To summarize transfusion-related adverse reactions reported to the TTISS between 2006 and 2012. Hospitals from 10 provinces and two territories participated in the TTISS by collecting and submitting data on all transfusion-related reactions or injuries to the provincial / territorial blood coordinating offices.
