Description
Allison Mo and colleagues tracked how blood transfusion use shifted for bone-marrow failure syndromes in Victoria. Published in 2026, the linkage study covered 7,043 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia from 2009 to 2022. Real-world transfusion needs were thinly mapped, even as new disease-slowing drugs arrived.
Patients logged 55,048 red-cell and 10,749 platelet transfusion events over a median near-two years of follow-up. By five years after diagnosis, the average patient had 14 red-cell and 3 platelet transfusion stays, with load varying by disease subtype. Platelet stays ran higher after 2011, by 0.8 more within two years, while red-cell stays held flat. The authors flag blood-supply planning and call for research to fine-tune platelet use.
