Comparative changes of pre-operative autologous transfusions and peri-operative cell salvage in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With improved safety of allogeneic blood supply, the use of preoperative autologous donations (PADs) and perioperative autologous cell salvage (PACS) has evolved. This study evaluated temporal trends in PAD and PACS use in the United States.

Methods

The National Inpatient Sample database, a stratified probability sample of 20% of hospitalizations in the United States, was used to compare temporal trends in hospitalizations reporting use of PADs and PACS from 1995 to 2015. Factors associated with their use were examined between 2012 and 2015 with use of multivariable Poisson regression. Sampling weights were applied to generate nationally representative estimates.

Results

There was a steady decrease in hospitalizations reporting PAD transfusions from 27.90 p
