Pre-transfusion and post-transfusion blood samples from eight individuals were typed at 10 PCR amplified loci. In no case did the PCR DNA profile of the post-transfusion blood sample differ from that of the pre-transfusion profile.

IMPORTANCE Studies have shown variation in the use of red blood cell transfusion among patients with acute coronary syndromes. There are no definitive data for the efficacy of transfusion in improving outcomes, and concerning data exist about possible association with harm. Current transfusion practices in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well understood. O...

abstract background iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. magnetic re...

Abstract
 Introduction: In this study, we aimed to discuss the transfusion-associated costs in view of transfusion practice pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) by considering previously well-defined indications blood transfusions and evidence-based evaluation for decision-making patients.
 Materials Methods: During a year period (January 2017-December 2017) 76 patients, receiving wit...

BACKGROUND When comparing transfused versus nontransfused patients, erythrocyte transfusion is consistently associated with increased mortality. Nonetheless, unmeasured confounding may unduly influence this comparison. This unmeasured risk may have less influence on comparisons of patients undergoing surgery at hospitals with differing transfusion rates. METHODS Administrative databases were ...
