Background: ABO-incompatible red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and acute hemolytic reactions occur infrequently, yet resultant fatalities are reported to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) every year. We describe a 20-year retrospective study of reported mistransfusion cases to identify temporal trends, common causes, and corrective actions taken to prevent recurrence.
Study Design And Methods: ABO-incompatible RBC transfusion-related fatalities reported to the FDA in 2000-2019 were reviewed for patient demographics, primary attributed cause, contributing factors, and corrective actions.
