a decrease in absorption for both dermis and subcutis and an increase in reduced scattering for both epidermis and dermis. At 544-nm wavelength, a typical wavelength used for photoplethysmography (PPG), the absorption coefficient's relative percentage difference between high and low BMI skin, was 49% in the subcutis, 19% in the dermis, and negligible in the epidermis, whereas the reduced scattering coefficient relative difference was 21%, 29%, and 165% respectively. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that there could be significant errors in the output of optical devices used for monitoring health and fitness if changes due to obesity are not accounted for in their design.

Abstract
CONTEXT The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly infectious agent, with the propensity to cause severe illness. While vaccine uptake has been increasing in recent months, many regions remain at risk of significant coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) related healthcare burden. Health systems will continue to benefit from the availability of a variety of clinical and laboratory model when other triaging models are equivocal. OBJECTIVE To validate previously reported clinical laboratory abnormalities seen in COVID-19 patients and identify what laboratory parameters might be outcome-predictive. DESIGN We undertook an observational study of hospital-admitted COVID-19 patients (n=113), looking at a broad selection of clinical, laboratory, peripheral blood smear, and outcome data over discrete discovery and validation periods from March 2020 to November 2020. RESULTS We confirmed the findings of previous studies noting derangement of a variety of laboratory parameters in COVID-19 patients, including peripheral blood morphological changes. We also devised a simple-to-use decision tree by which patients could be risk stratified on the basis of Red Blood Cell count, creatinine, urea, and atypical plasmacytoid lymphocyte ("covidocyte") count. This outcome classifier performed comparably to the World Health Organization clinical classifier and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio. CONCLUSIONS Our data add to the increasing number of studies cataloguing laboratory changes in COVID-19, and support the clinical utility of incorporating blood morphological assessment in the workup of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Poor haemoglobin-haematocrit agreement in apparently healthy adult population; a cross-sectional study in Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. Heliyon 2021; 7:e07720.

Abstract
Background This study estimated total body water (TBW), daily water intake (DWI) and haemoglobin-haematocrit relationship in adults in a tropical environment where active lifestyles could precipitate plasma volume contraction. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited 170 participants, and was carried out between February 2018 and May 2018 at University of Cape Coast. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to obtain demographic data and DWI. Five ml of venous blood sample was drawn for full blood count, haemoglobin variant determination, serum sodium and potassium levels. TBW was estimated using Chumlea's anthropometric equation. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 under two-tail assumption. Results Whereas 72.3% had low haematocrit, only 22.4% were anaemic per haemoglobin cut-off demonstrating a poor haemoglobin-haematocrit correlation. Also, whereas 30% of participants had low TBW, 22.9% had hypernatraemia, with 97.1% reporting DWI of <3 L. Bland-Altman plot showed that calculated haematocrit (HCT = Hb∗3) underestimated HCT by a factor of 1.788 (p = 0.0314). A scatter-plot showed a trend towards higher haematocrit-haemoglobin deviations as haemoglobin increased. Furthermore, 32.6% of participants with normal haemoglobin levels had low TBW. Moreover, whereas haemoglobin and serum K+ significantly positively correlated to TBW, serum Na+ was inversely related to TBW. Conclusion The low DWI is suggestive that measuring plasma volume and/or haemoglobin mass may be required to correctly diagnose anaemia.

