Retrospective Audit of Transfusion Reactions in a Tertiary-Care Hospital in South India

The relatively low incidence of transfusion reactions in this study (0.5%) may be due to our study's underreporting of transfusion reactions. This difference highlights the need to conduct continuous medical, educational programs for all healthcare professionals involved in the transfusion chain. Such programs should highlight the importance of documentation and reporting of adverse transfusion reactions so that hemovigilance systems can be established for improved patient care.
