Bibliography Guide to Leukocyte Reduction of Blood Components by Filtration: A Compendium
  Bibliography Guide to Leukocyte Reduction of Blood Components by Filtration: A Compendium

The role and significance of leukocyte reduction by filtration of blood components was pioneered by the researchers and clinicians noted in this bibliography guide. Much has occurred in the few short years since the introduction of leukocyte reduction filters, thereby enhancing the purity and safety of the blood supply. This is evident by the growing list of countries which have chosen to leukocyte reduce 100% of their blood supplies. This bibliography compendium lists as many the authoritative papers that demonstrate the multi-factorial benefits of leukocyte reduction and related clinical significances. It is, however, by no means all-inclusive of what has been written on this subject. In fact, it represents only a microcosm of publications regarding the role of leukocyte reduction by filtration to reduce adverse transfusion reactions and ameliorate patient outcomes. Pall will continue to encourage, monitor and support scientific research, as well as subsequent publications, to increase the understanding of leukocyte reduction by filtration.
