{"title":"The Crossmatch-to-Transfusion Ratio as a Quality Indicator for Blood Bank Utilization: A Retrospective Analysis.","authors":"Parth Shailesh Bhatt, Siddhartha D Ghelani, Shreya H Solanki","doi":"10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_1636_25","DOIUrl":"10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_1636_25","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>With the rising demand for blood products in India, it is imperative to ensure efficient utilisation of available resources within blood banks. This study aims to assess the crossmatch-to-transfusion (C/T) ratio as a metric for evaluating and optimizing blood utilisation practices. Analysing the C/T ratio across various clinical departments will help identify inefficiencies in blood ordering protocols and support the implementation of corrective strategies to improve overall resource management.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Blood Center of Dr. N. D. Desai Medical College & Hospital. Data were collected over one year period from January 2024 to December 2024. The number of cross-matched and transfused data were collected from crossmatch request forms, crossmatch registers, issue registers, and digital medical records.
