Construction of a rapid depression screening model for blood donors in Guangzhou based on decision tree / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the prevalence of depression in blood donors and analyze the related factors, so as to develop a rapid depression screening model for blood donors. 【Methods】 A total of 13 015 street whole blood donors in Guangzhou Blood Center during May to August, 2020 filled in an anonymous e-questionnaire, including social demography information and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 before donation. The cut-off value for detecting depression was 10. Logistic regression by SPSS 26.0 was used to analyze depression related factors. 2-level decision tree with 30/10 as the minimum number of cases in parent/child node, 10-fold cross validation was used to cut items of PHQ-9 to form the depression screening model. 【Results】 364 out of 13 015 (2.80%) street whole blood donors reported a score ≥ 10. Donors with 18-29 years old (P <0.05), unmarried (P<0.05), less than 50 000 RMB household income per year (P< 0.05) were more prone to depression. 81.96% donors in "<10 scores" group, while 3.85%donors in "≥ 10 scores" group were in two terminal nodes formed by Item-6, 2 and 4 of PHQ-9. After verification by the 10 fold crossover method, the estimated misclassification risk of the model was 1.7%. 【Conclusion】 The screening prevalence of depression based on PHQ-9 in Guangzhou blood donors was 2.8%(95% CI: 2.52%-3.09%) . Donation frequency was not related to depression. A rapid and efficient depression screening model for blood donors based on item-6, 2 and 4 of PHQ-9 was developed.

Overview of researches on the status quo of blood donation service in China: based on CiteSpace knowledge mapping analysis / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To analyze the researches on blood donation service during 2001 to 2020, explore the development of blood donation service in China and discover the hot spots and weaknesses in current research, aimed to provide reference for future research. 【Methods】 The research team, institutions and hotspots of related literature from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were analyzed using CiteSpace. 【Results】 After analyzing the selected 969 relevant literature, it is concluded that there is few communication between the core author teams. The inter-agency research network is not mature enough, and the cooperation and communication between institutions need to be further strengthened. The high-frequency keywords were volunteer donors, satisfaction, blood donation response and humanized service. Quality control in the blood donation service process, maintenance and recruitment of regular blood donors, and the establishment and improvement of voluntary blood donation teams were research hot spots. 【Conclusion】 China has made fruitful achievements in the research of blood donation service after 20 years of development. The key point of future research is to strengthen the cooperation between different research teams, integrate the first-line practice of blood collection and supply, as well as explore the individualized and localized theory of blood donation service.

Development and application of blood donor role identity scale (BDRIS) / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To further determine the relationship between blood donor role cognition and blood donation behavior, then prepare of blood donor role identity scale(BDRIS). 【Methods】 The preparation of the scale was divided into five stages. It includes literature retrieval, expert interview, construction of the basic framework of the scale, scale test and statistical index test. The study focused on items selection, dimensions identification, measurement reliability, content and structural validity. 【Results】 The blood donor role identity scale consisted of 35 items. Exploratory factor analysis divided the items into six common factors, including role identity, role expectation, current situation of blood collection and supply, role conflict, external reward and blood donation experience. The α of scale was 0.840. 【Conclusion】 The reliability and validity of the scale meet the basic measurement requirements, and the framework of the blood donor role scale is basically formed. It can be used as one of the means to explore the ways and mechanisms of the role identity of blood donors in blood donation behavior.

Spatial distribution analysis of blood donors′ intended donation addresses based on ArcGIS / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To apply the spatial distribution analysis based on ArcGIS software, which has been applied widely in other fields, so as to analyze the intended locations for whole blood donation. 【Methods】 After a random stratified sampling was conducted among blood donors in the 17 donation sites during August 1st, 2021- July 30th, 2022, their intended blood donation locations were collected by an e-questionnaire. Addresses of donors′ intended donation locations were derived for GCJ-02 coordinates form and transformed by pandas module of Python to WGS84 coordinates, which further loaded to ArcGIS Arcmap module using Grouping Analysis for 17 median centers. The addresses of 17 blood donation sites in Guangzhou Blood Center were transformed to WGS84 coordinates and loaded to ArcGIS Arcmap module using the same methods for 3 ring buffer analysis. The criterion for judging whether the two were " matched" was whether the intended blood donation sites were covered by or adjacent to the 3 ring buffer zone of the existing blood donation sites. 【Results】 Of the 17 potential sites obtained from the spatial distribution analysis of 40 523 valid addresses of donors, 8 sites were covered or adjacent to the buffer of the existing donation sites, while the other 9 sites were far away from the existing donation sites. 【Conclusion】 By analyzing the spatial distribution of donors′ intended donation addresses, we can find out the service needs of donors for donating blood conveniently, which can provide basis for further blood donation service optimization.

