Background Data on massive transfusion (MT) in geriatric trauma patients is lacking. This
study aims to determine geriatric transfusion futility thresholds (TT) and TT variations based …

Introduction The arbitrary geriatric age cutoff of 65 may not accurately define older adults at
higher risk of mortality following massive transfusion (MT). We sought to redefine a new …

Background Age and massive transfusion are predictors of mortality after trauma. We
hypothesized that increasing age and high-volume transfusion would result in progressively …

Introduction Older age and blood transfusion have both been independently associated with
higher mortality post trauma and the combination is expected to be associated with …

Background: Blood transfusion and old age have been independently associated with worse
outcomes and higher mortality in the trauma population. Determining specific volumes and …

Background Massive blood transfusion (MBT) following older adult trauma poses unique
challenges. Despite extensive evidence on optimal resuscitative strategies in the younger …

To determine whether a restrictive strategy of red cell transfusion was safe in elderly trauma
patients, we compared those treated with a restrictive transfusion strategy versus those who …

Background Many scoring systems for the early prediction of the need for massive
transfusion (MT) have been reported; in most of these, vital signs are regarded as important …

Background: Prior studies have demonstrated that transfusion of older stored blood is
associated with an increased risk of multiple organ failure, infection, and death. These …

BACKGROUND Studies comparing mortality following massive transfusion (MT) with fresher
versus longer-stored red blood cells (RBCs) have focused on trauma patients. The …
