note = "Background Blood transfusion-particularly that of older stored red blood cells (RBCs)--is an independent risk factor for postinjury multiple organ failure. Immunomodulatory effects of RBC transfusion include neutrophil (PMN) priming for cytotoxicity, an effect exacerbated by longer RBC storage times. We have found that delayed PMN apoptosis in trauma patients is provoked by transfusion, independent of injury severity.",
