Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in the ward (OR: 10.662, 95% CI: 0.877-129.597, p=0.063) and in the operating theatre (OT) (OR: 2.175, 95% CI: 0.942-5.021, p=0.069) were associated with trends toward increased mortality, these associations did not reach statistical significance. Secondly, among variables analyzed for association with infection, RBC transfusion in the ICU (OR: 1.426, 95% CI: 1.044-1.948, p=0.025) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion in the ICU (OR: 1.448, 95% CI: 1.052-1.993, p=0.023) were significantly associated with an increased risk of infection.
