Abstract
- The article presents a study on the quality of life (QOL) and long-term survivability of patients who developed post-transfusion edema either through transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), or transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO). It states that QOL and survival was compared between patients who experienced TACO or TRALI and those who did not. It reveals that TRALI rather than TACO is associated with less long-term survivability of patients.
