Discussion

Retrospective analysis examines outpatient red blood cell transfusion determinants, indicating patient characteristics influence outcomes.

Outpatient RBC transfusions are primarily indicated for blood disorders and solid tumors, accounting for 82% of usage.
On average, hemoglobin increased by 1.04 g/dL per unit transfused, with male sex and lower pretransfusion Hb as negative factors.
The analysis involved 804 patients over 5591 visits, revealing key correlations between patient height, sex, and transfusion frequency.
Nonsevere adverse reactions occurred in up to 0.24% of transfusions, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring.

Hemesath et al. (2025) studied this question.
