This sub-study demonstrated that most cryoprecipitate administered in practice is ABO-compatible, despite the absence of guidelines or blood bank policies to support this practice. A signal towards increased risk of post-operative anaemia may be explained by higher rates of urgent surgery (vs. elective) in the ABO-incompatible group. Future studies should prospectively examine the impact of ABO-compatible versus incompatible cryoprecipitate to conclusively establish if there is a meaningful clinical impact associated with the administration of ABO-incompatible cryoprecipitate.
