About

The study evaluates the patient related risk and predictive factors concerning perioperative homologous blood cell transfusion (erythrocyte concentrate ) in THA patients in one EndoCert max-certified orthopedic hospital in Germany.

A patient oriented preoperative decision-making algorithm (a personalised Patient Blood Management or pPBM App) will be developed as a new patient-safety blood-sparing strategy.

The aim is to increase the patient safety by using the pPBM App and to reach a more efficient management of resources.
