ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the changes of platelet count (PLT), plateletcrit (PCT), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) before and after apheresis platelet transfusion, the correlation between the parameters and their clinical significance.@*METHODS@#A total of 38 patients who received apheresis platelet transfusion were selected, their results of blood routine test closest to the time point of apheresis platelet transfusion were consulted from hospital information system and the changes of PLT, PCT, MPV and PDW were compared before and after transfusion. The correlation between above parameters was analyzed. The correlation of body mass index (BMI) with the increased multiple and increased value after platelet infusion was also analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Compared with pre-infusion, PLT and PCT significantly increased (both P <0.001) while MPV and PDW showed no significant difference after apheresis platelet transfusion (P >0.05). The difference of PLT and PCT before and after apheresis platelet transfusion had no correlation with PLT and PCT before transfusion (r =0.002, r =0.001), while the difference of MPV and PDW was negatively correlated with MPV and PDW before transfusion (r =-0.462, r =-0.610). The PLT growth rate was positively correlated with PCT growth rate before and after apheresis platelet transfusion (r =0.819). BMI was positively correlated with the increased multiple of PLT after infusion (r =0.721), but not with the increased value of PLT after infusion (r =0.374).@*CONCLUSION@#Apheresis platelet transfusion can cause platelet parameters change and shows different characteristics. Characteristic changes of platelet parameters and their correlation can be used as reference indices to evaluate the efficacy of apheresis platelet transfusion.

【Objective】 To analyze the demographic characteristics of apheresis platelet donors who participated in the Partnership Plan Competition(PPC) of Beijing Red Cross Blood Center, and to analyze the effect of publicity and recruitment of apheresis platelet donors, so as to provide reference for formulating recruitment strategy of apheresis platelet donation. 【Methods】 Apheresis blood donors who participated in PPC from March 18, 2021 to May 18, 2021 were selected as research subjects, and their demographic data in terms of gender, age, occupation and education, and relevant blood donation data within 12 months such as the number of blood donations, whether they were regular blood donors were collected. The demographic characteristics of PPC donors and promising groups were analyzed. 【Results】 There were 58 recruiters participating in the PPC, and a total of 170 people were recruited; 53.53%(91/170) successfully participated in the donation of apheresis platelets, and 35.16%(32/91) became regular blood donors. Those 18-30 years old college male students were promising group in the PPC, and were more willing to participate in the recruitment and donation of apheresis platelets. 【Conclusion】 The PPC has significant effect on the promotion and recruitment of apheresis platelets donation. Measures such as setting the types of souvenirs according to the preferences of promising groups, strengthening publicity of PPC, encouraging non-blood donors to participate and expanding targeted recruitment can be taken in the future to increase the success rate of blood donation of the recruitment.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the effectiveness of current indicators in initial screening and retest before donation and access the optimal testing strategies. 【Methods】 Data of initial screening (rate method for ALT, colloidal gold method for HBsAg) and retest (rate method for ALT, ELISA for HBsAg) of 18 510 platelet donors in our center from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected, and the results were retrospectively analyzed and compared in terms of different years and number of donations. 【Results】 From 2019 to 2021, data of initial screening and retest of platelet donors were as follows: 1) the deferral rate of ALT and HBsAg was 12.98% (2 403/18 510) vs 0.26%(40/15 412); 2) the deferral rate of ALT was 13.19% (712/5 398) vs 0.20%(9/4 410)in 2019, 13.33% (873/6 549) vs 0.06%(3/5 387)in 2020 and 11.05% (725/6 563) vs 0.07%(4/5 615)in 2021; for initial screening, significant difference was noticed in ALT reactivity in 2021 as in comparison to other two years(P<0.05); 3) the reactive rate of HBsAg was 0.43% (23/5 398) vs 0.18%(8/4 410)in 2019, 0.66% (43/6 549) vs 0.20%(11/5 387)in 2020 and 0.41% (27/6 563) vs 0.09%(5/5, 615) in 2021. For initial screening, HBsAg deferral in 2021 was significantly different from 2019, while similar with 2020. 4) Among ALT deferral samples in the retest, 68.75% (11/16) were ALT≥45 U/L. Among HBsAg reactive samples, 91.67% (22/24) were reactive by single reagent. 