Abstract

The scope of the work described in this thesis is to examine whether potential transfusion related and clinical risk factors modulate the risk of alloimmunization in a general, previously not transfused, non alloimmunized population of transfusion recipients. In these studies we emphasize the methodological aspects of observational research in clinical transfusion medicine
