Abstract
Blood transfusions are associated with increased surgical wound infections, composite morbidity and mortality. Based on our analysis of the NSQIP database, transfusion practices in gynecologic cancer should be scrutinized. Examination of institutional practices and creation of transfusion guidelines for gynecologic malignancies could potentially result in better utilization of blood bank resources and clinical outcomes among patients.
