Effects of storage on efficacy of red cell transfusion: When is it not safe?
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review the literature on red blood cell storage and its relationship to the efficacy of transfusion. RESULTS: Well-documented changes occur to the red blood cell product during ex vivo storage. These changes include a reduction in red blood cell deformability, altered red blood cell adhesiveness and aggregability, and a reduction in 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and ATP. Bioactive compounds with proinflammatory effects also accumulate in the storage medium. These changes reduce posttransfusion viability of red blood cells. The clinical effects beyond posttransfusion viability are uncertain, but a growing body of evidence suggests that the storage lesion may reduce tissue oxygen availability, have proinflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, and influence morbidity and mortality. There are no published randomized, control trials examining the effect of storage duration on morbidity and mortality. Leukoreduction improves the quality of stored red blood cell products and in some studies has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality. CONCLUSION: Although storage duration influences the quality of red blood cell product, there is currently insufficient evidence to advocate shorter storage periods for red blood cell products.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