【Conclusion】 Setting the threshold value of ALT for platelet donors in initial screening as less than 45 U/L can effectively reduce the reactive rate in the retest. HBsAg screening only for first-time platelet donors can reduce the detection cost. Adding pre-donation detection indicators according to local prevalence of transfusion transmitted diseases is conductive to reduce the discarding rate of platelets.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To observe the effect of platelet transfusion in inpatients with haematological diseases, analyze the possible causes of platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR), in order to further improve the efficacy of platelet transfusion. 【Methods】 A total of 310 patients with blood disease in our hospital from August 2020 to November 2021 who received platelet transfusion were retrospectively analyzed. Possible influencing factors of platelet transfusion, including gender, age, platelet preservation time, number of platelet transfusions, complication and red blood cell product transfusion were analyzed. 【Results】 Patients were divided into effective group and refractory group according to percentage platelet recovery (PPR) and corrected count increment (CCI). PTR was defined as PPR <20% or CCI <5 000 after two consecutive transfusions in 24 h or clinical bleeding symptoms or tendency not significantly controlled. Statistical differences were noticed between the two groups in terms of gender, pretransfusion white blood cell count, anemia, and whether antibiotics were used (P<0.05). The type of disease, gender, anemia and number of comorbidities were associated with PTR. The incidence of PTR was the highest in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, and the incidence of PTR was higher in men than in women. Transfusion units of suspended red blood cells and the number of comorbidities were negatively correlated with the transfusion efficacy (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Possible influencing factors of platelet transfusion included the level of white blood cells before transfusion, use of antibiotics, anemia and transfusion of red blood cells, number of comorbidities, and type of disease, while no significant differences were found in age, hemolysis, hypersplenism, platelet preservation time, and number of platelet transfusions on transfusion efficacy.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate whether the blood donors' coagulation status may lead to apheresis platelet aggregation in vitro. 【Methods】 Thirty blood donors with aggregation in apheresis platelets collected by AMICUS blood cell separator no less than 3 times previously and occurred when the last time of apheresis donation were observed in aggregated group (referred to as the experimental group); Thirty donors without aggregation in apheresis platelets collected by AMICUS blood cell separator no less than 3 times were observed in the control group simultaneously. The basic platelet parameters in the two groups, including Plt, MPV, PDW, Pet, P-LCR were detected by automatic blood cell analyzer (BC-3000Plus), and thromboelastogram indexes including reaction time(R), kinetics time(K), kinetics of clot development(α), maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation index(CI) were tested by Thrombosis elastography (TEG) before collection. With SPSS24.0 software, t test was used to compare the differences between the two groups. 【Results】 The CI value in experimental group was significantly different from that of the control group (0.48± 1.00 vs -0.99 ±1.96, P0.05 ) . 【Conclusion】 The coagulation status of blood donors may be an independent risk factor for the in vitro aggregation of apheresis platelets.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the willingness of whole blood donors to donate apheresis platelets and analyze its influencing factors. 【Methods】 A total of 400 whole blood donors from Kunshan Blood Station and Leshan Blood Station from January to May, 2023 were surveyed by random sampling, and their willingness to donate apheresis platelets were analyzed by univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 A total of 386 valid questionnaires were collected, with a recovery rate of 96.5%. Among the 386 whole blood donors, 177 were willing to donate apheresis platelets, accounting for 45.9%. Univariate analysis showed that gender, age, education level, blood donation times, average blood donation volume, adverse reactions to blood donation, understanding of platelets, and family members' attitude towards blood donation were the main factors affecting the willingness of whole blood donors to donate platelets, and binary logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, blood donation times, average blood donation volume, understanding of platelets and family members' attitude towards blood donation were the main factors. 【Conclusion】 Targeted recruitment of whole blood donors should be conducted to recruit more apheresis platelet donors, so as to meet clinical demand of apheresis platelets.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions to blood donation during platelet collection in female blood donors with low body weight and high platelet count, so as to improve the comfortableness during platelet collection and increase the proportion of repeated blood donors. 