Transfusions of red blood cells significantly decreased by 32.4% after the new guidelines were implemented, indicating improved compliance.
The appropriateness of RBC transfusions increased from 53.6% in the pre-introduction phase to 79.1% by the end of the post-introduction phase, showing clear efficacy.
Data analyzed spanned from January 2022 to December 2023, comparing ordering patterns before and after the new procedure was introduced.
The study's findings suggest a sustained improvement in transfusion practices over time, supporting the use of a guideline-based approach.
