A data‐informed system to manage scarce blood product allocation in a randomized controlled trial of convalescent plasma
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Equitable allocation of scarce blood products needed for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is a complex decision-making process within the blood supply chain. Strategies to improve resource allocation in this setting are lacking.