【Methods】 The control group and observation group were compared to explore the causes that may cause adverse reactions in the blood collection cycle using blood collection process program software in MCS+, and the incidence of blood donation reaction was compared and observed by increasing the times of oral administrations of calcium gluconate by 10%, increasing the number of collection cycles and reducing the peak plasma volume of the last cycle. 【Results】 After comparing the two groups, it was found that the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group and the control group was 16.7%(3/18) and 81.2%(26/32), the proportion of repeated donors in the observation group and the control group was 77.7%(14/18) and 31.2%(10/32). 【Conclusion】 Female platelet donors with low body weight and high platelet count should be given more care during the collection process. It is suggested that giving more times of oral administrations of calcium gluconate by 10% and one more collection cycle to reduce the collection peak in each cycle, as well as the supplement of saline, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions to blood donation, thus improving blood donation satisfaction and increasing the proportion of repeated blood donors.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To study the changes of platelet components(PC), apheresis platelets (AP) and pooled platelet concentrates (PPC) production of 19 provincial blood centers before and during the COVID-19 epidemic. 【Methods】 The data related to the collection of AP and the preparation of PPC from 2016 to 2021 of 19 provincial blood centers was collected. The production of PC, AP and PPC during the four years before the epidemic (i.e. 2016-2019) and during the COVID-19 epidemic (i.e. 2020 and 2021) were calculated respectively, and the change of production was analyzed. 【Results】 The total production of PC in 19 blood centers steadily increased from 2016 to 2019, with a decrease of 4.16% in 2020 and an increase of 15.60% in 2021, exceeding the output before the COVID-19 epidemic. In 2020, the production of PC of 42.11% (8/19) blood centers decreased compared with 2019, while 94.74% (18/19) in 2021 increased compared with 2020. The changes of AP output was basically consistent with the trend of PC. The total production of PPC in 2017 and 2018 both doubled compared to the previous year, while decreased by 67.98% in 2019, increased by 30.38% in 2020 and decreased by 27.08% in 2021. 【Conclusion】 The total production of PC kept increasing steadily between 2016 and 2019, but decreased in 2020 under the COVID-19 epidemic, with some blood centers being significantly affected. In 2021, with the strong support from government and various measures by blood centers, the total production of PC increased.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the effect of inspection sheet on improving the quality of apheresis platelet, the satisfaction of blood donors and the cooperation ability of phlebotomists in the process of apheresis platelet collection. 【Methods】 Apheresis platelet donors from May to August 2021 in our center were selected as control group(without inspection sheet) and those from September to December 2021 were included in the observation group (with inspection sheet). The incidence of abnormal collection and the causes during collection process were compared between the two groups.And 100 first-time blood donors in each group were randomly selected for satisfaction survey. The questionnaire was made to investigate the phlebotomists’ recognition on the implementation of inspection sheet. 【Results】 The number of blood donors in the two groups were 6 673 and 6 559, with 111 and 49 abnormal cases, respectively. The total incidence of abnormal cases during blood collection before and after the implementation of inspection sheet was 1.66% and 0.75%, respectively, with the latter significantly lower than the former(P<0.001). The most common causes of abnormal conditions were repetitive puncture, followed by adverse reaction of blood donation, red blood cells contamination in platelet and fatty blood. The satisfaction of first-time blood donors was higher than before the implementation, and the recognition of phlebotomists on the inspection sheet was more than 90%. 【Conclusion】 The implementation of inspection sheet helps to regulate the collection process, strengthen the responsibility and service consciousness of phlebotomists, improve the satisfaction of blood donors, reduce the incidence of adverse events, and improve the quality of platelet products, which is worth popularizing in blood collection and supply institutions.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To compare and study the characteristics of blood donors with and without adverse reactions to apheresis platelet donation(ARAPD), and to study the influencing factors of blood donors participating in blood donation again, so as to provide basis for putting forward scientific and reasonable countermeasures and retaining blood donors to the greatest extent. 