Behavioral and infectious disease risks in young blood donors: implications for recruitment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Very preterm newborns receive up to three to five red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, often early, after birth. Despite awareness of the association of transfusion with increases in cytokines and markers of endothelial activation, research has focused on single transfusions weeks after birth. With pathophysio...
