“…In agreement with this study, we found that increased perfusion time is associated with increased risk of transfusion. However, patients with short perfusion times may be still at risk for receiving a blood transfusion [15]. Recognition of risk factors for blood transfusion may help identify patients at high risk for transfusion and facilitate decision-making to reduce perioperative blood transfusion [14].…”

“…4 This is a common feature of existing predictive models for blood transfusion or bleeding, all of which have been developed in single-centre cardiac surgery populations. 88,[170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179] Other limitations include heterogeneity in the definition of the reference outcome (any transfusion, red cell transfusion, bleeding), restriction to a particular type of cardiac surgery (e.g. isolated CABG [170][171][172][173] ) or small sample sizes 176,179 or presentation of regression model beta-coefficients rather than a useable risk score.…”

“…In recommending the use of multi-modality blood conservation strategies, clinical guidelines often cite studies that found such strategies to be highly efficacious in reducing exposure to allogeneic blood transfusions. 14,15 These and other similar studies, however, have important limitations -often, they are small, single-centre studies that lack proper controls or blinding -that may limit their generalizability. In the first rigorous examination of such strategies, Feagan and associates randomized 30 hospitals to implement a multi-modality blood conservation strategy or to continue with standard care (which included the use of autologous predonation in about 25% of cases) in orthopedic surgery patients.…”

“…Dans leurs recommandations au sujet de l'utilisation de stratégies multimodales de conservation du sang, les directives cliniques citent souvent des études qui ont démontré que de telles stratégies étaient très efficaces dans la réduction de l'exposition des patients aux transfusions de sang allogène. 14,15 Ces études -ainsi que d'autres allant dans la même direction -comportent toutefois des limitations importantes : souvent, elles sont de petite échelle et réalisées dans un seul centre, ce qui a pour résultat qu'elles manquent des contrôles et techniques en aveugle adéquats. Pour cette raison, leur potentiel de généralisation est limité.…”