【Methods】 157 679 platelet donors from Tianjin Blood Center from December 26, 2015 to December 25, 2020 were selected and divided into ARAPD group(n=168) and non-ARAPD group (n=157 511). Such characteristics as sex, age, height, weight, blood type, educational background, first-time donation or not, platelet count, hematocrit, phlebotomy time, circulating blood volume and anticoagulant dosage of the two groups were analyzed. Chi-square test was used to identify the high-risk population with poor blood donation response. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to study the influencing factors of blood donors returning. 【Results】 The age, height and weight of ARAPD group were lower than those of the non-ARAPD group, and the proportion of first-time blood donors, the proportion of women and phlebotomy time were higher than those of non-ARAPD group. There was little difference between the two groups in circulating blood volume, anticoagulant dosage, pre- and post-donation platelet count and hematocrit. Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of ARAPD were age, educational background, first-time donation or not and phlebotomy time, among which age and first-time donation or not were positively correlated, education and phlebotomy time were negatively correlated (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Female, low age, low height and weight, and less blood donation are the basic characteristics of high-risk people with ARAPD. Low age, high education, first-time blood donation and long phlebotomy time are the influencing factors that lead to donor lapsing. Therefore, countermeasures are put forward based on the above results.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the effect of two different oral calcium supplementation methods(method 1: bone health basic supplements in the interval plus routine calcium supplement; method 2: only routine calcium supplement on the day of donation)on platelet donors, to improve some biochemical indexes of the body caused by citrate anticoagulant. 【Methods】 A total of 252 long-term regular platelet donors in our station from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (n=126) were given 10% calcium gluconate oral solution 20 mL before platelet collection, orally. Oral caltrate D3 (containing 600 mg calcium carbonate and 125 international units of vitamin D3) was administered in the interval (20±2 days), 1 tablet per day. Oral alfacalcidol soft capsule (containing alfacalcidol 0.25 μg), 1 tablet per day; control group (n=126) were given routine administration of 10% calcium gluconate oral solution 20 mL before platelet collection. Serum PTH and serum concentrations of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and 25 hydroxyvitamin D of the two groups were detected at 0 min after injection and 0 min after the end of the last circulation, respectively. Meanwhile, the occurrence of blood donation reactions was observed in the two groups. 【Results】 In the experimental group and control group, serum PTH concentration both increased significantly after donation, while serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium and 25 hydroxyvitamin D decreased significantly(P<0.01). After donation, 4 donors in the experimental group and 8 in the control group showed citrate reaction, with the incidence of adverse reactions at 3.17%(4/126)and 6.34%(8/126), respectively. Before blood collection, serum calcium concentration in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, while PTH concentration was lower than that in the control group (P<0.01), but no significant differences were noticed in serum magnesium, inorganic phosphorus and 25 hydroxyl vitamin D concentrations (P>0.05), and so was in the control group after blood collection. 【Conclusion】 Method 1 can further slow down the increase of serum PTH and the decrease of serum calcium, and can effectively reduce the citrate response of blood donors compared with method 2, which is of great significance to prevent osteoporosis in long-term regular blood donors.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To study the current situation of apheresis platelets collection in various regions of Gansu province by comparing and analyzing relevant data from blood stations in 14 prefecture-level cities of Gansu province. 【Methods】 The units of collected platelets and rate of double-dose collection in 13 regional blood stations and 1 provincial blood center from 2016 to 2020, as well as the clinical supply and demand was statistically analyzed. 【Results】 From 2016 to 2020, the total units of platelets collected by 13 blood stations and 1 blood center in Gansu increased from 11 255 U to 15 270 U, with the increase rate at 35.7% in 5 years, and mainly were collected by the provincial blood center (74.57%, 50 253/ 67 392). Although the rate of double-dose collection in the province showed a steady upward trend, only 3 blood stations realized annual double-dose collection more than 20%. There was still a gap of about 10% between supply and clinical needs. 