Abstract

With rapid advances in perinatal and neonatal intensive care medicine including surgical intervention over the last 2 decades, mortality rate of infants born prematurely or with surgical disease has changed dramatically. Extremely low birth weight infants remain the population at the greatest risk of repeated red blood cell transfusions after introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHu-Epo) therapy.
