Revealing and quantifying polyclonal anti‐A, B specificity in ABO histo‐blood groups

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The clinically significant antibody anti‐A,B together with anti‐A and anti‐B has been known for many decades to be present in blood group O plasma. As anti‐A,B is only reactive when an A or B antigen is present, its contribution to titer cannot be easily distinguished from anti‐A and/or anti‐B.

Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome: Two new cases expanding the demographic and geographic spectrum, and evidence of a diagnostic gap in allergic transfusion reaction evaluation

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome (TRAGS) has recently been proposed as a cause of allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) in which alpha‐gal‐specific IgE in sensitized group O (or potentially group A) recipients reacts with epitopes on group B or AB plasma‐containing components.

Patient blood management and surgery: Impact of new surgical techniques on transfusion needs

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Patient blood management (PBM) is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at reducing the use of blood products. It considers the patient's own blood as a valuable resource to preserve and seeks to avoid the routine use of transfusions to treat anaemia.

Understanding donor behaviour following a deferral for low haemoglobin: A cross‐sectional survey study

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives While deferral due to low haemoglobin (Hb) is known to affect donor return, how donors react to and manage low Hb is less well understood. This paper aims to (1) describe donor activities to manage low Hb, and (2) examine donor knowledge, recalled emotions, satisfaction and potential concerns, and to determine their ...

Association of red blood cell transfusions with periventricular leukomalacia in very preterm infants

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been associated with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and adverse long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm infants. Although lower transfusion thresholds reduce the incidence of ROP, they have not improved neurological outcome. Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a
