Passive transfusion reaction reporting systems fail to capture a significant number of reactions, and no data exist on provider reporting trends. The aim of this study was to describe transfusion reaction reporting patterns by adult and paediatric providers.
Materials and Methods
This is a multihospital study on transfusion reaction reporting over a 7‐year period. Reports...
Background and Objectives
The role of pre‐donation blood pressure (BP) as independent contributor to post‐donation vasovagal reactions (VVRs) is still debated. Differences between a liberal (i.e., inclusion of hypotensive donors) and a restrictive policy (i.e., not accepting hypotensive donors) should be investigated. This study aims to investigate the consequences of a liberal policy in development...
Background and Objectives
In Germany, in addition to standard blood donor screening, further mandatory tests were introduced for HCV‐RNA, HIV‐1‐RNA and for anti‐HBc. Screening for HBV‐DNA is optional.
