Transfusion of blood products and neonatal outcomes in preterm infants: A retrospective cohort study
These findings suggest transfusions may not be independently associated with mortality, but may instead reflect underlying illness severity. However, they remain associated with serious morbidities in extremely preterm infants. The results emphasize the importance of judicious transfusion practices, evidence-based thresholds, and research to clarify potential causal relationships.