【Conclusion】 Although the number of platelet collections and units in each blood station in Gansu is on the rise in general, the units collected varies in each blood station. Therefore, further measures need to be taken from the aspects of publicity, recruitment, optimizing the collection process, improving the rate of double-dose collection, retention of regular blood donors and regional coordination to increase the collection units, narrow down the regional gap and ensure the balance between supply and demand.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To study and analyze the characteristics of 56-60 years old apheresis platelet donors and the results of pre-donation blood testing in Tianjin, so as to provide reference for the management of blood stations and the maintenance and retention of blood donors. 【Methods】 The information of platelet donors were collected by Tianjin Blood Center from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2021.The donors aged 56-60(the observation group) were compared with donors aged 18-55(the control). The number of blood donations, male to female ratio, donation frequency, proportion of two-therapeutic-amount donation, rate of deferred donation, incidence of adverse reactions to blood donation, etc of the two groups were studied. The pre-donation test results of the two groups were also compared through the analysis of the unqualified factors of blood routine. 【Results】 From 2012 to 2021, there were 2 837 platelet donors aged 56-60 in Tianjin, and the donation frequency and proportion of two-therapeutic-amount donation were significantly higher than those in the control. The blood routine indexes were significantly different between two groups, but all fluctuated within the normal range(P<0.05). More donors in the observation group than the control were deferred due to unqualified blood routine indexes, mainly caused by Hb deferral. 【Conclusion】 In the past 9 years, the number of apheresis platelet donors aged 56-60 in Tianjin has been stablely increasing. Elderly donors always meet the health requirements of donations according to the results of blood tests. Close monitor of the blood routine indexes, however, should be paid to such population to ensure the elderly donor health and donation safety.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To learn the production efficient of platelet components among prefecture-level blood stations in China, to provide supporting data for those blood stations to optimize the production mode of platelet components and continuously improve production efficiency and supply capacity. 【Methods】 The data from 2017 to 2020 was obtained from 24 prefecture-level blood stations who were the members of the practice comparison network for blood institutes in China. The collection units of apheresis platelets, the number of dual-collections of apheresis platelets and plasma, the average apheresis units of one platelet apheresis procedure, the discarded rate of apheresis platelets, the amount of expired apheresis platelets and the amount of apheresis platelets issued were collected. For concentrated platelets, the prepared amount of platelet concentrates and the amount of expired platelet concentrates were collected; both the quantity of qualified and issued concentrated platelets were submitted for statistical analysis.The total output and efficiency of platelet components were calculated based on the collected data. 【Results】 The average annual growth rate of apheresis platelets collection in 24 prefecture-level blood stations was 12.23%, accounting for 99.80% of the total platelet output; the average collection unit of one platelets apheresis procedure was 1.75; from 2019 to 2020, only 5 blood stations performed dual-collection of platelet and plasma during one apheresis procedure; the discarded rate of apheresis platelets was 0.28%, of which 0.007% was due to expiration. A total of 1 621.2 therapeutic units of concentrated platelets were prepared, and 13.03% of them was discarded due to the expiration. The production efficiency of platelet components was 97.56%, of which the production efficiency of apheresis platelets was 97.61% and the production efficiency of concentrated platelets was 74.43%. 【Conclusion】 There are large regional differences in the supply capacity of platelet components in prefecture-level blood stations. Apheresis platelets are the main resource of platelet components product, and the collection capacity is increasing over the years with the characteristics of high production efficiency and low expiration scrapping rate. However, the preparation of concentrated platelets are still limited with relatively low production and high expiration discarded rate.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the changes of blood routine and platelet related parameters of the elderly apheresis platelet donors since the first donation, so as to ensure the health and platelet quality of the elderly apheresis donors. 