The Associations between Perioperative Blood Transfusion and Long-Term Outcomes after Stomach Cancer Surgery

Background: Whether perioperative packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is associated with inferior long-term outcomes after stomach cancer surgery remains controversial. Methods: This research used a retrospective cohort study. Patients with stage I~III stomach cancer undergoing tumor resection...

Methods: This research used a retrospective cohort study. Patients with stage I~III stomach cancer undergoing tumor resection were collected at a tertiary medical center. Patient characteristics, surgical features and pathologic findings were gathered from an electronic medical chart review. The associations of perioperative pRBC transfusion with postoperative disease-free and overall survivals were evaluated using Cox regression analysis with an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Restricted cubic spline functions were employed to characterize dose-response relationships between the amount of transfusion and cancer outcomes after surgery. Results: Among the 569 patients, 160 (28.1%) received perioperative pRBC transfusion. Perioperative transfusion was associated with worse disease-free survival (IPTW adjusted HR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.18–1.71, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and overall survival (IPTW adjusted HR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.05–1.55, <i>p</i> = 0.014). A non-linear dose-response relationship was noted between the amount of transfusions and worse disease-free or overall survival. Conclusions: Perioperative pRBC transfusion was associated with worse disease-free and overall survival after stomach cancer surgery, and strategies aiming to minimize perioperative transfusion exposure should be further considered to reduce the potential risk.Fu-Kai HsuWen-Kuei ChangKuan-Ju LinChun-Yu LiuWen-Liang FangKuang-Yi ChangMDPI AGarticleblood transfusiondisease-free survivaldose-responsesurvival analysisstomach neoplasmsNeoplasms.
