Evaluate survival outcomes associated with perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma undergoing surgery. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were queried for English-language articles until May 28, 2020. Studies evaluating long-term outcomes of RBCT compared with no transfusion in adults with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma undergoing pancreatectomy were included. E-value sensitivity analysis assessed potential for unmeasured confounders to overcome these findings. Of 4379 citations, five retrospective cohort studies were included. Three studies reported shorter recurrence-free survival by 1–5 months with RBCT. Two studies found shorter disease-specific survival by 5–13 months with RBCT. Overall survival was reduced by 5–7 months with RBCT in three studies. All multivariable findings associated with RBCT could be readily overcome unmeasured confounding on sensitivity analysis. Confounding in baseline characteristics resulted in high risk of bias. Imprecision, unmeasured confounding, small effect sizes, and overall low quality of the available literature result in uncertainty regarding the effect of transfusion on recurrence-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer. Randomized trials are needed to determine if there is a causal relationship between transfusion and survival following pancreatic resection.