【Methods】 From 2019 to 2021, a total of 69 apheresis platelet donors in our center, aged 55-60 years old, involving 3400 occasions of donation, were enrolled in this study. The change trends of blood routine and platelet related parameters before and after the age of 55 were retrospectively analyzed. One way ANOVA was used for group comparison, and Pearson correlation analysis of platelet parameters was performed. 【Results】 The values of blood routine and platelet related parameters were higher in men than in women (P0.05). As for the males in comparison of the parameters before 55 years old, WBC decreased significantly after 55 years of age (P0.05). The changes of PDW, MPV and P-LCR were consistent and showed a linear positive correlation. 【Conclusion】 The blood routine tests of the elderly apheresis platelet donors were all within the normal range and the proportion was relatively stable. Personalized blood donation schemes should be customized for the elderly blood donors and the health management of blood donors should be implemented.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the changes of gene sequencing and proteomics of apheresis platelet (AP) exosomes in different storage periods and predict the function of AP exosomes in different storage periods.@*METHODS@#Platelets at different storage periods of 0 day (D0), 3 day (D3) and 5 day (D5) were collected, exosomes were extracted with Gradient centrifugation; gene sequencing and proteomic analysis were used to analyze the exosomes, and biological functions of platelet exosomes were analyzed and predicted by bioinformatics. Liquid mass spectrometry (LMS) was used to detect the changes and function prediction of exosomes proteins. The small RNA sequencing library was prepared, and the constructed library was sequenced and bioinformatics technology was used for data analysis.@*RESULTS@#AP exosome iTRAQ protein analysis showed that AP exosomes stored in D3 with 55 up-regulated proteins and 94 down-regulated proteins (P<0.05, FC<0.83 or FC>1.2), while AP exosomes stored in D5 with 292 up-regulated proteins and 53 down-regulated proteins (P<0.05, FC<0.83 or FC>1.2) as compared with D0. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the proteins were mainly involved in transport and metabolism, immune system, cancer, membrane transport and other processes. There were statistically significant differences between AP exosome miRNAs in different storage days (P<0.01). The number of miRNA up-regulated and down-regulated was 374 and 255 as compared with the number of platelet exosomes miRNA stored in D3 and D0, while that was 297 and 242 in D5 and D0, and 252 and 327 in D5 and D3, respectively. The target genes of differential platelet exosome miRNAs were analyzed by GO enrichment. Target genes of differential miRNA were mainly involved in membrane composition, mainly played molecular functions binding to proteins, and participated in biological processes of transcriptional regulation.@*CONCLUSION@#The exosome differential proteins and miRNAs in D5 are significantly different from those in the D0 of APs, and they are involved in various biological processes.

【Objective】 To study the effect of changes in red blood cell parameters and blood donation interval on ferritin level in platelet donors with ferritin deficiency, so as to provide experimental evidence for formulating targeted blood donor care strategies. 【Methods】 100 regular male platelet apheresis donors in April 2020 were selected to test the ferritin and red blood cell parameters. Blood donors were classified according to the annual blood donation numbers: 3~10, 11~15, and 16~24, and the difference of iron deficiency rate among groups was analyzed. They also were classified according to the detection value of ferritin: iron deficiency donors versus SF normal donors, and the changes of Hb, MCV, MCH and MCHC values of them were compared. The iron deficiency donors were stratified by donation time: January to March 2019, April to June 2019, July to September 2019, October to December 2019 and January to April 2020, so as to compare the changes of Hb, MCV and MCH values among each group. The iron deficiency donors, continued the donation afterwards, were divided into interval-extended donors (minimum donation interval of 30 days) and normal ones (minimum donation interval of 14 days), and blood donation from May to December 2020 was intervened and observed. In December 2020, serum ferritin was tested again for iron deficiency donors to analyze the changes in SF between two groups. 【Results】 The incidence of iron deficiency in three groups with different donation frequency was 7.5%, 22.5% and 40.0%, respectively(P0.05), and original 13.89±4.66 vs current 35.92±5.20 in the extended ones(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The incidence of iron deficiency in apheresis platelet donors increased as blood donation frequency elevated. The Hb, MCV, MCH and MCHC value of iron deficiency donors decreased while the dispersion of pre-collection Hb, MCV and MCH decreased. MCV and MCH are superior to Hb in early-reflection of metabolism status of red blood cell. It is recommended that iron deficiency donors with Hb less than 130 g/L should reduce the frequency of donation. Extending the donation interval can increase the SF level of iron deficiency donors.Dynamic monitoring of ferritin and related red blood cell parameters should be carried out by blood banks to customize the donation interval.