Cost‐effectiveness of red blood cell transfusion vs. non‐intervention in women with acute anaemia after postpartum haemorrhage

Abstract

In women with acute anaemia after postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), RBC transfusion is on average €249 more expensive per woman than non-intervention, with only a small gain in HRQoL after RBC transfusion. Taking both clinical and economic consequences into account, implementation of a non-intervention policy seems justified.
