Risk factors of red blood cell infusion in very low/ultra-low birth weight neonates with respiratory distress syndrome / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the risk factors of red blood cell transfusion frequency (fRBCT) toward newborns with very/extremely low birth weight (V/ELBW) who experienced 57 days, >2.75 days and >23.75 days. 【Conclusion】 Increased fRBCT may complicate V/ELBW NRDS newborns who experienced <32 weeks of gestational age with NEC, hematosepsis, BPD and ROP. Duration of hospital stay, invasive ventilation and IVN are relatively effective predictive indicators for whether such cases have undergone ≥3 red blood cell transfusions throughout their hospitalization.
