Cardiac Surgery Outcomes in Blood-transfusion Acceptors and no Acceptors

Cardiac Surgery Outcomes in Blood-transfusion Acceptors and no Acceptors: a Retrospective Cohort Study

The primary objective of this study is to analyze mortality after cardiac surgery in blood-transfusion non-acceptors (BTNA), and the secondary one to perform an adjusted comparison with a blood-transfusion acceptors (BTA) matched cohort.
