Effect of red blood cell transfusion strategies on ICU-acquired infection in patients with sepsis: A target trial emulation using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database

2026-08-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose: </h4> To estimate the per-protocol effect of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion strategies on ICU-acquired infection in critically ill adults with sepsis using a target trial emulation framework. We evaluated whether restrictive strategy and liberal strategy, defined by hemoglobin (Hgb) thresholds, differ in their effect on ICU-acquired infection during ICU stay. Methods We conducted a target trial emul...
