Forest plots for nosocomial infection analysis as a function of PRBC mean age. Nosocomial infection odds ratios were calculated for each study using logistic regression with mean PRBC age transfused as the independent variable. Age, sex and PRBC volume were entered into the model as covariates. Odds ratios were then combined using random effects models. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
