TL;DR: This study sought to determine the appropriateness of RBC transfusions at 10 hospitals using retrospective chart review and to determine whether simple metrics (proportion of single‐unit transfusions, RBCs/100 acute inpatient days, proportion of transfusions with pretransfusion hemoglobin <80 g/L) could be used as surrogate markers ofappropriateness by comparing their values with the results from the audit.
