National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey
The National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and conducted by AABB, offers a comprehensive analysis of collection and utilization of blood, blood products and cellular therapies in the United States. The results of the survey are used to support important blood-related initiatives by the federal government as well as within the transfusion medicine community.
This survey of hospitals, blood centers and cord blood banks is conducted biennially. It solicits general information about the blood collection facility, transfusion service or cord blood bank and, depending on the specific activity of the facility, more specific data regarding blood collection, transfusion, cellular therapies and product modification, including leukoreduction and irradiation.
