Development and Validation of a Checklist for Safe Blood Transfusion in Anesthesia: A Methodological Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Blood transfusion is a vital and life-saving intervention in medical care and anesthesia that saves millions of lives worldwide each year. Therefore, ensuring safety at every stage of the transfusion process is essential. Accordingly, the present study aimed to develop and psychometrically validate a checklist for safe blood transfusion during anesthesia. Methods: This methodological descriptive-analytical study was done between December 2024 and April 2025. Initially, a comprehensive literature search was performed using electronic databases and reputable scientific sources. Existing blood transfusion checklists used in healthcare settings were reviewed, and relevant items were extracted to create an item pool. The Australian Blood Transfusion Checklist was selected as the foundational framework. Subsequently, brainstorming sessions were held with experts in anesthesia and hematology, resulting in a preliminary checklist draft. Face and content validity were assessed using the impact factor (IF), content validity index (CVI), and content validity ratio (CVR). Checklist reliability was evaluated using inter-rater agreement, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The initial draft included 30 items. All items met the face validity criterion, with an IF > 1.5. Regarding content validity, based on the evaluations of 11 experts and according to Lawshe's table, 28 items achieved a CVR above 0.59. Two items that did not meet the acceptable CVI or CVR thresholds were excluded from the final checklist. Cronbach's alpha for the entire instrument was 0.828, and ICC for inter-rater reliability was 0.976 (95% CI: 0.967-0.983; Conclusion: The findings indicate that the developed checklist for safe blood transfusion during anesthesia is a reliable tool for use in anesthesia settings. The implementation of this checklist has the potential to standardize care, reduce clinical errors, and enhance patient safety during blood administration.
