Key result
Among 2,370 elective surgical patients, preoperative blood cross-matching showed an overall cross-match to transfusion ratio of 1.8, transfusion index of 0.5, and transfusion probability of 61.7%.

The study demonstrates adequate overall blood utilization indices for elective surgeries, supporting the use of a maximum surgical blood ordering schedule (MSBOS) to reduce unnecessary cross-matching and blood wastage.
Negi et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Elective surgical procedures (n=2,370). Preoperative blood cross-matching was evaluated on Cross-match to transfusion ratio (C/T), Transfusion probability (T%), and Transfusion index (TI). Among 2,370 elective surgical patients, preoperative blood cross-matching showed an overall cross-match to transfusion ratio of 1.8, transfusion index of 0.5, and transfusion probability of 61.7%.
