Abstract
Widespread concern about the safety of the national blood supply, particularly with respect to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has reportedly affected the use of blood products to support patients. To examine these changes, we conducted national surveys of blood collection and transfusion in the United States in 1982, 1984, 1986, and 1987 and made a limited survey of these activities in 1988.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
