Cost-Effectiveness

Clinical research has shown that, on average, the use of evidence-based treatment strategies that preempt blood transfusion leads to comparable or superior outcomes at similar or reduced cost. The true cost of allogeneic blood transfusions includes direct costs (such as donor recruitment, screening, collection, processing, testing, storage, distribution, disposal of unused inventory, and hemovigilance programs) as well as indirect costs (such as hospital-acquired infections, cancer recurrence, longer hospital stays, and increased hospital mortality). Clinicians can provide safe, cost-effective, evidence-based, quality medical care without dependence on allogeneic blood transfusion.

It provides neither medical advice nor treatment recommendations and does not substitute for an appropriately qualified health-care provider. The clinical literature cited is not published by Jehovah’s Witnesses, but it outlines transfusion-alternative strategies that might be considered. It is the responsibility of each qualified health-care provider to maintain awareness of new information, discuss options for care, and assist patients in making choices in accord with their medical condition, wishes, values, and beliefs. Not all listed strategies are appropriate or acceptable to all patients.
