چکیده
BACKGROUND Transfusions of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) are a worldwide ever-growing practice. The most advanced health care organizations, to guarantee high-quality standards of interventions and safe procedures, should disseminate scientific evidence for promoting the appropriateness of transfusions and reducing avoidable risks. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We carried out a systematic review of scientific literature searching for studies focused on the implementation of different strategy of organizational interventions aimed at improving clinicians' practice. RESULTS Of 915 studies, 10 articles were included in our meta-analysis of risk of inappropriate transfusion after the implementation of an organizational intervention. The risk ratio of inappropriate transfusions before organizational interventions was 2.02 (95% confidence interval, 1.44-2.84) compared with after interventions. CONCLUSION The organizational interventions showed a positive impact on the reduction of rates of inappropriate FFP transfusion episodes.
