Determinants of Intraoperative Transfusions in Adult Spinal Deformity Patients

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgeries are known to have significant morbidity. Blood loss is a major concern and often results in high transfusion rates. Transfusions may be associated with increased infection risks and transfusion reactions. The goal of this study was to determine predictors of allogeneic packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion in ASD patients.
