RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study and analyse the application of ELISA and nucleic acid test (NAT) to HBV detection of voluntary blood donors in Qingyang city and the characteristics and social attributes of HBV positive population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The HBV of 70 659 blood donors in Qingyang city from January 2013 to December 2016 was detected by using ELISA and NAT, and the statistical analysis of results was performed by means of Xdetection and FIsher' s Exact test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The HBV positive rate detected by ELISA was 0.47% in 70 659 blood samples, and the HBV positive rate detected by NAT was 0.05% in 47 913 HBV negative samples detected by ELISA, moreover, the number of HBV negative by ELISA detection yet HBV positive by NAT detection increased year by year. The statistical analysis of positive population characteristics showed that the age distoibution was mainly between 26-45 years old, however the difference of detected rate between 26-45 years old and 18-25 years old gradually decreased on near 2 years, showing that the positive population tended to be younger. The distribution of blood type was B>O>A>AB, while the sex distribution was male> female, but this difference showed gradually nairowing trend due to increment of female voluntary donors with HBV positive; for marital status, HBV positive concentrated in married population. The regional distribution of HBV positive mainly concentrated in Xifeng region, mainly in jobless population; the HBV positive comparison betwwen anationalities showed Han natienatity was > minoring nationalitie.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The application of ELISA combined with NAT for the HBV screaning of blood voluntary donors in Qiangyang city can prevent the detection failed and occult HBV, and reduce the potential risk of blood transfution. The characteristis analysis of HBV positive population provides practical basis for the safe use and transfution of blood.</p>
