Scientists

Scientists will have access to a unique longitudinal dataset that will foster innovative research and contribute to the advancement of transfusion medicine.

Unique longitudinal dataset and FAIR data sharing

The LOS Registry provides researchers with access to a comprehensive dataset that tracks patient health outcomes over a 30-year period. This unique longitudinal data provides invaluable insight into the long-term impact of blood transfusions and donations, allowing researchers to identify trends, risk factors and outcomes that were previously unknown. The study promotes the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for data sharing, ensuring that data is available for collaborative research while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and security. This approach not only facilitates ground-breaking research, but also ensures that the results are widely disseminated and utilised.

Joint research and scientific progress

The LOS promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists, physicians, and data experts. This collaborative environment allows researchers to share knowledge, methods and best practices to drive innovation in transfusion medicine. Scientists can participate in joint research projects, contribute to influential publications and present their findings at national and international conferences. By working together, researchers can develop innovative solutions to common challenges in transfusion practice and contribute to the development of new guidelines and procedures that improve patient safety and quality of care.

Access to expert support and resources

Researchers can access expert support and a wealth of resources and can receive ongoing support from a network of renowned medical experts to ensure they are well equipped to conduct high quality research. Ethical standards, assessed by a diverse team within a robust governance framework, ensure that the science is meaningful, appropriate and safe for all participants.
