Abstract:
Blood safety decision making has become increasingly complex, and a framework for risk-based decision making is, thus, needed. The purpose of this consensus conference was to bring together international experts in an effort to develop the foundations for such a framework. These proceedings are described with a view to making available to the transfusion medicine community the considerable amount of information and insight that was presented and that emerged through debate by the experts, panel members, and delegates.
