ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether the amount of blood transfusion affects the lengths of stay (LOS),costs,and outcomes of hospital patients or not,and to prepare for the execution of patient blood management.Methods The data of hospital patients,who had been administrated with blood in our hospital during 2016,were collected.And the influence of blood transfusion volume on LOS,costs and outcomes of patients was analyzed retrospectively.Results LOS,costs and outcomes of patients vary significantly with the amount of blood transfusion (P＜0.01).There were positive correlations between the total amount of blood transfusion and LOS,costs,and outcomes of patients.The Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.317,0.497,0.290,respectively (P＜0.01).Plasma preparation transfusion volume has a great influence on LOS,costs,and outcomes than red blood cell (P＜0.05).The transfusion volume of death patients was significantly higher than that of the survival (P＜0.01).In particular,the amount of transfused plasma and precipitation was distinctly higher than that in death patients(P＜0.01).Conclusion Blood transfusion volume affects LOS,costs and outcomes of hospital patients.The administration of plasma preparations should deserve more attention.
