Leucocyte-depleted blood transfusion is an independent predictor of surgical morbidity in patients undergoing elective colon cancer surgery: a single-center analysis of 531 patients

Leukocyte-depleted packed red blood cells (PRBC) were introduced to reduce potential immunomodulatory effects and transfusion-associated morbidity. It has, however, remained unclear, if leucocyte depletion prevents negative side effects of blood transfusion. The aim of this analysis was to examine t...

Description
Summary:Leukocyte-depleted packed red blood cells (PRBC) were introduced to reduce potential immunomodulatory effects and transfusion-associated morbidity. It has, however, remained unclear, if leucocyte depletion prevents negative side effects of blood transfusion. The aim of this analysis was to examine the effects of leukocyte-depleted PRBC on surgical morbidity after elective colon cancer surgery.
