GSTM1 and Ascites: Specifically, there were 7 patients (8.54%) in the RBC transfusion group and 3 patients (1.83%) in the Hb ≥ 90 g/L group, a pattern consistent with prior reports.[18] It is important to note that the RBC transfusion group had a higher proportion of patients with Child-Pugh class B, ascites, lower Hb levels, and a greater utilization of plasma and albumin transfusions, indicating that the general condition of these patients was more severe compared to those in the Hb ≥ 90 g/L group.
