Factors influencing plasma transfusion practices in paediatric intensive care units around the world.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:In Canada, transfusion transmission risk of Human T-cell lymphotropic virus -I/II (HTLV) is addressed by universal leucoreduction and universal antibody testing. We aimed to estimate the risk with the current policy, if testing only first-time donors and if testing were stopped. MATERIALS AND...
