Figure 1

Distribution of RBC length of storage. The horizontal axis represents the red blood cell (RBC) length of storage (in days). The vertical axis represents the number of patients who received transfusions for each known length of storage. The black part of each bar of the histogram represents the number of patients who developed new or progressive multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS). For patients receiving multiple transfusions, the longest length of storage was used. The median length of storage is 14 days, and the mean length of storage is 17.2 days.
