Long-term outcome of brain structure in female preterm infants: possible associations of liberal versus restrictive red blood cell transfusions

Preterm infants who receive differential red blood cell (RBC) transfusions at birth may show brain structure differences across development, including abnormalities in white matter (WM) structure and organization. This study investigated long-term outcomes of brain structure in female infants born preterm, at an average age of 13 years old, who received red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in the neonatal period according to a liberal or...
