| Objective The objective of this study is to examine the attributes of blood employed in the management of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, with the aim of furnishing guidance for the formulation of an effective blood utilization approach for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Method?A retrospective analysis was conducted on the transfusion of blood components in 334 patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis at the Eighth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People’ s Liberation Army between April 2018 and April 2022, factors affecting blood transfusion and characteristics were respectively compared according to gender, age and the volume of suspended red blood cells administered. Results?Among the 334 patients with transfusion tuberculosis, 72.46% were males and 27.54% were females. The proportion in each age group was 47.91% in the middle age group, 27.54% in the older age group, 23.95% in the younger age group, and 0.60% in the younger age group. The proportion of long hospital stays in the mass transfusion group (65.38%) was higher than that in the non-mass transfusion group (42.21%), and the mortality rate (42.31%) was higher than that in the non-mass transfusion group (19.16%) (P＜0.05). The proportion of various blood components transfused in patients with tuberculosis was red blood cells (48.40%), plasma (27.60%), and platelets (23.99%) in descending order. The proportion of platelet transfusion in pulmonary tuberculosis patients (23.99%) was higher than that in our hospital (8.99%) during the same period (P＜0.05). Conclusion?We should strengthen the monitoring of anemia and platelet level in patients with tuberculosis, use blood components scientifically and rationally, improve the efficacy of blood transfusion, and improve the prognosis of patients. |
