Estimating the cost of blood: past, present, and future directions.
257
TL;DR: New approaches have been initiated to identify all potential cost elements related to blood and blood product administration and activities are under way to tie these elements together in a comprehensive and practical model that will be applicable to all single-donor blood products without regard to practice type.

Activity-based costs of blood transfusions in surgical patients at four hospitals
TL;DR: Determining the cost of supplying patients with blood transfusions requires an in‐depth examination of the complex array of activities surrounding the decision to transfuse.

Patient blood management in Europe
Aryeh Shander,H. Van Aken,Maria J. Colomina,Hans Gombotz,Axel Hofmann,R. Krauspe,Sigismond Lasocki,Toby Richards,R. Slappendel,Donat R. Spahn +9 more
TL;DR: There is a pressing need for European healthcare providers to integrate PBM strategies into routine care for patients undergoing orthopaedic and other types of surgery in order to reduce the use of unnecessary transfusions and improve the quality of care.

Fibrinogen as a therapeutic target for bleeding: a review of critical levels and replacement therapy.
TL;DR: Results show that fibrinogen concentrate is associated with a reduction or even total avoidance of allogeneic blood product transfusion, and represents an important option for the treatment of coagulopathic bleeding; further studies are needed to determine precise dosing strategies and thresholds for fibr inogen supplementation.

TL;DR: Severe sepsis is a common, expensive, and frequently fatal condition, with as many deaths annually as those from acute myocardial infarction, and is especially common in the elderly and is likely to increase substantially as the U.S. population ages.

The Risk of Transfusion-Transmitted Viral Infections
TL;DR: The risk of transmitting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV), the hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) from screened blood units donated during the window period following a recent, undetected infection is estimated.

TL;DR: This multicenter observational study reveals the common occurrence of anemia and the large use of blood transfusion in critically ill patients and provides evidence of an association between transfusions and diminished organ function as well as between transfusion and mortality.
