Is a cross-match necessary before a cat’s first blood transfusion?
PICO question In transfusion-naïve cats receiving a type specific blood transfusion is cross-matched blood (major and minor) associated with an increased haematocrit development and reduction in acute transfusion reactions when compared with those ...

Serum osmolarity and haematocrit do not modify the association between the impedance index (Ht2/Z) and total body water in the very old: The Newcastle 85+ Study [PDF]
Bioelectrical impedance is a non-invasive technique for the assessment of body composition; however, information on its accuracy in the very old (80+ years) is limited.

Haematocrit, glycosylated haemoglobin and diabetic microangiopathy [PDF]
Dear Sir, Bodansky et al. in a letter to the editor (Diabetologia 19: 163, 1980) commented on the paper of Graham et al. (Diabetologia 18: 205, 1980) and questioned their finding of a weak positive correlation (r = 0.32) of total red cell count to glycosylated haemoglobin in 110 adult diabetic patients.

Does sticky blood predict a sticky end? Associations of blood viscosity, haematocrit and fibrinogen with mortality in the West of Scotland [PDF]
There is increasing evidence that blood viscosity and its major determinants (haematocrit, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen) are associated with an increased risk of incident cardiovascular events; however, their associations with mortality are not ...
