Estimated frequency:
Overall TRALI rates 22.46 per 100,000 stays increasing form 14.40 in 2007 to 34.84 in 2011 attributed to increased awareness of TRALI. The rates for RBC's, plasma, and platelets are 16.51, 31.37, and 47.28, respectively with rates for these components decreasing 2011 vs. 2010. In-patient mortality for patients with TRALI= 21.0% vs. 7.2% for patients without TRALI. OR for TRALI in 65-79 year olds =1.19 compared to those > 79 years. Females at greater risk than males (OR= 1.26). Six-month history of pulmonary fibrosis and tobacco use higher in TRALI patients (OR= 1.89 and 1.16, respectively). Also higher in patients with malignancies. Odds of TRALI increase with the number of units transfused.
