Popis:	Background Neurosurgical procedures pose a heightened risk of bleeding, often necessitating blood or blood product transfusions. However, allogenic blood transfusion has various adverse consequences, including the transmission of blood-borne infection and immune consequences. While multiple studies have indicated an increased incidence of postoperative infections among patients receiving allogenic blood transfusions, these investigations have primarily focused on non-neurosurgical populations. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to explore the relationship between blood transfusions and the occurrence of postoperative infections in patients undergoing intracranial surgery for tumors and cerebral aneurysms.
