Transfusion Evidence Library (TEL)

The Transfusion Evidence Library is fully searchable, updated monthly and aims to be a key resource for medical practitioners, policy makers and researchers in the field of transfusion medicine, both in the UK and around the world.

The Transfusion Evidence Library is a database of systematic reviews (since 1980) and randomised controlled trials (since 1950) relevant to transfusion medicine.

The Cochrane Collaboration has endorsed the Transfusion Evidence Library database, recognizing it as a unique, evidence-based resource for the transfusion medicine community.
