Improving patient outcomes through understanding and changing transfusion practice

输血在临床医学的许多领域起着中心作用。尽管它被广泛使用，但在很大程度上，临床实践的证据是有限的。本研究的目的是调查目前临床医学中血液制品的使用情况。有关输血的数据将与现有的临床登记相联系，以检查输血做法如何影响包括创伤、外科和重症监护在内的一系列临床领域的患者结果。

Blood transfusion has a central role in many areas of clinical medicine. Despite its widespread use, there are large areas where evidence to inform clinical practice is limited. The aim of this proposed research is to investigate the current use of blood products in clinical medicine. Data on blood transfusion will be linked with existing clinical registries to examine how transfusion practice influences patient outcomes in a range of clinical areas including trauma, surgery and critical care.
