Key Points
The trends in the utilization of blood transfusion in spinal fusion in the US
from 2000 to 2009 were studied.
The overall transfusion rates for spinal fusion remained stable in the US during
the last decade.
During the last decade, the ALBT rate increased, whereas the PR-ABT rate
decreased in patients who underwent spinal fusion in US hospitals.
The overall transfusion rate may be reduced by utilizing a patient blood
management program, targeting the subgroups of patients with the high ALBT
rate.
