Red blood cell storage is associated with length of stay and renal complications after cardiac surgery

BACKGROUND: The association of red blood cell (RBC) storage on morbidity outcome after cardiac surgery is debated. We sought to clarify the association of the age of transfused blood on outcome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