Abstract
Background: Calculated plasma volume status (PVS) reflects volume overload based on the deviation of the estimated plasma volume (ePV) from the ideal plasma volume (iPV). Calculated PVS is associated with prognosis in the context of heart failure. This single-center study investigated the prognostic impact of PVS in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: A total of 859 TAVI patients had been prospectively enrolled in an observational study and were included in the analysis. An optimal cutoff for PVS of −5.4% was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization within 1 year after TAVI. Results: A total of 324 patients had a PVS < −5.4% (no congestion), while 535 patients showed a PVS ≥ −5.4% (congestion). The primary endpoint occurred more frequently in patients with a PVS ≥ −5.4% compared to patients with PVS < −5.4% (22.6% vs. 13.0%, p < 0.001). After multivariable adjustment, PVS was confirmed as a significant predictor of the primary endpoint (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.05–2.22, p = 0.026). Conclusions: Elevated PVS, as a marker of subclinical congestion, is significantly associated with all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization within 1 year after TAVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In systolic chronic heart failure, a heterogeneous blood volume (BV) regulation can be found with plasma volume expansion in many cases, possibly leading to pseudoanemia. Little is known about the volume status after heart transplantation (HTX). So far, anemia of HTX recipients was solely investigated using hemoglobin-concentration that may be misleading in a clinical context. The objective of the study was whether a difference in plasma volume and red cell volume can be observed in clinically stable heart transplant recipients compared to matched control subjects. Secondary, the aim was to describe anemia in the long-term after HTX based on quantitative data. METHODS Blood volume and its constituents red cell volume and plasma volume were quantified using an abbreviated carbon monoxide rebreathing method (aCORM) with focus on its primary measure total hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and coincidental anemia in 36 (7 women) heart transplant recipients. For comparison, a matched control group of 46 (5 women) healthy subjects was selected. RESULTS Neither Hbmass nor blood volumes were significantly different in HTX patients compared to matched healthy control group subjects. The prevalence of anemia 6.3 ± 4.3 years after transplantation was 19%. Hbmass and red cell volume were significantly lower in anemic HTX patients compared to non-anemic patients while plasma volume was not expanded. Various immunosuppressant regimens did not have an effect on Hbmass, plasma volume or red cell volume. CONCLUSIONS There was no difference in blood volumes and Hbmass between HTX patients and control subjects. The pathophysiologic blood volume regulation in chronic heart failure does not seem to be longer active in long-term HTX recipients. However, in the long-term after HTX, anemia occurs in a considerable number of patients as true anemia without a clear association with immunosuppression.

Physiology, pathophysiology and (mal)adaptations to chronic apnoeic training: a state-of-the-art review. Eur J Appl Physiol 2021; 121:1543-1566.

Abstract
Breath-hold diving is an activity that humans have engaged in since antiquity to forage for resources, provide sustenance and to support military campaigns. In modern times, breath-hold diving continues to gain popularity and recognition as both a competitive and recreational sport. The continued progression of world records is somewhat remarkable, particularly given the extreme hypoxaemic and hypercapnic conditions, and hydrostatic pressures these athletes endure. However, there is abundant literature to suggest a large inter-individual variation in the apnoeic capabilities that is thus far not fully understood. In this review, we explore developments in apnoea physiology and delineate the traits and mechanisms that potentially underpin this variation. In addition, we sought to highlight the physiological (mal)adaptations associated with consistent breath-hold training. Breath-hold divers (BHDs) are evidenced to exhibit a more pronounced diving-response than non-divers, while elite BHDs (EBHDs) also display beneficial adaptations in both blood and skeletal muscle. Importantly, these physiological characteristics are documented to be primarily influenced by training-induced stimuli. BHDs are exposed to unique physiological and environmental stressors, and as such possess an ability to withstand acute cerebrovascular and neuronal strains. Whether these characteristics are also a result of training-induced adaptations or genetic predisposition is less certain. Although the long-term effects of regular breath-hold diving activity are yet to be holistically established, preliminary evidence has posed considerations for cognitive, neurological, renal and bone health in BHDs. These areas should be explored further in longitudinal studies to more confidently ascertain the long-term health implications of extreme breath-holding activity.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The measurement of blood pressure (BP) is critical in monitoring and managing cardiovascular disease hence new wearable devices are being developed to make BP more accessible to physicians and patients. Several wearables utilize photoplethysmography from the wrist vasculature to derive BP assessment although many of these devices are still at the experimental stage. With the ultimate goal of supporting instrument development, we have developed a model of the photoplethysmographic waveform derived from the radial artery at the volar surface of the wrist. To do so we have utilized the relation between vessel biomechanics through Finite Element Method and Monte Carlo light transport model. The model shows similar features to that seen in PPG waveform captured using an off the shelf device. We observe the influence of body mass index on the PPG signal. A degradation the PPG signal of up to 40% in AC to DC signal ratio was thus observed.

