Core outcomes in studies of plasma transfusion. An update of a systematic review of randomised trials of plasma transfusion to treat and prevent bleeding, with an analysis of core outcomes (BEND)

In this study,we aim to systematically review the current literature to identify and describe outcomes used in previous studies of the effects of plasma transfusion given to prevent or treat bleeding.

1. Which outcomes are reported in randomised trials of plasma transfusion to treat and prevent bleeding?
2. Which methods were used to measure the outcomes in questions?
3. Which effects are reported for measured outcomes?
4. At which timepoints (relative to plasma transfusion) were the outcomes measured?
