Why are haemolytic reactions excluded from definition of ATR?

SHOT in UK only defines Febrile, Allergic and Hypotensive

Then again, most professional societies and hematology/transfusion medicine textbooks/reviews completely ignore the most common serious post-transfusion toxicities. This is perhaps because there is an expert opinion (dogma) driven belief that thrombosis, infection and inflammation, sepsis and organ failure occurring more than 4-6 hours after transfusion could not possibly be due to transfusion.  Wrong, but a deeply held belief based upon decades old methodologically fatally flawed meta-analyses of randomized trials which told people what they hoped was true :).
