Anaemia is one of the leading causes of death among severely injured patients. It is also known to increase the risk of death and prolong the length of hospital stay in various surgical groups. The main objective of this study is to analyse the anaemia rate on admission to the emergency department and the impact of anaemia on in-hospital mortality....

Packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion remains an integral part of trauma resuscitation and an independent predictor of unfavourable outcomes. It is often administered urgently based on clinical judgement. These facts put trauma patients at high risk of potentially dangerous overtransfusion. We hypothesised that trauma patients are frequently ove...

Although many authors have discussed total blood loss after arthroplasty of the knee, hip, and shoulder, reports on perioperative blood loss after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) are rare. The purpose of this study was to assess total blood loss after TAA and to identify correlated factors. A total of 103 cases (99 patients) of TAA for end-stage ank...

Previous studies of blood product use have shown higher inappropriate use of plasma compared with other products. Given typical weight-based dosing of plasma, we hypothesized that single plasma transfusions in adults would either be a nontherapeutic dose or outside clinical guidelines. A single-center, retrospective review of nonoperative, nonapher...

Elderly patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) undergoing hemiarthroplasty usually have poor physical condition. The main aim of this study was to identify risk factors for blood transfusion in these patients and construct a nomogram to intuitively predict the requirement of transfusion. The secondary purpose was to examine the relationship be...

Background Cord blood plays a very important role in stem cell transplantation and therapy with an emerging implication also in regenerative medicine. The number of cells available in a single cord blood unit (CBU), in particular, the CD34+ and total nucleated cell (TNC) content influences the transplantation clinical outcome. We analysed a very la...

It is well known that stem cell transplantation is curative for many diseases; however, graft versus host disease (GVHD), which is a common posttransplant complication, has still a substantial place among the causes of transplant-related morbidity and mortality. The association between ABO incompatibility and GVHD is controversial. There is also li...

Blood transfusion is often utilized in surgery. Greece is the second-highest consumer of blood components in Europe. It has been shown that at least half of all transfusions are unnecessary and could be avoided. Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) are a Christian religion that do not accept transfusion of whole blood or the four primary components of blood-n...

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of blood transfusion timing in hip fracture patients. A consecutive series of hip fracture patients 55 years and older who required a blood transfusion during hospitalization were reviewed for demographic, injury, clinical outcome, and cost information. A validated risk predictive score (STTGMA)...
