Background: The factors contributing to blood transfusions in patients with anemia of chronic disease are not well documented in the literature. We analyzed all blood transfusion events within a single oncology practice to determine if certain chemotherapy drugs, cancer types, or other factors necessitated more frequent transfusions.
Patients And Methods: Out of 331 patients receiving chemotherapy, 103 (31%) patients received a blood transfusion in 1995.
