To analyze the current status of red blood cell transfusion in very preterm infants (VPI) (gestational age at birth <32 weeks) from Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN) in 2022. This cross-sectional study was based on the CHNN VPI cohort. It included 6 985 VPI admitted to CHNN 89 participating centers within 24 hours after birth in 2022.

Article Synopsis
- Platelet transfusions are given to preterm infants to prevent bleeding, but recent studies showed higher risks of mortality and major bleeding with transfusions at a higher platelet count threshold of 50 × 10/L compared to 25 × 10/L.
- A prospective observational study across 64 neonatal intensive care units in 22 European countries was conducted to assess current platelet transfusion practices, which included tracking transfusion rates, indications, and patient outcomes.
- The findings indicated that the lower transfusion threshold of 25 × 10/L is being adopted in practice, though there's considerable variation in transfusion volumes and rates, highlighting the need for further research to optimize these practices.

Transfusion Medicine Unit, Giuliano Isontina University Hospital, Trieste, Italy.
Background: Adherence to optimal practices in the preparation and issuance of pediatric blood components can significantly influence patient care outcomes. This study aims to examine the blood banking procedures across prominent Italian children's hospitals, with the goal of identifying both consistent and potentially divergent standards within this field.
Materials And Methods: A survey was conducted among the blood banks affiliated with the Italian Association of Pediatric Hospitals.

Introduction: Ensuring optimal blood transfusion practices relies on a robust expertise base that is indispensable across various professional fields. Recognizing this imperative, the current study aims to assess the knowledge levels of healthcare personnel and enhance transfusion quality through targeted continuing training initiatives.
Methods: The preliminary survey was based on an anonymous questionnaire and we used correct response rate (CRR) as the main parameter evaluating the baseline level of knowledge.
Red Blood Cell Transfusion in European Neonatal Intensive Care Units, 2022 to 2023.

Division of Neonatology, Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands.
Importance: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequently administered to preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Two randomized clinical trials (Effects of Transfusion Thresholds on Neurocognitive Outcomes of Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants [ETTNO] and Transfusion of Prematures [TOP]) found that liberal RBC transfusion thresholds are nonsuperior to restrictive thresholds, but the extent to which these results have been integrated into clinical practice since publication in 2020 is unknown.
Objective: To describe neonatal RBC transfusion practice in Europe.
