BACKGROUND The risk of developing red blood cell (RBC) transfusion–associated
necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC) in preterm infants has recently been emphasized. Our aim …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between red blood cell
(RBC) transfusions on the risk of death, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), bronchopulmonary …

Neonatal anemia is a common disorder, particularly in (very) preterm neonates.
Management of neonatal anemia is based principally on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion …

The scant evidence on the use of transfusions in neonatal care explains the limitations of
current clinical guidelines. Despite this, in this document we explore the most recent …

Objective To determine the impact of progressive anemia of prematurity on cerebral regional
saturation (C-rSO2) in preterm infants and identify the hemoglobin threshold below which a …

Reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusions in extremely preterm infants is part
of effective care. Delayed cord clamping is well supported by the evidence and is …
