Potential benefits of an alternative haemoglobin deferral strategy evaluated in seven countries. [PDF]

Vox Sang
Abstract Background and Objectives On‐site donor deferral for low haemoglobin (Hb) levels poses significant challenges for blood establishments globally, leading to material wastage and consumption of valuable staff and donor time. Traditionally, donors are deferred based on a single visit's Hb measurement, without considering previous Hb levels and ...

A procedure using low-cost reagents to prepare allogeneic platelet gel from standard platelet units. [PDF]

Vox Sang
Abstract Background and Objectives Highly effective procedures for the preparation of allogeneic platelet gel (PG) use Ca‐gluconate and batroxobin, an expensive commercial reagent. In this preliminary study, we explored the use of the plasmin‐inhibitor, low‐cost drug tranexamic acid (TXA) in place of batroxobin, based on the literature supporting TXA ...

Insulin resistance, overweight, and obesity in apheresis donors: A call to reevaluate their eligibility-A prospective cohort study. [PDF]

Transfusion
Abstract Background Apheresis procedures and the infusion of acid‐citrate‐dextrose induce metabolic alterations that may influence glucose metabolism. Although insulin resistance (IR), overweight, and obesity are not exclusion criteria for blood donation, their impact during apheresis procedure and on post‐donation metabolic responses remains ...

A social capital approach of market orientation in public non‐profit organizations: The case of blood transfusion centers in Spain

Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing, Volume 28, Issue 3, August 2023., 2023
Abstract In order to identify the determinants of market (donor) orientation in blood transfusion centers and services (BTCS), this study seeks to analyze whether connectedness and interpersonal trust represent a fundamental basis for interfunctional coordination that leads to market (donor) orientation.

Microbiological environmental contamination in the blood supply chain: An international survey by the bacterial subgroup of the ISBT Transfusion‐Transmitted Infectious Diseases Working Party

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 118, Issue 8, Page 656-665, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Background and Objectives Blood transfusion centres ensure the quality and safety of transfusable blood components. However, septic transfusion reactions involving environmental contaminants occur. An international survey issued by the ISBT Transfusion‐Transmitted Infectious Diseases Working Party (ISBT‐TTID‐WP) Bacterial Subgroup aimed to ...

Identification of the haemoglobin level associated with a lower risk of complications after total hip and knee arthroplasty

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 629-639, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Preoperative anaemia is associated with poor outcomes in surgical patients, but the preoperative haemoglobin cut‐off that determines lower morbidity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well established.

Mitigating the risk of transfusion‐transmitted infections with vector‐borne agents solely by means of pathogen reduction

Transfusion, Volume 62, Issue 7, Page 1388-1398, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Background This study evaluated whether pathogen reduction technology (PRT) in plasma and platelets using amotosalen/ultraviolet A light (A/UVA) or in red blood cells using amustaline/glutathione (S‐303/GSH) may be used as the sole mitigation strategy preventing transfusion‐transmitted West Nile (WNV), dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), and ...

Introduction of 7-day amotosalen/ultraviolet A light pathogen-reduced platelets in Honduras: Impact on platelet availability in a lower middle-income country. [PDF]

Vox Sang
Abstract Background and Objectives Honduras became the first lower middle‐income country (LMIC) to adopt amotosalen/UVA pathogen‐reduced (PR) platelet concentrates (PCs) as a national platelet safety measure in 2018. The Honduran Red Cross (HRC) produces ~70% of the national platelet supply using the platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) method.
