What does this research mean for the field?

Among surgical patients, older age, emergency admission, and low admission hemoglobin significantly predict the need for blood transfusion, which is associated with poorer clinical outcomes including higher mortality and longer hospital stays. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate the crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio and identify factors influencing transfusion outcomes among surgical patients.

Overview

Retrospective study evaluates transfusion factors in surgical patients, suggesting optimization for better outcomes.

Key Points

To evaluate the crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio and identify factors influencing transfusion outcomes among surgical patients.
Conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study using records of 419 patients from January to December 2022.
Utilized systematic sampling and analyzed patient demographics and clinical factors via descriptive and multivariate analyses.
Applied binary logistic regression to identify predictors of transfusion outcomes.
Crossmatch requests primarily came from male patients (52.3%) and those over 60 years (50.8%).
Overall crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio was 1.42, with significant predictors including age over 60 and emergency admissions (P < 0.001).
Transfused patients showed higher rebleeding rates (P=0.05), longer hospital stays (~12 days), and lower discharge hemoglobin (8.85 g/dL).
