Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Comparison of hemoglobin levels in the postoperative period between both the groups.Timepoint: Postoperative days 1, 7 and 28. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Identify the number of patients who remain anemic on 28th day postoperative as per WHO criteria of anemia. 2. Comparing the RBC indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW) on POD 7 and 28 in both the patient groups. 3. Comparing the reticulocyte counts on preoperative and POD 7 (or before discharge whichever is earlier) 4. Record the iron profile changes (serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation and TIBG) on POD 0 and 28. 5. To assess the safety and tolerability of intravenous iron formulation in patients. 6. To assess the safety of erythropoietin in patients. 7. Compare the length of hospital stay between both the groups. 8. Presence of any post-operative surgical site infections in both the groups.
