ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Analysis of the literature suggests that changes relating to blood donations and blood component transfusion are occurring due to the aging of the population. OBJECTIVE: To gain better understanding of the demand and supply of these inputs over time, and to identify the main associated demographic characteristics. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review conducted on time series relating to blood donations and blood component transfusions worldwide. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was conducted based on articles that presented time series relating to blood donation or blood component transfusion. RESULTS: We found 1,814 articles. After the deletion process, only thirteen were read. Overall, these suggested that there is increasing demand for blood components and decreasing donation. The existence of seasonality regarding blood donation was pointed out. Men usually donated more blood and demanded more blood components than women. Approximately 50% of blood transfusions were performed in people aged ≥ 60 years. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis on articles that presented time series relating to blood donations and blood component transfusion showed that aging of the population was the main factor associated with the increasing demand for blood and the decreasing supply of blood.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: There is a need to prepare an adequate blood supply because of the imbalance between the blood supply and demand and the advent of an aging society. This paper presents the basic data for the blood supply and demand through an estimation of the blood donation and blood usage over the next ten years. METHODS: Data analysis was carried out using time-series methods. The data for the monthly blood donation from the Korean Red Cross from 1992 to 2004 was used to estimate the blood donation, and data of the blood supply from the Korean Red Cross and hospitals from 2000 to 2004 for the estimation of the blood supply for transfusion. In order to overcome the limits of the time-series methods, one prospect excluding the data from the year 2004 and the other prospect including the data from the year 2004 were analyzed simultaneously. RESULTS: According to the analysis performed with data from the year 2004 excluded, blood donation rate is expected to decrease to 2.5% in 2015 and the total blood demand (1,435,903 units), which is composed of RBC and single donor platelet, is expected to exceed the total blood donation (1,408,244 donors) by 2015. According to the analysis performed with the data from the year 2004 included, the blood donation rate is expected to decrease to 1.3% in 2015 and the total blood demand (1,760,219 units) is expected to exceed the total blood donation (1,639,042 donors) in 2009. CONCLUSION: A shortage of blood supply is expected to occur during the next ten years. In order to eliminate this blood shortage, a national data management system for blood collection and usage will be needed. In addition, adequate donor resources as well as a monitoring system will be needed to improve the efficiency of blood usage.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The management of blood program is difficult, because there is no comprehensive data collection system in place that gathers data about blood and blood components (blood) usage in Korea. To provide basic data for estimating future blood needs and thereby adjusting the blood program to those needs, data of blood usage in ten Korean university hospitals was analyzed. METHODS: The amount of blood used in Korea from 1995 to 2004 was estimated from the data of the Korean Red Cross Blood Centers (KRCBC) and from blood collection data of hospitals. Ten top ranking hospitals regarding blood usage were selected based on a previous report, and the data for blood usage in these hospitals were evaluated. RESULTS: About 20% of red blood cells (RBC) including whole blood > or =40% of platelets (PLT), > or =30% of plasma products (Plasma), and > or =70% of single donor apheresis platelets (SDP) transfused in Korea were used in ten University hospitals. The pattern of blood utilization in ten hospitals was different from that in total hospitals in Korea. The mean units of blood transfused per 1000 admitted patients in these ten hospitals increased steadily until 2000, but from 2001 the amount of blood transfused reached a plateau until 2004, although variations between hospitals is noticed, it seems to be stabilized. About 35% of RBC, 33% of Plasma and 27% of PLT were transfused for patients aged 60 years or more, and the transfusion rate for RBC was between 5% and 17% showing an increasing tendency proportional to patients age in two hospitals. CONCLUSION: This study provides baseline data for planning a blood program, and for a blood monitoring program a continuous and comprehensive data collection system for blood supply and blood demand needs to be established at a National level.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Blood utilization review in medical facilities is necessary for predicting blood demand and maintaining an efficient blood program. We investigated the use of blood components and discard rate of blood components in eight university hospitals in Korea. METHODS: Blood component utilization including autologous blood collection in eight university hospitals on 1999 was analyzed with the co-work of its department of laboratory medicine. RESULTS: 700,686 blood component units were used at eight university hospitals investigated. Among a total of 601,262 units analyzed, the department of internal medicine used 303,843(50.5%) units and ranked first among clinical department for blood use, followed by general surgery 91,450 units, thoracic surgery 45,038 units. The cumulative number of autologous blood collected until 1999 was 6,232 units. Seven hospitals experienced rejection of reimbursement for health insurance payments and the rejection rate ranged from one to 28%. CONCLUSIONS: This survey provides information on blood component usage in eight Korean university hospitals. A successive nationwide survey on blood utilization like this study is required for estimation of blood demand.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Identification of blood use characteristics in medical facilities is essential for predicting blood demand and maintaining an efficient blood programme. We investigated the use of blood components and discard rate of blood in hospitals. METHOD: Blood component utilization of hospitals in 1998 and 1999 was analyzed by mail survey and co-work with eight university hospitals. RESULTS: A total of 1,510,862 blood component units in 1998 and 1,646,346 units in 1999 meaning an increase of 8.97 % percent were used by 59 hospitals investigated. Use of irradiated blood and single-donor platelets increased. Blood discard rate was less than five percent in most hospitals and many hospitals experienced improper cut in health insurance reimbursement. CONCLUSION: Use of blood components in hospitals is increasing and national guideline for transfusion is needed. A successive investigation on National wide blood utilization like this study is required for estimation of blood demand.