Abstract
An optoelectronic, integrated system-on-glass for on-chip detection of biomolecules is here presented. The system’s working principle is based on the interaction, detected by a hydrogenated amorphous silicon photosensor, between a monochromatic light travelling in a SU-8 polymer optical waveguide and the biological solution under analysis. Optical simulations of the waveguide coupling to the thin-film photodiode with a specific design were carried out. A prototype was fabricated and characterized showing waveguide optical losses of about 0.6 dB/cm, a photodiode shot noise current of about 2.5 fA/Hz and responsivity of 495 mA/W at 532 nm. An electro-optical coupling test was performed on the fabricated device to validate the system. As proof of concept, hemoglobin was studied as analyte for a demonstration scenario, involving optical simulations interpolated with experimental data. The calculated detection limit of the proposed system for hemoglobin concentration in aqueous solution is around 100 ppm, in line with colorimetric methods currently on the market. These results show the effectiveness of the proposed system in biological detection applications and encourage further developments in implementing these kinds of devices in the biomedical field.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Is it possible to modify the CO-rebreathing method to acquire reliable measurements of haemoglobin mass in ventilated patients? What is the main finding and its importance? A 'single breath' of CO with a subsequent 30 s breath hold provides almost as exact a measure of haemoglobin mass as the established optimized CO-rebreathing method when applied to healthy subjects. The modified method has now to be checked in ventilated patients before it can be used to quantify the contributions of blood loss and of dilution to the severity of anaemia. ABSTRACT Anaemia is defined by the concentration of haemoglobin (Hb). However, this value is dependent upon both the total circulating haemoglobin mass (tHb-mass) and the plasma volume (PV) - neither of which is routinely measured. Carbon monoxide (CO)-rebreathing methods have been successfully used to determine both PV and tHb-mass in various populations. However, these methods are not yet suitable for ventilated patients. This study aimed to modify the CO-rebreathing procedure such that a single inhalation of a CO bolus would enable its use in ventilated patients. Eleven healthy volunteers performed four CO-rebreathing tests in a randomized order, inhaling an identical CO volume. In two tests, CO was rebreathed for 2 min (optimized CO rebreathing; oCOR), and in the other two tests, a single inhalation of a CO bolus was conducted with a subsequent breath hold of 15 s (Procnew 15s) or 30 s (Procnew 30s). Subsequently, the CO volume in the exhaled air was continuously determined for 20 min. The amount of CO exhaled after 7 and 20 min was respectively 3.1 ± 0.3 and 5.9 ± 1.1 ml for oCOR, 8.7 ± 3.6 and 12.0 ± 4.4 ml for Procnew 15s and 5.1 ± 2.0 and 8.4 ±2.6 ml for Procnew 30s. tHb-mass was 843 ± 293 g determined by oCOR, 821 ± 288 g determined by Procnew 15s (difference: P < 0.05) and 849 ± 311 g determined by Procnew 30s. Bland-Altman plots demonstrated slightly lower tHb-mass values for Procnew 15s compared with oCOR (-21.8 ± 15.3 g) and similar values for Procnew 30s. In healthy volunteers, a single inhalation of a CO bolus, preferably followed by a 30 s breath hold, can be used to determine tHb-mass. These results must now be validated for ventilated patients.

Abstract
Introduction Anesthetic care in patients undergoing thoracic surgery presents specific challenges that require a multidisciplinary approach to management. There remains a need for standardized, evidence-based, continuously updated guidelines for perioperative care in these patients. Methods A multidisciplinary expert group, the Perioperative Anesthesia in Thoracic Surgery (PACTS) group, was established to develop recommendations for anesthesia practice in patients undergoing elective lung resection for lung cancer. The project addressed three key areas: preoperative patient assessment and preparation, intraoperative management (surgical and anesthesiologic care), and postoperative care and discharge. A series of clinical questions was developed, and literature searches were performed to inform discussions around these areas, leading to the development of 69 recommendations. The quality of evidence and strength of recommendations were graded using the United States Preventive Services Task Force criteria. Results Recommendations for intraoperative care focus on airway management, and monitoring of vital signs, hemodynamics, blood gases, neuromuscular blockade, and depth of anesthesia. Recommendations for postoperative care focus on the provision of multimodal analgesia, intensive care unit (ICU) care, and specific measures such as chest drainage, mobilization, noninvasive ventilation, and atrial fibrillation prophylaxis. Conclusions These recommendations should help clinicians to improve intraoperative and postoperative management, and thereby achieve better postoperative outcomes in thoracic surgery patients. Further refinement of the recommendations can be anticipated as the literature continues to evolve.

