Study Arms (1)

Transfusion

Patients (n:892) were enrolled who underwent elective major surgery between the 01/01/2016-31/12/2016, and over the age of 18 years. They separated subgroups as restrictive and liberal blood transfusion groups

Other: restrictive and liberal transfusion

Interventions

hemoglobin threshold value was accepted 8g/dl. restrictive blood transfusion group was defined that if perioperative transfusion was started equal or under hemoglobin level 8 g / dL. Liberal blood transfusion group was defined as perioperative transfusion was started over hemoglobin level 8 g / dL .
