In-hospital transfusion requirements for (A) PRBC and (B) plasma.

O’Reilly et al. (40) and Smith et al. (46) reported total transfusion data from primary receiving hospital. Brown et al. (35, 36) and Kim et al. (37) reported transfusion data within 24 h of admission. Data shown as median (IQR) except for Kim et al. (37) (median only). Δ: median transfusion for PHBP recipients, X: median transfusion for non-recipients. Price et al. (49) also reported statistically significantly greater in-hospital transfusion volumes for PHBP recipients (mean 1414 mL (SD: 1660 mL)) vs. non-recipients (1007 mL (SD: 935 mL)).
