Blood use and transfusion needs at a large health care system in Washington state during the <scp>SARS‐CoV</scp>‐2 pandemic

Abstract

The response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic included changes in routine hospital operations that allowed for the provision of a sufficient level of care for patients with and without COVID-19. Although blood type may play a role in COVID-19 susceptibility, it did not seem to be associated with patient mortality.
