Determinants of transfusion decisions in the ICU: haemoglobin concentration, what else? - a retrospective cohort study.

abstract：:The international media attention to "bad blood" has fueled governmental action in countries around the world. Donor selection criteria continue to expand, focusing most recently on the possibility of exclusion due to intranasal cocaine use and, in the US, due to incarceration for more than 72 hours. As newer methods ...
