Impact of ABO blood group on NEC incidence and mortality in VLBW infants
ABO blood groups have no influence on the incidence of confirmed NEC or mortality in VLBW infants. Variations in study populations, definitions of primary outcomes, and statistical methods may explain discrepancies between our findings and previous reports. Transfusion strategies may also confound the relationship between ABO blood group and NEC.