Abstract
Total hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) is routinely assessed in studies by the carbon monoxide (CO) rebreathing. Its clinical application is often hindered due to the consequent rise in carboxyhemoglobin (%HbCO) and the concern of CO toxicity. We tested the reproducibility of the CO rebreathing with a CO dose of 0.5 mL/kg body mass (CO0.5) compared to 1.5 mL/kg (CO1.5) and when shortening the CO rebreathing protocol. Therefore, CO rebreathing was performed 1×/day in eight healthy individuals on four consecutive days. On each day, either CO0.5 (CO0.5-1 and CO0.5-2) or CO1.5 (CO1.5-1 and CO1.5-2) was administered. Venous blood samples to determine %HbCO and quantify Hbmass were obtained prior to, and at 6 (T6), 8 (T8) and 10 min (T10) of CO rebreathing. This protocol was tested at sea level and at 2320 m to investigate the altitude-related measurement error. At sea level, the mean difference (95% limits of agreement) in Hbmass between CO0.5-1 and CO0.5-2 was 26 g (-26; 79 g) and between CO1.5-1 and CO1.5-2, it was 17 g (-18; 52 g). The respective typical error (TE) corresponded to 2.4% (CO0.5) and 1.5% (CO1.5), while it was 6.5% and 3.0% at 2320 m. With CO0.5, shortening the CO rebreathing resulted in a TE for Hbmass of 4.4% (T8 vs. T10) and 14.1% (T6 vs T10) and with CO1.5, TE was 1.6% and 5.8%. In conclusion, the CO dose and rebreathing time for the CO rebreathing procedure can be decreased at the cost of a measurement error ranging from 1.5-14.1%.

Abstract
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a slow-growing type of blood cancer, where the production of red blood cells (RBCs) increase considerably. The principal treatment for targeting the symptoms of PV is bloodletting (phlebotomy) at regular intervals based on data derived from blood counts and physician assessments based on experience. Model-based decision support can help to identify optimal and individualized phlebotomy schedules to improve the treatment success and reduce the number of phlebotomies and thus negative side effects of the therapy. We present an extension of a simple compartment model of the production of RBCs in adults to capture patients suffering from PV. We analyze the model's properties to show the plausibility of its assumptions. We complement this with numerical results using exemplary PV patient data. The model is then used to simulate the dynamics of the disease and to compute optimal treatment plans. We discuss heuristics and solution approaches for different settings, which include constraints arising in real-world applications, where the scheduling of phlebotomies depends on appointments between patients and treating physicians. We expect that this research can support personalized clinical decisions in cases of PV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia is common in liver cirrhosis. This generally infers a fall in total hemoglobin mass (tHb-mass). However, hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) may fall due to an expansion in plasma volume (PV). The "optimized carbon monoxide rebreathing method" (oCOR) measures tHb-mass directly and PV (indirectly using hematocrit). It relies upon carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) distribution throughout the entire circulation. In healthy subjects, such distribution is complete within 6-8 min. Given the altered circulatory dynamics in cirrhosis, we sought in this pilot study, to assess whether this was true in cirrhosis. The primary aim was to ascertain if the standard timings for the oCOR were applicable to patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. The secondary aim was to explore the applicability of standard CO dosing methodologies to this patient population. METHODS Sixteen patients with chronic liver parenchymal disease were studied. However, tHb-mass was determined using the standard oCOR technique before elective paracentesis. Three subjects had an inadequate COHb% rise. In the remaining 13 (11 male), mean ± standard deviation (SD) age was 52 ± 13.8 years, body mass 79.1 ± 11.4 kg, height 175 ± 6.8 cm. To these, mean ± SD dose of carbon monoxide (CO) gas administered was 0.73 ± 0.13 ml/kg COHb values at baseline, 6 and 8 min (and "7-min value") were compared to those at 10, 12, 15 and 20 min after CO rebreathing. RESULTS The "7-min value" for median COHb% (IQR) of 6.30% (6.21%-7.47%) did not differ significantly from those at subsequent time points (8 min: 6.30% (6.21%-7.47%), 10 min: 6.33% (6.00%-7.50%), 12 min: 6.33% (5.90%-7.40%), 15 min: 6.37% (5.80%-7.33%), 20 min: 6.27% (5.70%-7.20%)). Mean difference in calculated tHb-mass between minute 7 and minute 20 was only 4.1 g, or 0.6%, p = .68. No subjects reported any adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS The oCOR method can be safely used to measure tHb-mass in patients with chronic liver disease and ascites, without adjustment of blood sample timings. Further work might refine and validate appropriate dosing regimens.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Notwithstanding recent progress on molecular mechanisms underlying heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), multiple pathophysiological aspects of this condition including the basis of anaemia and other haematological disorders remain unresolved. In this study, we sought to determine the relationship of plasma volume (PV), a plausible confounding factor for the concentration of solutes in blood, with key haematological markers in HFpEF patients. METHODS Total circulating PV was determined with high precision, automated carbon monoxide rebreathing in 24 stable HFpEF patients (70 ± 8 years, left ventricular ejection fraction = 55±5%) and 18 healthy age- and sex-matched control (HC) individuals. Linear regression analyses were performed to determine the association of PV with a comprehensive set of haematological variables. RESULTS Haematocrit (40·1 ± 4·9 versus 43·6 ± 2·7%, P = 0·004) and haemoglobin concentration (131 ± 16 versus 142 ± 7 g l-1 , P = 0·003) were reduced in HFpEF patients compared with HC individuals. In regression analyses, PV was negatively associated with haematocrit (r = -0·45, P = 0·029) and haemoglobin concentration (r = -0·44, P = 0·030) in HFpEF patients, whereas these variables were not associated with PV in HC individuals (P≥0·198). Regarding blood electrolytes, PV was negatively associated with K+ (r = -0·43, P = 0·036) and Ca2+ (r = -0·44, P = 0·032) in HFpEF patients but not in HC individuals (P≥0·734). None of the above associations were detected in HFpEF patients when using ideal instead of measured PV. CONCLUSION The blood concentration of routine markers of anaemia and electrolyte balance is specifically and linearly associated with PV in HFpEF patients. Excess or deficit of circulating PV may confound clinical diagnosis in this population.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited disorders affecting red blood cells, which is caused by a single mutation that results in substitution of the amino acid valine for glutamic acid in the sixth position of the β-globin chain of hemoglobin. These mutant hemoglobin molecules, called hemoglobin S, can polymerize upon deoxygenation, causing erythrocytes to adopt a sickled form and to suffer hemolysis and vaso-occlusion. Until recently, only two drug therapies for SCD, which do not even fully address the manifestations of SCD, were approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration. A third treatment was newly approved, while a monoclonal antibody preventing vaso-occlusive crises is also now available. The complex nature of SCD manifestations provides multiple critical points where drug discovery efforts can be and have been directed. These notwithstanding, the need for new therapeutic approaches remains high and one of the recent efforts includes developments aimed at inhibiting the polymerization of hemoglobin S. This review focuses on anti-sickling approaches using peptide-based inhibitors, ranging from individual amino acid dipeptides investigated 30-40 years ago up to more promising 12- and 15-mers under consideration in recent years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), volume overload is usually described as an expansion of plasma volume. Additional red cell volume (RCV) expansion is less commonly recognized. So far, little is known about quantitative differences in blood volume status and its different components in patients with stable CHF compared to healthy controls. METHODS This study aimed to quantify blood volume and its constituents, RCV and plasma volume, by using an abbreviated carbon monoxide rebreathing method with particular focus on its primary measure total hemoglobin mass in 47 patients (10 women) with systolic CHF and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 29.0 ± 9.4%. These were compared to an age-matched control group of 84 healthy subjects (44 women) using the same method. RESULTS In both absolute and body-surface-area-corrected analysis, hemoglobin mass (446 ± 81 vs 353 ± 64 g/m2) as well as RCV (1293 ± 231 vs 1033 ± 176 mL/m2) were significantly increased in CHF. In addition, significant plasma volume expansion was observed in CHF (2069 ± 400 vs 1750 ± 231 mL/m2) and, in conjunction with RCV, constituted a significantly increased blood volume (3361 ± 574 vs 2783 ± 369 mL/m2). In 66% of patients with compensated CHF, RCV was excessive compared to 14% in the control group. CONCLUSIONS An increased RCV is a relevant contributing factor to hypervolemia in stable CHF. This is associated with an increased oxygen-carrying capacity, so it may be regarded as a possible compensatory mechanism for a reduced ejection fraction.

