简要总结
The aim of this trial is to determine if the transfusion of one unit of red blood cells to anemic oncology patients results in comparable numbers of transfusion episodes when compared to transfusion of two units of red blood cells.
详细描述
The aim of this trial is to determine if administration of one unit of red blood cells to anemic oncology patients is non-inferior to the administration of two units of red blood cells in terms of the number of annual transfusion episodes. If demonstrated, our findings will cut the total transfusion episode time in half and avoid exposure to an additional unit of red blood cells while freeing up scarce hospital resources.
