- Abstract:
-
Red cell transfusion is one of the most common forms of medical intervention in hospitals. Optimal practice continues to be defined through randomised trials, with evidence then pooled in meta-analyses. Prolonged storage of red blood cells is associated with cellular and biochemical changes,1 2 and this has led to numerous studies exploring whether the age of red blood cells might influence clinical outcomes. Establishing clinical consequences of storage effects on red blood cells would be of...
