Feeding, Probiotics and Intestinal Oxygenation

Here is our e-poster titled, "Enteral Feeding, Probiotic Supplementation, and Intestinal Oxygenation Responses to Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Preterm Infants"

If you want more details about the background and rationale for this study, check out this presentation to the NIRS Consortium: https://youtu.be/r50zHDh8HvA

Donor Sex, Age and Outcomes in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Here is our e-poster titled, "Association of Blood Donor Sex and Age with Outcomes in Transfused Very Low Birth Weight Infants."

I fondly recall a conversation with Jack Widness about the need for donor-recipient linked cohort studies in neonatal transfusion. This is something we highlighted as part of a proposed research agenda for neonatal transfusion medicine several years ago (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5026588/).

This study on the impact of the donors of blood that is transfused into preterm infants tries to address some of these knowledge gaps:

If you have more questions, about any of these studies, please feel free to contact me.
