To guide clinical blood transfusion practices for pediatric patients, the National Health Commission has issued the health standard "Guideline for pediatric transfusion" (WS/T 795-2022). Blood transfusion is one of the most commonly used supportive treatments for children with hematological diseases. This guideline provides guidance and recommendations for blood transfusions in children with aplastic anemia, thalassemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Background: Hypomethylating agents (HMA), such as azacytidine (AZA) and decitabine (DAC), are epigenetic therapies used to treat some patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome. HMAs act in a replication-dependent manner to remove DNA methylation from the genome. However, AML cells targeted by HMA therapy are often quiescent within the bone marrow, where oxygen levels are low.

Background: The relationship between obesity and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has been studied in both pre-clinical and clinical studies with varying results.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the impact of obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), on the incidence, severity, and response to therapy of GVHD in a contemporary cohort.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective study of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome between January 2010 and December 2021 at the Cleveland Clinic.

The effect of pretransfusion hemoglobin on transfusion burden, thrombosis, and mortality in thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome is unclear. We aimed to study the pretransfusion hemoglobin and erythrocyte transfusion burden and investigate the effects of these variables on each other in real-life in thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Adult patients with thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome who received at least one erythrocyte concentrate unit outpatient at Sanliurfa Mehmet Akif Inan Training and Research Hospital during 1 year were included in the study.
