Learning Objectives:

  • Describe how clinically insignificant variations in hemoglobin levels can lead to substantial differences in transfusion practices without affecting critical patient outcomes like mortality or readmission, underscoring the need to critically evaluate reliance on transfusion thresholds.
  • Discuss the association between perioperative red blood cell transfusions and venous thromboembolism (VTE), highlighting how machine learning captures differences in patient subgroups better than traditional regression models.
  • Identify the key factors driving variability in plasma transfusion practices across multiple hospitals.
  • Recognize the factors contributing to variability in red blood cell transfusion practices across hospitals, diagnoses, and physicians.
