Study summary

Study the influence of transfusion related Patient Blood Management Program actions on transfusion-related outcome measures and cost.

Read the detailed description

At the University Hospital of Zurich, an in-house designed monitoring and feedback system was introduced which electronically registers each transfusion of any allogeneic blood product, be it red blood cells, plasma or platelets as well as corresponding laboratory data. Results are reported quarterly to Department heads. The investigator analyzes whether the introduction of this monitoring and feedback system as part of a patient blood management Program has a significant influence on use of allogeneic blood product transfusions and transfusion-related costs, without compromising patient outcome.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of transfusions per participant

    Participant wich had transfusion will be identified and the administrative, financial and clinical data will be compared to participants without transfusions

    Time frame: participants will be followed form date of hospital entry until date of discharge or date of death up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of transfusion of any blood product per participant

    Count of any blood products per case, QM Data

    Time frame: participants will be followed form date of hospital entry until date of discharge or date of death up to 3 years

  2. Cost of any blood product per participant

    costs per case

    Time frame: participants will be followed form date of hospital entry until date of discharge or date of death up to 3 years

  3. Survey of Patient Blood Management System

    clinical, financial,and administrative data of all participants will be reviewed on the focus on transfusions

    Time frame: participants will be followed form date of hospital entry until date of discharge or date of death up to 3 years
