Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) were the most common in RBC-containing products (incidence, 5.7%; 95% CI, 3.8\u20138.1). Age of RBC unit (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.04 per day; 95% CI, 1.00\u20131.07) and administering a RBC unit with an infusion pump rather than a syringe driver (aOR, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.43\u201315.54) were associated with an increased odds of FNHTR. Of transfusions discontinued (n\u2009=\u200928) because of a potential TR, 46.4% did not fulfill TRACS criteria for any TR. Death occurred within 24\u2009h of a transfusion event in 18.3% but was not associated with the development of a TR (odds ratio [OR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.29\u20131.99).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transfusion reaction incidence in cats, as defined using TRACS guidelines, is reported.
