Monitoring and feedback using data in transfusion medicine: A study of practices from the BEST Collaborative

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is imperative that health systems monitor transfusion practice quality and implement improvements when evidence‐based practice gaps are identified. Despite the importance of data‐driven quality activities, little is known about approaches employed by hospitals. This study aimed to describe strategies used by hospitals to acquire,

Bacterial screening of platelet donations in England, 2014–2023

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Bacterial contamination of blood components is an ongoing problem in transfusion medicine. We analysed the bacterial screening data of platelets from England, 2014–2023, and compared this with data on reported near‐misses and transfusion‐transmitted infections (TTIs). Materials and Methods Anonymized data on bacterial

Transfusion‐transmitted malaria in India: A national survey of epidemiology and testing practices

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Malaria still poses a public health burden in India despite ongoing elimination efforts. Blood donor screening for malaria is mandated in India, yet data on transfusion‐transmitted malaria (TTM) are lacking. We sought to evaluate testing practices for malaria, associated rates of positivity in donors and reported ...

Impact of a national donor vigilance system: An example of improved donor health by reduction of delayed bleedings after donor plasmapheresis

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives In Denmark, all blood banks use the same standardized donor vigilance system, enabling comparisons of adverse reactions across the country's five regions. At several collection sites, a compression bandage is applied over the venipuncture site after donation.

Hepatitis E virus screening in Irish blood donors: Seven years of individual donation nucleic acid testing reveals a frequent blood donor infection—but what is the risk?

Transfusion Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 279-289, June 2026.
Abstract Background Screening blood donations for HEV RNA mitigates the risk of transfusion‐transmitted HEV infection (TT‐HEV), a recognised blood safety issue in Europe. This study reports the findings of government‐funded HEV RNA blood donation screening 2016–2022 and includes an estimate of residual risk. Method Donation samples were universally and
