Prediction Models for Perioperative Blood Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Gynecologic Surgery: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: This systematic review aimed to evaluate prediction models for perioperative blood transfusion in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Given the inherent risks associated with blood transfusion and the critical need for accurate prediction, this study identified and assessed models based on their development, validation, and predictive performance. The review included five studies encompassing various surgical procedures and approaches. Predicting factors commonly used across these models included preoperative hematocrit, race, surgical route, and uterine fibroid characteristics. However, the review highlighted significant variability in the definition of perioperative periods, a lack of standardization in transfusion criteria, and a high risk of bias in most models due to methodologic
