DOI: 10.1111/aas.13750
Abstract: Thrombocytopenia is a common condition in hospitalised critically ill children and most platelet transfusions are given as prophylaxis to non‐bleeding children prior to invasive procedures such as central venous catheterisation and lumbar puncture. Platelet transfusion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bjh.20051
Abstract: Optimal red blood cell transfusion thresholds for children with bone marrow failure are uncertain; a previous study was stopped following concerns about veno‐occlusive disease. The aims of this study in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tme.12587
Abstract: Does transfusing platelets to preterm infants (< 34 weeks) at a higher platelet count threshold count (< 50 x 109/L) reduce the risk of major bleeding or death compared to only transfusing platelets when the platelet… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13054-020-2728-7
Abstract: Purpose Hemoglobin (Hb) transfusion thresholds are established in intensive care units. A restrictive transfusion threshold (Hb 70–75 g/l) is recommended in septic patients, and a liberal transfusion threshold (Hb 90 g/l) for cardiogenic shock. It is unclear… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12092041
Abstract: In hip fracture patients, who are mostly elderly, preexisting anemia can be worsened when combined with trauma and surgery. To this date, there is no unequivocal approach about transfusion thresholds. We analyzed hemoglobin (Hb) and… read more here.
