The findings of this cohort study suggest that A-RBC transfusions may be associated with more oxygen delivery to cerebral tissues of preterm neonates than transfusions from CB-RBCs. This finding may explain the previously observed association between low HbF and high ROP risk. It also suggests that use of CB to meet the RBC transfusion needs of neonates with a gestational age of less than 28 weeks may protect cerebral tissues from overexposure to oxygen.
