In order to determine whether G&amp;S testing is required prior to these procedures, we set out to evaluate the relevant literature and associated rates of perioperative blood transfusion.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Studies from January 1990 to June 2021 assessing the requirement of preoperative G&amp;S testing for elective or emergency cholecystectomy and appendectomy were retrieved from MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL databases. The search was performed on 6th July 2021 (PROSPERO registration number CRD42021267967). Number of patients, co-morbidities, operation performed, number of patients that underwent preoperative G&amp;S testing, perioperative transfusion rates and financial costs were extracted.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We initially screened 194 studies of which 15 retrospective studies, a total of 477,437 patients, specifically met the inclusion criteria. Ten studies reported on cholecystectomy, two studies on appendectomy and three studies included both procedures. Where reported, a total of 177,539\/469,342 (37.8%) patients underwent preoperative G&amp;S testing with a perioperative transfusion rate of 2.1% (range 0.0 to 2.1%). The main preoperative risk factors associated with perioperative blood transfusion identified include cardiovascular co-morbidity, coagulopathy, anaemia and haematological malignancy. All 15 studies concluded that routine G&amp;S is not warranted.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The current evidence suggests that G&amp;S is not necessarily required for all patients undergoing cholecystectomy or appendectomy. Having a targeted G&amp;S approach would reduce delays in elective and emergency lists, reduce the burden on the blood transfusion service and have financial implications.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00423-022-02600-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,2]],"date-time":"2022-07-02T08:05:52Z","timestamp":1656749152000},"page":"2205-2216","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Requirement of preoperative blood typing for cholecystectomy and appendectomy: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"407","author":[{"given":"Michael G","family":"Fadel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ishaan","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lawrence","family":"O\u2019Leary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nebil","family":"Behar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Brewer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2600_CR1","unstructured":"National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
