Association between recipient survival and blood donor age after blood transfusion in a surgery intensive care unit: a multicenter randomized controlled trial study protocol
Abstract:Background
Blood from younger individuals has been shown to improve physiological function in recipients in laboratory research, and many proteins from human peripheral blood show antisenescence capabilities. Thus, researchers have questioned whether blood from young donors is superior to blood from older donors. Blood transfusion is a key supportive therapy for trauma patients, and recent studies have reported the influence of blood donor age on recipient patient prognosis. Although some retrospe… Show more
