NCT ID NCT01702805
First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at whether giving more red blood cell transfusions (liberal strategy) to extremely low birth weight infants (under 2.2 pounds) helps them survive and develop better than a more restrictive approach. Over 1,800 babies from NICUs across the U.S. took part. The main goal was to see if the liberal strategy reduced death or brain development problems by age 2.
