Presenting the rationale of clinical research methods, this text describes their application in the field of transfusion medicine. In addition, it provides the tools needed to understand and practice evidence-based medicine, as well as an objective assessment of the risks that are presently associated with blood transfusion. Readers do not need to possess a prior knowledge of statistics to understand the clinical research tools discussed or the application of these tools in transfusion medicine. The concepts and tools of epidemiology are presented with an example-based approach and the treatment of the methodological issues is conceptual. Current issues addressed include NAT and the Allogenic Blood Supply, transfusion-associated hepatitus C virus, the issue of Creutzfeld-Jakob disease and transfusion transmission, allogenic blood transfusion and postoperative infection and cancer recurrence, and the cost-effectiveness of preoperative autologous blood donation.
Basic concepts; statistical associations and cause and effect relationships; diagnostic accuracy and clinical value of laboratory tests used to screen the allogenic blood supply for infectious disease markers; assessment of the risk of transfusion-transmitted viral infectionsl current issues in transfusion-transmitted hepatitus C virus infection; assessment of the risk of emerging transfusion-transmitted infections; epidemiology of blood transfusion and forecasts of the demand for blood; sources and uses of data on long-term survival after blood transfusion; applications of meta-analysis in transfusion medicine; deleterious clinical effects of transfusion-associated immunomodulation; applications of cost-effectiveness analysis in transfusion medicine; applications of outcomes research in transfusion medicine.
