For surgeons in Scotland submission of data to the BAUS audits was voluntary until March 2016. In relation to Mr Crooks' transfusion rate, some of these patients are difficult high risk patients referred from the regional Multidisciplinary Discussion Meeting who have no other option but an attempt at surgery. In addition, since this patient population has a higher rate of cardiovascular disease than the rest of the UK, some patients are transfused at an earlier stage during their surgery to reduce their risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attacks and hopefully improve their overall outcome.
