Significant reduction of red blood cell transfusion requirements by changing from a double-unit to a single-unit transfusion policy in patients receiving intensive chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation. Safety and efficacy of a Hb-triggered single-unit red cell transfusion policy for haemato-oncological inpatients Regarding threshold non-adherences during the restrictive period, patients' measured Hb levels exceeded their individual Hb transfusion threshold by <=3 and <=8 g/l in 16-9% and 30-9% of all RBC transfusions (Fig 2B). This patient characteristic imbalance resulted in a higher proportion of patients under the restrictive protocol who did not receive RBC transfusions at the stricter Hb threshold of <73 g/l, potentially inducing an underestimation of the impact outcomes described below.
