Anemia is frequent in cancer patients, but there are concerns regarding treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). Blood transfusions are commonly used as an alternative, but with little data regarding outcomes. We investigated the association between transfusions, venous thromboembolism (VTE), arterial thromboembolism (ATE) and mortality in hospitalized cancer patients. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the discharge database of the University HealthSystem Consortium. This included 504,208 hospitalizations of cancer patients between 1995 and 2003 at 60 United States medical centers. Of the patients included, 70,542 (14.0%) received at least 1 red blood cell (RBC) and 15,237 (3%) received at least 1 platelet transfusion. Among patients receiving RBC transfusions, 7.2% developed VTE and 5.2% developed ATE and this was significantly greater than rates of 3.8% and 3.1%, respectively, for the rest of the study population (P<0.0001 In multivariate analysis, both RBC [OR 1.60, (95%CI 1.53–1.67)] and platelet transfusion [OR 1.20(95% CI 1.11–1.29)] were independently associated with an increased risk of VTE. RBC [OR 1.53 (95%CI 1.46–1.61)] and platelet transfusion [OR 1.55 (95%CI 1.40–1.71)] were also associated with ATE (P<0.0001 for each). Transfusions were also associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality [OR 1.34 (95% CI 1.29–1.38) for RBC and 2.40 (95% CI 2.27–2.52) for platelets, p<0.0001]. RBC and platelet transfusions are associated with an increased risk of venous and arterial thrombotic events and mortality in hospitalized cancer patients. Further investigation is necessary to determine whether this relationship is causal.
