Background: To investigate factors associated with change of post-transfusion hemoglobin level, and to derive an equation that predicts post-transfusion changes in hemoglobin levels in hemodynamically stable anemic patients who visited,emergency department. Methods: A retrospective medical record review of patients who were hemodynamically stable and transfused with packed red blood cells was undertaken. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. One group (derivation group, 70% of total patients) was analyzed for factors associated with changes in post-transfusion hemoglobin levels, and linear regression analysis was performed to derive a prediction equation. The derived prediction equation was then externally validated with the other...
