Mortality outcomes in patients transfused with fresher versus older red blood cells: a meta‐analysis
Tóm tắt
Among transfused patients, the effect of the duration of red blood cell storage on mortality remains unclear. This study aims to compare the mortality of patients who were transfused with fresher versus older red blood cells.
We performed an updated systematic search in the
We identified 14 randomized trials that enrolled 26 374 participants. All‐cause mortality occurred in 1219 of 9531 (12·8%) patients who received a transfusion of fresher red blood cells and 1810 of 16 843 (10·7%) in those who received older red blood cells (
Transfusion of fresher red blood cells does not reduce overall or in‐hospital mortality when compared with older red blood cells. Our results support the practice of transfusing patients with the oldest red blood cells available in the blood bank.