Perioperative blood loss: estimation of blood volume loss or haemoglobin mass loss? BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2019; 18:20-29. [PMID: 31855150 DOI: 10.2450/2019.0204-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative blood loss is an essential parameter in research into Patient Blood Management. However, currently there is no "gold standard" method to quantify it. Direct measurements of blood loss are considered unreliable methods, and the formulae to estimate it have proven to be significantly inaccurate. Given the need for better research tools, this study evaluated an estimation of haemoglobin mass loss as an alternative approach to estimate perioperative blood loss, and compared it to estimations based on blood volume loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied one hundred consecutive patients undergoing urological laparoscopic surgery. Both haemoglobin mass loss and blood volume loss were directly measured during surgery, under highly controlled conditions for a reliable direct measurement of blood loss. Three formulae were studied: 1) a haemoglobin mass loss formula, which estimated blood loss in terms of haemoglobin mass loss, 2) the López-Picado's formula and 3) an empirical volume formula that estimated blood loss in terms of blood volume loss. The empirical volume formula was developed within the study with the aim of providing the best possible estimation of blood volume loss in the studied population. The formulae were evaluated and compared by assessing their agreements with their respective direct measurements of blood loss. RESULTS The haemoglobin mass loss formula met the predefined agreement criterion of ±71 g, with 95% limits of agreement ranging from 0.6 to 44.1 g and a moderate overestimation of 22.4. In comparison to both blood volume loss formulae, the haemoglobin mass loss formula was superior in every agreement parameter evaluated. DISCUSSION In this study, the estimation of haemoglobin mass loss was found to be a more accurate method to estimate perioperative blood loss. This estimation method could be a robust research tool, although more studies are needed to establish its reliability.

