The use of blood transfusion in European preterm infants

Detailed description

In this international, multicenter, prospective, observational point prevalence study, the researchers will include neonates with gestational age at birth <32 weeks admitted to a participating tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Data will be collected over a 1-year period, in which each NICU will collect data for 6 weeks. Data will be collected from the hospital’s written or electronic patient record files, recorded imaging reports, hospital blood bank records, and nurses’ records.
