简要总结
The primary purpose of this observational study was to determine if pRBC transfusions decrease the frequency of intermittent hypoxia events in very low birth weight infants (VLBW) during the first six weeks of life. The impact on non-pRBC transfusions on the frequency of intermittent hypoxia was also assessed.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in number of Intermittent hypoxia
时间窗: Change in number of intermittent hypoxia before (approximately 8 hours) and after transfusion (approximately 8 hours).
An intermittent hypoxemia event is defined as a fall in oxygen saturations to less than 80% for \>/= 10 secs and \<3 minutes with a minimal time interval of 4 seconds between events.
次要结局
- Hypoxia(8 hours prior to transfusion and 8 hours after transfusion.)
