Quality metrics for perioperative red blood cell transfusion in gastrointestinal cancer surgery: international Delphi consensus

doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zragโฆ
A consensus on quality metrics to assess and monitor the use of perioperative red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) in gastrointestinal cancer surgery was generated through a four-round modified Delphi process with 37 international experts. Consensus was reached on 18 quality metrics across structures, processes, and outcomes of care, reflecting both clinical importance and feasibility. These expert-endorsed metrics can support institutions and health systems in monitoring RBCT practices, with a view to reducing unwarranted variation in RBCT use and improving patient outcomes and blood resource stewardship in gastrointestinal cancer surgery.
