This Myocardial Ischemia and Transfusion (MINT) trial analysis evaluated the optimal transfusion strategy for patients with CKD and anemia experiencing acute myocardial infarction. In patients with CKD, a liberal transfusion strategy overall did not demonstrate benefit over a restrictive strategy.
CKD is associated with higher risk of myocardial infarction and anemia. Among patients with anemia and CKD who experience myocardial infarction, it remains uncertain whether a liberal red blood cell transfusion threshold strategy (hemoglobin cutoff <10 g/dl) is superior to a restrictive transfusion threshold (hemoglobin, 7–8 g/dl) strategy.
Among the 3504 patients enrolled in the Myocardial Ischemia and Transfusion (MINT) trial with nonmissing serum creatinine, we compared baseline characteristics and 30-day and 6-month outcomes of patients without CKD (=1279), CKD with eGFR 30–60 ml/min per 1.73 m (=999), CKD with eGFR <30 ml/min per 1.73 m (=802), and CKD requiring dialysis (=415) by assigned transfusion strategy.
No statistically significant interactions were observed between CKD stage and assigned transfusion strategy. Among non–dialysis-dependent patients with an eGFR <30 ml/min per 1.73 m, a restrictive transfusion strategy was associated with a higher risk of 30-day death or recurrent myocardial infarction (risk difference [RD], 5.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.4% to 11.2%) compared with a liberal transfusion strategy. Among patients with an eGFR 30–60 ml/min per 1.73 m, a restrictive strategy was associated with a similar risk of 30-day death or recurrent myocardial infarction (RD, 3.7%; 95% CI, −0.9% to 8.2%) compared with a liberal transfusion strategy. Among patients with CKD requiring dialysis, a restrictive strategy was also associated with a similar risk of 30-day death or recurrent myocardial infarction (RD, −2.6%; 95% CI, −10.0% to 4.8%) compared with a liberal transfusion strategy.
In patients with CKD included in this MINT subgroup analysis, a liberal transfusion strategy was not worse than a restrictive transfusion strategy and was associated with less harm in subgroups not receiving dialysis.

这项心肌缺血与输血(MINT)试验分析评估了患有慢性肾脏病(CKD)和贫血且发生急性心肌梗死患者的最佳输血策略。在CKD患者中,总体而言,宽松输血策略相较于限制性策略并未显示出益处。
CKD与心肌梗死和贫血的较高风险相关。在发生心肌梗死的贫血和CKD患者中,宽松的红细胞输血阈值策略(血红蛋白临界值<10 g/dl)是否优于限制性输血阈值(血红蛋白7 - 8 g/dl)策略仍不确定。
在参与心肌缺血与输血(MINT)试验且血清肌酐数据无缺失的3504例患者中,我们根据指定的输血策略比较了无CKD(n = 1279)、估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)为30 - 60 ml/(min·1.73 m²)的CKD患者(n = 999)、eGFR<30 ml/(min·1.73 m²)的CKD患者(n = 802)以及需要透析的CKD患者(n = 415)的基线特征、30天和6个月的结局。
未观察到CKD分期与指定输血策略之间存在统计学显著的相互作用。在eGFR<30 ml/(min·1.73 m²)的非透析依赖患者中,与宽松输血策略相比,限制性输血策略与30天死亡或复发性心肌梗死的较高风险相关(风险差异[RD],5.8%;95%置信区间[CI],0.4%至11.2%)。在eGFR为30 - 60 ml/(min·1.73 m²)的患者中,与宽松输血策略相比,限制性策略与30天死亡或复发性心肌梗死的风险相似(RD,3.7%;95% CI, - 0.9%至8.2%)。在需要透析的CKD患者中,与宽松输血策略相比,限制性策略与30天死亡或复发性心肌梗死的风险也相似(RD, - 2.6%;95% CI, - 10.0%至4.8%)。
在这项MINT亚组分析纳入的CKD患者中,宽松输血策略并不比限制性输血策略差,并且在未接受透析的亚组中危害较小且有利。
