The cost of transfusing a unit of red blood cells: a costing model for Canadian hospital use

ConclusionThis study's in‐hospital costs of $243·10 summed with the $423·00 acquisition costs per unit PRBC from the blood supplier place the complete societal costs of one unit PRBCs at $666·10. This value is comparable, but lower than the majority of studies in the United States and Europe examining the societal costs of PRBCs.
