摘要：
Knowing the initial hematocrit of a polytrauma patient can assist his trauma management. This paper describes a four-year study of 88 polytrauma patients. Fifty-nine were transfused, and eight were women (13.5%). The mean cost of the first hospitalization of patients who were transfused was 14,503 €; the mean cost of patients who were not transfused was 5,718 €. HCT did not correlate with ICU stay; nor did days of hospitalization. The mean HCT of those who died was not much different from that of survivors (33.23 with standard deviation [SD] 7.43 versus 32.37 with SD 5.89). This study showed that initial HCT does not correlate with days of hospitalization or days in ICU, but that transfusion can predict higher total cost. © 2020 by Begell House, Inc. www.begellhouse.com.