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To develop and implement a precise and efficient telephone recruitment strategy for apheresis platelet donors based on the information management of blood collection and supply process. 【Methods】 A telephone recruitment strategy based on the whole process information management of apheresis platelet donors (hereinafter referred to as telephone recruitment) was formulated From January 1, 2019, apheresis platelet donors in Hangzhou, registered in the intelligent blood donor recruitment system(hereinafter referred to as the recruitment system), were recruited by telephone calls or (and) SMS reminders to inform re-donation interval, key points of recruitment consultation, blood donation appointment time and other precautions. Response rate, pass rate and blood donation rate of donors before(in 2018) and after( in 2019) the implementation of telephone recruitment, as well as the above three rates during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 in Hangzhou were collected and analyzed by χ2 test. 【Results】 The response rate, pass rate, and blood donation rate of apheresis platelet donors in Hangzhou before /after the implementation of telephone recruitment and during the COVID-19 epidemic were 28.52%(3 901/13 678)vs 30.52%(4 429/14 511)vs 39.36%(4 064/10 326), 73.80%(2 879/3 901)vs 77.83%(3 447/4 429)vs 78.20%(3 178/4 064)and 6.77%(2 879/42 553)vs 7.77%(3 447/44 366)vs 8.13%(3 178/39 077, respectively(P<0.05). In 2020, 85.94%(3 178/3 698) of apheresis donors were recruited by telephone(P<0.05). The proportion of apheresis donations successfully recruited by telephone in 2018 and 2019 accounted for 11.74% (2 879/24 519) and 12.48% (3 447/27 628), respectively(P<0.05), contributing 10.59% (4 030 U/38 040 U) and 11.38% (4 875 U/42 853 U) of units(P<0.05) that issued to the clinical. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of blood donors recruited by telephone and its proportion in 2020 decreased significantly as compared with those before the implementation of telephone recruitment (2019). 【Conclusion】 The telephone recruitment strategy based on the whole-process information management (system) of blood collection and supply can effectively improve the targeted recruitment of apheresis platelet donors and enhance its proportion of apheresis collection that issued to the clinical.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in apheresis platelet donors, so as to further ensure the safety of apheresis platelet donors and provide guidance for the recruitment strategy. 【Methods】 Apheresis platelet donors from July 2018 to December 2020 were selected and venous blood was drawn. The glycosylated hemoglobin detection was conducted for donors who had never did this before or did this 3 months ago, and glycosylated hemoglobin >6.0% was regarded as abnormal. 【Results】 A total of 986 blood donors were detected, among which 32 donors with abnormal glycosylated hemoglobin were found, rated at 3.25%. With the increase of age and BMI(height and body mass index), the proportion of abnormal glycosylated hemoglobin increased, but the 51~60 age group and BMI > 28.0 group were not the highest, which may be related to the source of samples.The rate of abnormal glycosylated hemoglobin was highest in 40~50 years old group (5.43%, 15 / 276) and BMI ranged of 24.0~27.9 (4.04%, 9 / 223), and lowest (0.85%, 1 / 118) in 18~25 years old group and BMI >28.0(none). 【Conclusion】 The abnormal glycosylated hemoglobin is closely related to age and BMI. Therefore, we should give priority to young and underweight donors when recruiting blood donors, which can improve efficiency and maximize the safety of blood donors.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the deferral causes of apheresis platelet donors during primary screening in Qinghai, so as to take appropriate measures to improve the pass rate of donors. 【Methods】 The primary screening results of 6 673 apheresis donors from January 2018 to January 2020 in Qinghai were analyzed retrospectively. And the deferral results of donors were compared according to high(>2 500 m), middle(about 2 000 m) and low(<1500 m) altitude. 【Results】 41.7%(531) of those high-altitude blood donors were deferred, as low Plt accounted for 13.2%(168), high ALT 11.9%(151), high Hct/Hb/RBC 11.8%(150), and limepic blood 4.0%(51). 8.1% of the middle-altitude donors were deferred. As for low-altitude donors, low HCT, Hb and RBC(0.6%, 8 cases) were the dominant reason. 【Conclusion】 The different altitudes and living habits of blood donors may result in their deferral. Appropriate measures should be carried out for apheresis donors from areas of different altitudes when recruiting donors, so as to elevate the pass rate.
