Real‐world efficacy of transfusion with liberal or restrictive strategy in traumatic brain injury by Liang‐Wen Cui, Nian Liu, Chao Yu, Ming Fang, Rui Huang, Cheng Zhang, Min Shao

“…Compared with the restrictive group, the liberal strategy reduced early death (3 days: 5%, 95% CI: 2%–7%; 7 days: 6%, 95% CI: 3%–11%); however, no significant difference of mortality risk at 28‐day or neurological progression risk at any time points was observed. The risk of coagulopathy at 3 days was increased by 7% (95% CI: 1%–19%) in the liberal group. …”
