Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2010-2019) to identify risk factors for blood transfusions in patients undergoing abdominal radical hysterectomy.
- Blood transfusions were given to 14.84% of patients, with a decrease over the years; those who received transfusions faced longer hospital stays, higher costs, and increased complications such as pneumonia and deep vein thrombosis.
- Key independent risk factors for requiring transfusions included being Black or Asian/Pacific Islander, undergoing non-elective surgery, rural hospitalization, and pre-existing conditions like coagulopathy and anemia.
