Research on unit age
While the subject has come up, has anyone seen any good research on PRBC unit age and effectiveness? I've seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that older units don't last as long in the body, but I haven't seen much in the way of actual research.
Anyone run across any good papers?
Thanks!
Greg