Utility of Novel Hypochromia and Microcythemia Markers in Classifying Hematological and Iron Status in Male Athletes. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11112767.

Abstract
In athletes, no reliable indices exist for an unambiguous evaluation of hematological and iron status. Therefore, the utility of some new red blood cell (RBC) parameters was explored in 931 elite male athletes aged 13–35 years. To diagnose iron status, the values of ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and basic blood morphology were determined in blood. The new hematological markers included among others: mean cellular hemoglobin content in reticulocytes (CHr), percentage of erythrocytes (HYPOm) and reticulocytes (HYPOr) with decreased cellular hemoglobin concentration, percentage of erythrocytes (LowCHm) and reticulocytes (LowCHr) with decreased cellular hemoglobin content, mean volume of reticulocytes (MCVr), and percentage of erythrocytes with decreased volume (MICROm). Despite adverse changes in reticulocyte hypochromia indices (CHr, LowCHr, HYPOr; p < 0.001) in the iron depletion state, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) values calculated for them were relatively low (0.539–0.722). In iron-deficient erythropoiesis (IDE), unfavorable changes additionally concern microcythemia indices in both reticulocytes and erythrocytes (MCVr, MCV, MICROm, and red cell volume distribution width—RDW), with especially high values of AUC-ROC (0.947–0.970) for LowCHm, LowCHr, and CHr. Dilutional sports anemia was observed in 6.1% of athletes. In this subgroup, only hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), and RBC (all dependent on blood volume) were significantly lower than in the normal group. In conclusion, the diagnostic utility of the new hematology indices was not satisfactory for the detection of an iron depletion state in athletes. However, these new indices present high accuracy in the detection of IDE and sports anemia conditions.

Effect of donor, component, and recipient characteristics on hemoglobin increments following red blood cell transfusion. Blood 2019; 134:1003-1013.

Abstract
Significant research has focused individually on blood donors, product preparation and storage, and optimal transfusion practice. To better understand the interplay between these factors on measures of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion efficacy, we conducted a linked analysis of blood donor and component data with patients who received single-unit RBC transfusions between 2008 and 2016. Hemoglobin levels before and after RBC transfusions and at 24- and 48-hour intervals after transfusion were analyzed. Generalized estimating equation linear regression models were fit to examine hemoglobin increments after RBC transfusion adjusting for donor and recipient demographic characteristics, collection method, additive solution, gamma irradiation, and storage duration. We linked data on 23 194 transfusion recipients who received one or more single-unit RBC transfusions (n = 38 019 units) to donor demographic and component characteristics. Donor and recipient sex, Rh-D status, collection method, gamma irradiation, recipient age and body mass index, and pretransfusion hemoglobin levels were significant predictors of hemoglobin increments in univariate and multivariable analyses (P < .01). For hemoglobin increments 24 hours after transfusion, the coefficient of determination for the generalized estimating equation models was 0.25, with an estimated correlation between actual and predicted values of 0.5. Collectively, blood donor demographic characteristics, collection and processing methods, and recipient characteristics accounted for significant variation in hemoglobin increments related to RBC transfusion. Multivariable modeling allows the prediction of changes in hemoglobin using donor-, component-, and patient-level characteristics. Accounting for these factors will be critical for future analyses of donor and component factors, including genetic polymorphisms, on posttransfusion increments and other patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical blood loss is usually estimated by different formulae in studies of strategies aimed at reducing perioperative bleeding. This study assessed and compared the agreement of the main blood loss estimation formulae using a direct measurement of blood loss as the reference method. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Eighty consecutive patients undergoing urologic laparoscopic surgery were studied. Only optimal conditions for the direct measurement of surgical blood loss were considered. Surgical blood loss was estimated by six formulae at four different postoperative time points. The agreement of the formulae was evaluated by the Concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) and Bland-Altman analyses. An analysis of the agreement's variability regarding different magnitudes of blood loss was also performed. RESULTS Directly measured blood loss ranged from 200 to 2200 mL. The formulae studied showed poor agreement with the direct measurement of blood loss; 95% limits of agreement widely exceeded the criterion of ±560 mL. Significant biases were found, which for most of the formulae led to an overestimation of blood loss. For all formulae, agreement remained constant regardless of the amount of blood loss, with limits between -40 and +120% approximately. Among the formulae, the best agreement was achieved by López-Picado's formula at 48 hours (CCC: 0.577), with a bias of +283 mL and 95% limits of agreement between -477 and +1043 mL. CONCLUSION Formulae currently used to estimate surgical blood loss differ substantially from direct measurements; therefore, they may not be reliable methods of blood loss quantification in the surgical setting.