How first-time platelet donors become regular donors: the influencing factors / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To analyze the related factors affecting first-time platelet donors to become regular donors in Guangzhou in 2018, so as to provide reference for the retention of platelet donors. 【Methods】 The data of 4 361 first-time platelet donors in Guangzhou in 2018, including age, gender, initial donation unit, time for the primary and secondary donation were collected. The relevant factors affecting first-time blood donors to become regular donors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 Among the influencing factors, first-time donors returned in the first month were more likely to become regular donors (5.569 times that of those did not return)(OR 95% CI: 4.748~6.533, P<0.05). First-time donors who aged 45~60, and initially donated 2 units were more likely to become regular donors than those aged 18~24(1.857 times) (OR 95% CI: 1.413~2.441, P<0.05), and those initially donated only one unit (1.695 time) (OR 95% CI: 1.486~1.933, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The returning in the first month, age and initial donation units predict long-term commitment for first-time donors. Encouraging first-time platelet donors to return within 1 month is more likely to convert them into regular blood donors.

Influencing factors related to repeated blood donation among college students in Guangzhou / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the positive and negative influencing factors concerning repeated blood donation among college students, in order to provide reference for the maintenance and retention of college student blood donors. 【Methods】 The questionnaire was made in terms of motivators, barriers and social supports related to repeated blood donation based on relevant literature at home and broad and the results of semi-structured interviews. From November to December 2020, 1 200 college donors from 10 colleges in Guangzhou were selected. The results of questionnaires were analyzed with Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression by SPSS 26.0. 【Results】 Good for health, shortage of blood, favorable policy concerning blood donation, and blood need of family members were the four motivators of repeated blood donation. The inconvenience of blood donation location and dissatisfaction with blood donation souvenir were the two barriers. In addition, encouragement from classmates and curiosity were the two motivators, and harmful to health was the barrier in first-time college blood donors. 【Conclusion】 Blood banks should strengthen the publicity of blood related knowledge, preferential policies concerning blood donation, and status of blood collection and supply, etc, make full use of the influence of peers and the favorable environment of colleges to form a right atmosphere for blood donation, and enhance the reputation and service of blood banks.

【Objective】 To investigate the changes of platelet, white blood cell, red blood cell counts, Hb and PCV before and after plateletpheresis donation. 【Methods】 10 444 platelet donors who donated platelet from Aug 1, 2019 to Jul 31, 2020 were selected as subjects, among which first-time donors were selected as control group and donors who donated twice or more as donation group. After matching gender and age using Propensity Score Matching method in the two groups, the changes of platelet, white blood cell, red blood cell counts, Hb and PCV of platelet blood donors were compared by t test. 【Results】 There were a slight increase in Plt (t=-6.651, P0.05) and in PCV (t=0.030, P>0.05) after plateletpheresis donation. 【Conclusion】 Plateletpheresis donation has an effect on some peripheral blood parameters, but within the normal reference range.

HTLV prevalence among blood donors in mainland China in recent 10 years: a meta-analysis / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To obtain HTLV prevalence data among blood donors in mainland China through meta-analyze, and provide reference for relevant policies. 【Methods】 The literature concerning HTLV prevalence among blood donors in mainland China before April 15, 2021 in CNKI, Wanfang and Pubmed was searched. According to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, relative literature within recent 10 years was screened and then analyzed by meta-analysis using R3.3. 【Results】 A total of 69 articles were included, covering 22 provincial administrative regions, with a total sample size of 7 435 501 cases. 535 cases were HTLV positive, of which 491 centred on three coastal provinces as Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang, and 44 scattered in 11 other provincial administrative regions. The pooled prevalence of HTLV in blood donors in Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces were 3.25/10 000(95%CI 1.91/10 000~4.58/10 000), 0.13/10 000(95%CI 0.09/10 000~0.17/10 000) and 0.33/10 000(95%CI 0.06/10 000~0.61/10 000), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the pooled prevalence of HTLV in Fujian blood donors decreased since December 2015. 【Conclusion】 Blood donors in mainland China present low HTLV prevalence, mainly distributed in three coastal provinces as Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang. The sample size tested increased greatly since HTLV screening for blood donors was popularized nationwide in blood stations in December 2015, the infection rate of HTLV in Fujian, however, did not increase as expected.
