dc.description.abstractBackground: Transfusion of blood and blood components among obstetrics patients is a common practice. However, it is associated with significant clinical risks. There is usually high request for blood transfusion among obstetrics patients but only some is used for transfusion. This study aimed to determine the crossmatch to transfusion ratio (C: T ratio) and the factors that contribute to red blood cells transfusion among obstetrics patients. Methods: Retrospective cohort study with data collected from crossmatch requests forms of 350 obstetrics patients who were admitted to Hospital Serdang. Results: The mean C:T ratio is 3.08. Majority of the patients transfused were those who had intrapartum fever (60%), haemoglobinopathy (75.9%), those who consumed anti-thrombotic medications (100%), those who had history of post-partum haemorrhage (63.6%) and those who underwent laparotomy (100.0%). In addition, most of the patients who had haemoglobin level <7g/dL (90.5%) and patients with estimated blood loss >2 litre were also transfused. Caesarean section, haemoglobin level and estimated blood loss were the factors that significantly associated with red blood cells transfusion (p<0.05) among obstetrics patients. Conclusions: Identification of the factors contributing to red blood cells transfusion among obstetrics patients, results in minimising the unnecessary blood ordering.
