Popis: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) has demonstrated improved survival in selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). This treatment modality is associated with high blood loss and often requires massive allogenic red blood cell transfusion (MABT). Our study is the first of its kind to evaluate the risk factors for intraoperative MABT in peritonectomy procedures. Two hundred and forty-three consecutive CRS and PIC procedures were evaluated. The associations between 17 preoperative and intraoperative risk factors and intraoperative MABT (≥6 units) were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis. One hundred and eighty-six (77%) procedures required intraoperative transfusion of packed red blood cells. Ninety-one procedures required MABT (37%). Multivariate analysis showed six significant risk factors for intraoperative MABT: operative length > 9 h (p
