Analysis of influencing factors on re-entry of HBV DNA reactive blood donors / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To explore the factors affecting NAT reactive blood donors re-entry, so as to provide data support for formulation of scientific and reasonable strategy. 【Methods】 The basic data and laboratory test results of 174 NAT reactive returning blood donors from January 2019 to August 2021 were collected and statistically analyzed by logistic regression. 【Results】 Among 174 HBV DNA reactive blood donors applying for re-entry, 81 (46.6%) were eligible for re-entry. Blood donation type and deconstructed Ct value were independent influencing factors of blood donors’ re-entry (P0.05). No significant difference was observed in Ct values of deconstruction test, first re-entry test and second re-entry test (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In view of the low re-entry rate of NAT reactive blood donors, it is necessary to establish a set of safety criteria to lessen workloads. Donors with exceeding minipool-Ct-values, repeat reactive by two NAT reagents, failure in the first re-entry test are suggested to be deferred permanently.
