NCT ID NCT05447442
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether doctors at Siriraj Hospital follow a new guideline for treating anemia in patients before major surgery. Anemia is common in surgical patients and can lead to more blood transfusions and worse outcomes. The researchers will track 93 anemic patients to see how often the guideline is followed and what happens during and after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better hospital guidelines that reduce blood transfusions and improve recovery for anemic patients before surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-hospital study that only measures adherence, not whether the guideline actually improves health. Results may not apply to other hospitals.
