“…A recent meta-analysis reported a prevalence of SSI of 2.88% in patients who undergo TJA and received an allogenic blood transfusion compared with 1.74% among those who did not. 70 This supports earlier studies that showed a two-fold greater risk for PJI in patients who have a transfusion. 71,72 Pre-operative screening of haemoglobin levels and the use of erythropoietin aim to maximise the levels of haemoglobin.…”

“…Second, over 80% of the increase in RBC usage concerns patients undergoing orthopedic and cardiac surgeries. For orthopedic surgery, the increase can simply be explained by a relevant increase in the number of patients treated (842 vs. 1250 patients), because the mean number of units transfused for each patients did not change (2.6 vs. 2.5 units), nor did the transfusion rate, which remained approximately 20%, comparable to data from the literature . For heart surgery, there was an important shift in the type of surgery: although the total number of patients in this group was lower in Period 2, the number of procedures with a greater risk of blood loss was markedly higher.…”

“…For example, inconsistent use of blood products during various surgical procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting, has heightened scrutiny over the appropriateness of transfusion across medical and surgical procedures . Recent studies also have described an association between liberal transfusion policies and increased incidence of health care‐associated infections, including surgical site infections and sepsis . Other studies have implicated high PLT dosing as a risk factor for transfusion‐associated adverse events, and transfusions in patients with certain gastrointestinal and other metastatic diseases may be associated with reduced chances of remission and survival .…”
