Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients admitted to the ICU at the participating hospitals during the specified time frame.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who were not admitted to the ICU or those who received transfusions outside the study period may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to correlate transfusion monitoring with the prognostic outcomes of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). It will analyze data from patients admitted to medical and surgical resuscitation units at Besançon and Dijon university hospitals between January 2012 and December 2017. The findings could inform transfusion recommendations and improve monitoring practices in ICUs, particularly in the context of post-ICU and post-discharge care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved transfusion practices that enhance patient outcomes in intensive care settings.
How similar studies have gone: While there may be studies on transfusion practices, this specific observational approach focusing on ICU outcomes is relatively novel.
