- Abstract
Preoperative anaemia confers a higher intraoperative and postoperative risk of complications on a patient. Preclinical anaemia is defined as a patient with laboratory indices of anaemia but without any of the symptoms. The patient population who undergo total hip replacement (THR) are elderly and are more likely to fall into this category. Our aim was to assess the effect of preclinical anaemia on a patient's postoperative course.
