Characterisation of RHD and RHCE variations in blood donors from Jazan Province, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Rh is among the most important and highly polymorphic blood group systems due to the proximity of the RHD and RHCE genes, which encode numerous highly immunogenic antigens. However, in areas of Saudi Arabia with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathy, the molecular characteristics of RHD and RHCE variations are lacking.

The effect of perioperative erythropoietin‐stimulating agents and intravenous iron on patient outcomes following solid organ transplantation: A systematic review

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Solid organ transplant is associated with high rates of anaemia and transfusion, but there is little comparative data on interventions such as erythropoietin‐stimulating agents (ESAs) and intravenous (IV) iron. We conducted a systematic review examining the association of ESAs and IV iron with outcomes in adults undergoing solid organ ...

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, EarlyView.
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

What is the best approach to blood transfusion in sickle cell disease? A scientometric analysis and literature review

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood transfusion remains a cornerstone in the management of sickle cell disease (SCD); however, it is frequently complicated by red cell alloimmunisation. A significant debate persists within the scientific community regarding the optimal strategy to mitigate this risk: the traditional, pragmatic approach of serologic phenotyping ...

First‐time red blood cell transfusions in the emergency department: A deficiency in micronutrient testing

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate laboratory investigations for micronutrient deficiencies as the cause of anaemia prior to first‐time red blood cell transfusions in the medical emergency department (ED) of a large academic hospital. Background The ED is often the first point of contact for acutely ill anaemic patients, yet patient blood management ...

Clinical implications of imlifidase interference in antibody screening and transfusion management

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Imlifidase has received conditional approval from the EMA for desensitizing deceased donor kidney transplant recipients. It works by cleaving IgG into F(ab′)2 and Fc fragments, thereby reducing the risk of antibody‐mediated rejection. However, its impact on diagnostic assays remains understudied. Case Report We present the case of a

Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal alloantibodies, often targeting the D antigen on fetal red blood cells. Maternal immunization is preventable with timely administration of anti‐D polyclonal antibodies (pAbs).

Development and production of allogeneic cord blood‐derived red blood cell concentrates for transfusion to extremely preterm neonates, the All‐Cord study

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extremely preterm neonates often require red blood cell (RBC) transfusions derived from adult donors. These transfusions introduce adult hemoglobin into a neonatal hematopoietic system dominated by fetal hemoglobin (HbF), shifting the oxygen‐dissociation curve and increasing oxygen delivery to immature tissues.
