This study examined the prevalence of high blood pressure, heart disease, and medical diagnoses in relation to blood disorders, among 6,329 adolescent students (age 15 to 18 years) who reside in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Findings indicated that the overall prevalence of high blood pressure and heart disease was 1.8% and 1.3%, respectively. Overall, the prevalence for thalassemia, sickle-cell anemia, and iron-deficiency anemia was 0.9%, 1.6%, and 5%, respectively. Bivariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the prevalence of high blood pressure among the local and expatriate adolescent population in the Emirate of Sharjah. Similarly, statistically significant differences in the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia were observed among the local and expatriate population in Abu Dhabi city, the western region of Abu Dhabi, and Al-Ain. Multivariate analysis revealed the following significant predictors of high blood pressure: residing in proximity to industry, nonconventional substance abuse, and age when smoking or exposure to smoking began. Ethnicity was a significant predictor of heart disease, thalassemia, sickle-cell anemia, and iron-deficiency anemia. In addition, predictors of thalassemia included gender (female) and participating in physical activity. Participants diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia and iron-deficiency anemia were more likely to experience different physical activities.

Aim    To evaluate possible social and economic benefits of correcting preoperative iron deficiency /iron deficiency anemia as a comorbidity in a model population in the process of transition from the routine practice to the optimized preparation of patients to elective surgery (as exemplified by several circulatory diseases: I20 – I25, class IX ICD 10).Material and methods    By building imitation models depending on the patient blood management (PBM) practice, changes in years of life lost/saved adjusted for disability were evaluated, including in monetary terms, in relation to the annual number of operations performed for ischemic heart disease (IHD) (I20 – I25) in the age group of 17 years and older, as well as a potential effect of PBM on the applied health economics.Results    With implementation of the PBM systemic measures in cardiac surgery, the potentially prevented annual social and economic damage will amount to more than 38 thousand years of life saved and more than 20.2 billion rubles in monetary terms. Furthermore, it will be possible to exclude 9435 hemotransfusion from the cardiosurgical practice, which will annually save more than 2.3 thousand liters of blood with a total cost of 77.7 million rubles in favor of clinical situations that have no alternative.Conclusion    The implementation of PBM in cardiac surgery, the discipline with the highest levels of preoperative iron deficiency/anemia and the use of blood components, will not only improve the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of surgical interventions, but will also prevent social and economic damage to the country.