Abstract
Anemia is defined according to decreased blood hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]), which is considered a marker of low total red blood cell volume (RBCV). Alterations of plasma volume (PV) may also modify [Hb] without concomitant changes in RBCV. Since anemia and fluid retention are frequent complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), we hypothesized that anemia during CKD may in part be related to expanded PV without a simultaneous decrease in RBCV. We quantified hemoglobin mass, RBCV, PV, and total blood volume (BV) using an automated carbon monoxide device in 40 consecutive stage 3-5 CKD patients not on dialysis and in seven healthy male controls of the same age range. These were compared within and to predicted volumes according to Nadler's formula. Arterial stiffness and NT-proBNP were measured. RBCV was similar to predicted values range in anemic CKD patients 2073 (1818-2704) versus, 2061 (1725-2473) mL, P > 0.05. In contrast, PV was largely increased in anemic CKD patients (3881 (3212-4352) vs. 2916 (2851-3201)), P = 0.01. Of 26 anemic patients, only six had a >20% decrease in RBCV as the cause for their anemia, whereas 14 had a >20% increase of PV as a cause for their anemia. NT-pro BNP correlated with eGFR but neither with PV nor BV, whereas arterial stiffness was not correlated to blood volumes. Anemia in CKD as diagnosed by low [Hb] is not necessarily associated to low RBCV but may reflect increased PV. This finding has implications for the treatment of CKD patients and may refrain from normalizing [Hb] levels in all CKD patients.

Ahenkorah B, Nsiah K, Baffoe P, Anto EO. Biochemical and hematological changes among anemic and non-anemic pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the Bolgatanga regional hospital, Ghana. BMC HEMATOLOGY 2018; 18:27. [PMID: 30237895 PMCID: PMC6142348 DOI: 10.1186/s12878-018-0121-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2017] [Accepted: 09/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia in pregnancy may not only be associated with maternal morbidity and mortality but can also be detrimental to the fetus. A definitive diagnosis of anemia is a pre-requisite to unravelling possible cause(s), to allow appropriate treatment intervention. It is hypothesised that measured hemoglobin (HGB), complemented by biochemical and other hematological parameters would enhance anemia diagnosis. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study among 400 pregnant women comprising 253 anemic and 147 non-anemic pregnant women, attending an antenatal clinic at Bolgatanga Regional Hospital, Ghana. Venous blood was collected and hemoglobin genotype, complete blood count and biochemical parameters [ferritin, iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation (TfS), C-reactive protein (CRP) and bilirubin] were determined. Thick blood films were prepared for malaria parasitemia, while early morning stool and midstream urine samples were examined for enteric and urogenital parasites, respectively. RESULTS There were significantly reduced levels of HGB (p < 0.0001), HCT (p < 0.0001), MCV (p < 0.0001), iron (0.0273), ferritin (p = 0.018) and transferrin saturation (0.0391) and increased WBC (p = 0.006), RDW (p = 0.0480), TIBC (p = 0.0438) and positivity of CRP in anemic, compared to non-anemic pregnant women. Anemic women were associated with increased proportion of hemoglobinopathies (AS, SS and SC), Plasmodium falciparum, Schistosoma hematobium and intestinal parasite infections. CONCLUSION Anemic pregnant women are associated with a significant derangement in hematological and iron indices that implicate iron deficiency. This was influenced by hemoglobinopathies and parasitic infections.

Abstract
The regeneration of red blood cells (RBCs) after blood loss is an individual complex process. We present a novel simple compartment model which is able to capture the most important features and can be personalized using parameter estimation. We compare predictions of the proposed and personalized model to a more sophisticated state-of-the-art model for erythropoiesis, and to clinical data from healthy subjects. We discuss the choice of model parameters with respect to identifiability. We give an outlook on how extensions of this novel mathematical model could have an important impact for personalized clinical decision support in the case of polycythemia vera (PV). PV is a slow-growing type of blood cancer, where especially the production of RBCs is increased. The principal treatment targeting the symptoms of PV is bloodletting (phlebotomy), at regular intervals that are based on personal experiences of the physicians. Model-based decision support might help to identify optimal and individualized phlebotomy schedules.

