Population

Patients scheduled for major surgery

Intervention

Pre-operative haematological assessment (evaluation of erythropoiesis, coagulation status, and platelet function) as part of patient blood management

A multidisciplinary patient blood management strategy, including pre-operative haematological assessment, may reduce allogeneic blood transfusion and improve surgical outcomes.
