Popis: OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to determine the consequences of different amounts of leukocyte transfusion on the outcome of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN This was a prospective, single-blinded cohort study conducted for 1 year from July 2018 to June 2019. SETTING The study setting was the Department of Transfusion Medicine, along with Cardiac Anaesthesia, Cardiac Surgery and Cardiac biochemistry departments in a tertiary care cardiac centre. PARTICIPANTS A total of 150 patients undergoing cardiac surgery during the study period were divided into three groups (50 in each): Leukofiltered (LR), Buffy coat depleted (BCD) and Non-leukoreduced (NLR). INTERVENTION The intervention was intra- and postoperative transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) having different amounts of leukocytes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patient details about length of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, blood usage, inotropic drug duration, mechanical ventilation, urine output and infection were recorded from the patient data sheet, whereas patients were followed up for 30 days post-operation, and any mortality was noted. Haematological parameters and biochemical parameters for renal function test were analysed on pre- and post-surgical days 1, 3, 5 and 7, whereas on postoperative days 1 and 7, cytokine-like FAS ligands, Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and Interferon-γ (INF-γ) were tested. Patients in all three groups received an average of four, two and two units of packed red blood cells, platelets and fresh frozen plasma, respectively. There was a statistically significant (P
