ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of leukoreduction transfusion on improving medical quality. Methods The cases in our hospital which had RBC transfusion records in the past 3 years were collected and divided into two groups leukoreduction group(LR) and non-leukoreduction group(NLR). Through statistical analysis, the items related to leukoreduction were found out and the differences in these items between the two groups were compared. Results Operation complication, non-operation complication, infectious rate, transfusion reactions and mortality rate in LR group were significantly lower than those in NLR group. The transfusion of single components-RBC had less clinical side-effect than the transfusion of complex components including RBC. Conclusions Leukoreduction transfusion can effectively improve clinical therapy and promote the medical quality.
