AB  - Anemia  is  a  significant  risk  for  morbidity  and  mortality  in  surgical  patients.  That  risk  depends  on  the  patient’s  comorbidities,  type  of  surgery  planned,  and  the  severity,  stability,  and  etiology  of  the  anemia.  The  prevalence  of  baseline  anemia  varies  in  different  surgical  populations,  with  anemia  present  in  >30%  of  noncardiac  surgery  patients,  46%  of  colorectal  surgeries,  and  approximately  35%  of  hip  and  knee  surgeries.1  Even  mild  anemia,  with  an  approximate  hemoglobin  of  <13  g/dl  in  men  and  <12  g/dl  in  women,  is  associated  with  adverse  perioperative  outcomes.2  In  addition  to  the  risk  of  mortality,  perioperative  anemia  is  associated  with  an  increased  risk  of  pulmonary,  wound,  and  thromboembolic  complications.
