Description
Tianlong Wang leads a twenty-three-author team reporting a 2026 multicentre validation of a transfusion risk score for heart surgery on bypass. The FW-TRIC score was built earlier at Fuwai Hospital to forecast which patients will need red blood cell transfusion, a common event tied to worse outcomes. This study tested it externally in 3,287 adults operated on at nine Chinese cardiovascular centres during 2024, excluding transplant, mechanical support, and pre-transfused cases.
The overall transfusion rate reached 40.1 percent, giving the test plenty of events to judge. Discrimination was good, with an area under the curve of 0.713, and calibration was excellent, meaning predicted rates matched observed ones closely. Every single ingredient of the score, from age to surgery type, predicted worse alone than the combined score did. Performance held across all nine centres, with each centre's area above 0.65 on that measure. The authors back its use for blood management planning.
