QIs defined by ISBT QM\u2010WP were further developed and revised considering data obtained from an international survey on QIs, targeted consultations with members of the ISBT QM\u2010WP and individual expert opinions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Several revisions of quality indicators proposed by ISBT QM\u2010WP have been published.
