  Abstract

 Background and Objectives

 Blood is a valuable product whose storage, distribution, and utilization requires great attention. Overprescription of blood decreases blood quality and makes blood less fresh . Overprescription of blood is one of the important problems of clinical centers so we decided to assess blood ordering and utilization in hospitals of Babol city.

  

 Materials and Methods

 This retrospective-descriptive study was carried out at university hospitals in Babol 690 patients in operational wards of 3 hospitals were included in this study. Data were retrieved during 9 months from blood banks of these centers. C/T ratio and TI were calculated for each ward and hospital.

 

 Results

 Out of 690 patients, 304 were from Shahid Beheshti Hospital, 115 from Yahyajejhad Hospital and 271 from Rohani Hospital. Out of the total number, 396 (57.4%) were female and 294 (42.6%) male. C/T ratio and TI were 1.05 and 1.73, respectively.

 

 Conclusions

 With regard to these findings, the C/T ratio and TI of these hospitals were in the standard range. We suggest that the same study is done in all hospitals regularly. If these indices aren’t proper in a certain center, Type and Screening (T&S) and MSBOS program should be performed.
