Blood transfusion requirement after primary total hip replacements (THR) and total knee replacements (TKR) was found to be related to increased post-operative complications rate and length of hospital stay. Pre-operative haemoglobin level remains the single most important factor determining the requirement for post-operative blood transfusion. We carried out a local retrospective audit of 977 THRs and TKRs in 2019. Pre-operative and pre-transfusion haemoglobin levels for transfused group of patients were recorded.Abstract
