Observational study evaluates haematological and biochemical changes in whole blood and PRBCs, highlighting significant deterioration over 35 days.

Significant biochemical changes occurred in blood products with increased storage time, affecting quality and safety.
Haemoglobin levels in PRBCs decreased sharply from 17.25 to 14.56 g/dL over 35 days, indicating storage-related deterioration.
Observational analysis included 100 blood units, assessing key haematological and biochemical parameters at multiple time points.
Monitoring storage-related changes is essential for ensuring transfusion efficacy and patient safety, especially after 14 days.

Vaish et al. (2025) studied this question.
