A report of a trial stated that there was "growing evidence that chronic hepatitis was a not-uncommon consequence of transfusion", related to the total number of donors to whose blood a patient had been exposed.

There was a trial to see which of three dosage regimes addressed bleeds into knee, elbow and ankle joints most effectively. This involved pupils being given doses of 7, 14, or 28 units (per kilogram of their bodyweight), and was written up in The Lancet.

A letter about a Treloar's pupil written to his home clinician showed that there had been no advance discussion about the research on him. Read more about A letter about a Treloar's pupil written to his home clinician showed that there had been no advance discussion about the research on him.
Dr Kirk wrote to parents of a student at Treloar's to inform them their son had been "selected to receive only Kryobulin when he requires transfusing. By limiting him to this type of factor VIII containing material it will be easier to trace the source should he contract hepatitis."

Hemofil was given to one child as part of the study; he did not bleed frequently and so needed only limited treatment, but went on to develop acute hepatitis.

It was acknowledged that recent research had shown that viruses other than Hepatitis A and B may have caused significant amount of post-transfusion hepatitis.

From 1970 to 1973, Dr Rainsford studied the incidence of serum hepatitis. The aim was to see if there was any pattern to the way in which antibodies and antigens to serum hepatitis correlated with clinical illness, the frequency of transfusion and the presence of antigens in the blood products with which they were being treated.
