Abstract

Lin Zhu, Qiaobei Wang, Jueming Han, Hui Wang Department of Respiratory Medicine, The Second Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan City, Shandong Province, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Hui Wang, The Second Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, NO. 247, Beiyuan Street, Jinan, Shandong, 250012, People’s Republic of China, Email [email protected]: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between hemoglobin decline and diagnostic blood collection in the respiratory department and analyze the decline’s risk factors.Patients and Methods: A case-control study in the respiratory department of a national tertiary hospital in north China, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to find the risk factors. Patients excluding other factors affecting hemoglobin other than blood collection in the year 2021 were enrolled and divided into two groups according to the D-value of hemoglobin. The degree of hemoglobin decline caused by diagnostic blood collection between discharge and admission and its risk factors were analyzed.Results: Among the 530 patients screened in the study, ΔHb (the D-value of hemoglobin between discharge and admission) showed a skewed distribution with an average value of − 4.38± 0.514 g/L. We defined the D-value less than mean-2SD (ΔHb
