Packed red blood cell transfusions (pRBCT) in preterm infants have been associated with significant morbidity. Although infants <26 weeks' gestational age typically require several pRBCT, preterm infants born between 26 and 34 weeks' gestational age may also require pRBCT during their hospitalization that are potentially preventable. We aimed to reduce pRBCT in this population by 20%.
