Effectiveness of Leukocyte Reduction Filters in Treatment of Adult Acute (1)
The objective of this study effectiveness of leukocyte reduction filters in treatment of adult acute, was to compare the cost and effectiveness of three transfusion strategies in the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia: 1) the use of unfiltered pooled platelets until alloimmunization developed and of crossmatch-compatible single-donor platelets thereafter; 2) the use of filtered blood components until alloimmunization occurred and of crossmatch-compatible single-donor platelets thereafter; and 3) the use of single-donor platelets from the beginning.
