Article Synopsis
- The TRACT trial focused on the timing and volume of blood transfusions in children with severe anaemia (hemoglobin <6 g/dL) and assessed mortality rates within 28 days as the primary outcome.
- A secondary analysis was conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of different blood components (whole blood vs. red cell concentrates) in children who received immediate transfusions during the trial.
- Results showed that children who received whole blood had a significantly better hemoglobin recovery at 8 hours compared to those who received red cell concentrates, highlighting potential differences in clinical outcomes based on the type of transfusion.
