| Description: |
Aim Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in patients undergoing colon cancer resection improves outcome defined by length of stay, recurrence, and requirement for blood transfusions. Method Retrospective analysis of patients with anaemia and colonic cancer between January 2018 - August 2019. Anaemia categorised as – Iron Deficiency Anaemia and non- Iron Deficiency anaemia. IDA was defined as hypochromic microcytic anaemia. Patient demographics, tumour location, pre- and post-operative haemoglobin, length of stay, recurrence and requirement for blood transfusions were collected plus treatment for anaemia. Comparisons made between IDA and non-IDA groups in relation to treatment for anaemia with iron (oral/IV). Non-parametric statistical tests used (median, 2-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis) with significance at P 0.1), and Recurrence P >0.1. Conclusions In our series, iron treatment does not influence recurrence, length of stay, requirement for blood transfusions. Tumour location is not significantly different between IDA and non-IDA group. Patients treated with oral iron therapy are seen to have a larger drop in haemoglobin post operatively than the other groups. |
