Comparison of patients who received autologous blood transfusion to those who did not. Elevated body mass index and higher estimated blood loss were significantly more likely to receive an autologous blood transfusion. There was no association between volume or rate of allogenic blood transfused preoperatively, intraoperatively, or postoperatively in patients who received an autologous transfusion compared to patients who did not. There was no association between surgical approach, gender, or fracture pattern and those receiving an autologous transfusion. IL = Ilioinguinal, KL = Kocher-Langenbeck, ASA = American Society of Anesthesiology Score, BMI = body mass index, EBL = estimated blood loss, EF–elementary fracture pattern, AF = associated fracture pattern.
