Objectives To explore the level of neonatal care on cumulative phlebotomy loss (cPL) and
red cell transfusions in extremely low birthweight [ELBW; birthweight (BW)< 1,000 g] infants …

Objective Characterize frequency and volume of blood draws and transfusions in extremely
low birth weight infants in the first 10 weeks of life. Study design We included infants with a …

An adequate blood volume is important for neonatal adaptation. The study objective was to
quantify the cumulative iatrogenic blood loss in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants by …

Introduction. Anemia is a complication in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, and lab tests
are a predominant risk factor. At least one red blood cell transfusion is given in more than …

Introduction: Very low birth weight preterm infants are associated with a greater risk of
morbidity and mortality and are more susceptible to therapy with red blood cells …

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants,
while common, carry risk. Our objective was to determine clinical predictors of and trends in …

Objective. Because blood loss attributable to laboratory testing is the primary cause of
anemia among preterm infants during the first weeks of life, we quantified blood lost …

Aim Studies indicate that reduced foetal haemoglobin levels are related to increased
neonatal morbidity rates. This study investigated the relationships between sampling …

Very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants universally experience anemia of prematurity
(AOP) while growing up. The effects of reduced blood sample volume on AOP, packed red …

BACKGROUND: Preterm infants typically experience heavy phlebotomy losses from
frequent laboratory testing in the first few weeks of life. This results in anemia, requiring red …
