Transfusion Ratio of Plasma to Packed Red Blood Cells Yields Better Outcomes in Both Trauma and Surgical Patients

In our prior meta-analysis, on the proper transfusion ratio of fresh frozen plasma (FFP): packed red blood cell (RBC) that included 16,607 patients from 36 studies, we found that lower ratio was,associated with less 24-h and 30-day survival (OR=2.41, 95% CI=1.94-3.01 and OR= 1.74, 95%,CI=1.51-2.02 respectively) with a ratio of 1:1.5 gave the best 24-hour and 30-day survival benefit,(OR=0.25, 95% CI=0.09-0.7
