Funded Activity Summary

Anaemia in the elderly (AE) is a common and increasing issue, which is often treated with blood transfusions. This project aims to investigate the causes and risk factors of patients who develop AE, and the impact of AE on health outcomes. The results will help define appropriate haemoglobin thresholds for AE, and provide information to develop appropriate guidelines for AE and transfusion management in the elderly.
