Should plasma from female donors be avoided? A population‐based cohort study of plasma recipients in Sweden from 1990 through 2002

BACKGROUND: Plasma from female donors has been implicated in the sometimes fatal complication known as transfusion‐related acute lung injury. In studies of patients in intensive care units, worsened gas exchange of the lungs has also been attributed to female plasma. Despite a lack of population‐based evidence, policies have already been introduced to exclude female donor plasma.