Replicating measurements of total hemoglobin mass (tHb-mass) within a single day: precision of measurement; feasibility and safety of using oxygen to expedite carbon monoxide clearance. Physiol Rep 2018; 6:e13829. [PMID: 30203465 PMCID: PMC6131726 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2018] [Accepted: 07/21/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) is a function of total hemoglobin mass (tHb-mass) and plasma volume. [Hb] may fall by dilution due to plasma volume expansion and changes in the perioperative period may therefore correlate poorly with blood loss. A simple, reliable, repeatable way to measure plasma volume and tHb-mass would have substantial clinical utility. The "optimized carbon monoxide re-breathing method" (oCOR) meets these criteria. However, it is recommended that a minimum of 12 h (when breathing room air) is left between repeat measurements. Twenty-four subjects underwent 3 days of testing. Two oCOR tests were performed (T1 and T2), 3 h apart, with a different CO clearance method employed between tests aiming to keep the carboxyhemoglobin level below 10%. The primary aim was to ascertain whether tHb-mass testing could be safely repeated within 3 h if carboxyhemoglobin levels were actively reduced by breathing supplemental oxygen (PROCA ). Secondary aims were to compare two other clearance methods; moderate exercise (PROCB ), or a combination of the two (PROCC ). Finally, the reliability of the oCOR method was assessed. Mean (SD) tHb-mass was 807.9 ± (189.7 g) (for T1 on day 1). PROCA lowered the carboxyhemoglobin level from the end of T1 (mean 6.64%) to the start of T2 (mean 2.95%) by a mean absolute value of 3.69%. For PROCB and PROCC the mean absolute decreases in carboxyhemoglobin were 4.00% and 4.31%, respectively. The fall in carboxyhemoglobin between T1 and T2 was greatest in PROCC ; this was statistically significantly lower than that of PROCA (P = 0.0039) and PROCB (P = 0.0289). The test-retest reliability for the measurement of total hemoglobin mass was good with a mean typical error (TE) of 2.0%. The oCOR method is safe and can be repeated within 3 h when carbon monoxide is suitably cleared between tests. Using oxygen therapy alone adequately achieves this.

[PMID: 29263114 PMCID: PMC5742697 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2017] [Revised: 09/12/2017] [Accepted: 09/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Hemoconcentration is observed in bed rest studies, descent from altitude, and exposure to microgravity. Hemoconcentration triggers erythrocyte losses to subsequently normalize erythrocyte concentration. The mechanisms of erythrocyte loss may involve enhanced hemolysis, but has never been measured directly in bed rest studies. Steady‐state hemolysis was evaluated by measuring two heme degradation products, endogenous carbon monoxide concentration [CO] and urobilinogen in feces, in 10 healthy men, before, during, and after two campaigns of 21 days of 6° head‐down‐tilt (HDT) bed rest. The subjects were hemoconcentrated at 10 and 21 days of bed rest: mean concentrations of hemoglobin (15.0 ± 0.2 g/L and 14.6 ± 0.1 g/L, respectively) and erythrocytes (5.18 ± 0.06E6/μL and 5.02 ± 0.06E6/μL, respectively) were increased compared to baseline (all Ps < 0.05). In contrast, mean hemoglobin mass (743 ± 19 g) and number of erythrocytes (2.56 ± 0.07E13) were decreased at 21 days of bed rest (both Ps < 0.05). Indicators of hemolysis mean [CO] (1660 ± 49 ppb and 1624 ± 48 ppb, respectively) and fecal urobilinogen concentration (180 ± 23 mg/day and 199 ± 22 mg/day, respectively) were unchanged at 10 and 21 days of bed rest compared to baseline (both Ps > 0.05). A significant decrease in [CO] (−505 ppb) was measured at day 28 after bed rest. HDT bed rest caused hemoconcentration in parallel with lower hemoglobin mass. Circulating indicators of hemolysis remained unchanged throughout bed rest supporting that enhanced hemolysis did not contribute significantly to erythrocyte loss during the hemoconcentration of bed rest. At day 28 after bed rest, decreased hemolysis accompanied the recovery of erythrocytes, a novel finding.
