Predictors for blood loss and transfusion frequency to guide blood saving programs in primary knee- and hip-arthroplasty

Abstract Endoprosthetic surgery can lead to relevant blood loss resulting in red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. This study aimed to identify risk factors for blood loss and RBC transfusion that enable the prediction of an individualized transfusion probability to guide preoperative RBC provision and...
