The correlations between morphology and storage hemolysis. (a–d) The correlation between MIs and storage hemolysis determined for U-RBCs from: (a) teenage male (SM), (b) teenage female (TF), (c) senior male (SM), (d) senior female (SF) over hypothermic storage. (e–h) The correlation between SMEs’ fraction and storage hemolysis determined for U-RBCs from: (e) TM, (f) TF, (g) SM, (h) SF. “MI” and “SMEs” indicate morphology index and storage-induced micro-erythrocytes, respectively. Strong correlations (R2 values > 0.5, day 28) is presented and marked with “*”.
