Objectives: To determine the association of whole blood and other blood products (components, prothrombin complex concentrate, and fibrinogen concentrate) with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) among blood recipients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database between 2020 and 2021.

Field data from the Yeongsan River wetland, including 3D topography surveys, grainsize analyses, and loss-on-ignition measurements, were used to assess carbon stocks and their environmental drivers. The Yeongsan River was selected as a representative site due to its geomorphological, hydrological, and climatic similarities with the other three major rivers, which influence sediment transport and carbon dynamics.
