Activity Report

At the end of 2019, it was found that there was a very fast mutating virus called the Covid-19 virus, this virus causes diseases ranging from coughs to colds to death, efforts to prevent the spread of this virus by limiting the social scale of the community which causes a decrease in the number of blood donors which has an impact on the amount of blood stock in Blood Donation Unit. The objective of this study was to determine the description of blood donors based on blood type, gender, age, and type of donor at Blood Donation Unit Bantul Regency in 2020. This study was an activity report by observing secondary data obtained from Blood Donation Unit Bantul Regency. The number of donors was 8.212 donors, of which the number of donations from inside the building was 5.936 donors (72,28%), and the number of donations from mobile units was 2.276 donors (27,72%). The results showed that the majority of blood donors were blood group 0, which was 3.506 (42,69%), and the least blood type was AB, which was 468 (5.70%). The majority of the gender of the donor was male, namely 7.020 (85,48%), for female, 1.192 (14,52%). The majority of donors are aged 17-24 years, namely 1.738 (21,16%), and at least 65 years old 45 (0,55%). The majority of voluntary donors were 5.151 (62,73%), and the subtitute/ family donors were 1.034 (12,59%). There were 8.212 blood donors where the majority of blood group 0 was 3.506 (42,69%), male sex was 7.020 (85,48%), in the 17-24 year age group 1.738 (21,16%), and repeated voluntary donors were 5.151 (62,73%).

Back ground: The ABO and Rhesus –D blood group are the major blood group systems. The frequency of four main blood group systems varies in population throughout the world and even in different parts of the country. ABO & Rh blood group antigens play a Vital role in immunologic safety of whole blood and blood component transfusion and also useful in population genetic studies, in resolving medico legal issues. Aim: This study is aimed to document the frequency and distribution pattern of ABO and Rh among blood donors in S.V.R.R.Govt. General Hospital, Tirupati. Study Design: It is a retrospective record based study carried out at Model blood bank S.V.R.R.Govt. General Hospital Tirupati from January 2014 to December 2015. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 13,040 donors. ABO and Rh typing was done by using slide agglutination method with antisera ABO and Rh (tulip Diag). Doubtful cases were confirmed by tube agglutination method and reverse grouping by using pooled A& B cells. The age group and sex of donors and frequency of ABO and Rh blood groups were reported in simple percentages. Results: In the present study the most common blood group was ‘O’ 5505 (42.2%) and least common being AB 778 (5.96%). The prevalence of Rh positive and negative distribution in the study population is 12267(94.07%) and 773(5.93%) respectively. Predominant donors belonged to age group between 18-35 years (85.37 %).Male donors (97.88%) are common than female donors (2.12%) with ratio. Blood group frequency with respect to ABO and Rh was found to be O>B>A>AB. Conclusion:   O positive blood group is significantly high  in our population  while AB Iis least.. Blood donation by females appears to be low provably because of illiteracy, malnutrition and social taboo. So female donor need to be motivated for blood donation.  Knowledge of frequencies of different blood groups is very important for blood banks and transfusion service polices for better use and good inventory of blood units. Key words: Blood groups ABO, Rh

Blood safety remains a challenge to many countries in sub-Saharan Africa including Ghana due to poorly planned blood donation exercises in the various communities. Blood and its products usual-ly come from two main sources; voluntary non-remunerated donors (VNRD) and family replace-ment donors (FRD). In Ghana, and in many developing countries, FRDs seem to be the major source of blood supply whilst in developed countries VNRDs are the major source. This study de-termined and compared the prevalence of four transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs); HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Treponema palladium (TP) among FRDs and VNRDs at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to compare the safety of blood from these two groups. This cross-sectional study was undertaken at the transfusion medicine unit (TMU) of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital between March and May 2014. A total of 400 blood donors (200 FRDs and 200 VNRDs) were enrolled in this study after obtaining written informed consent. Blood samples from each of the donors were then tested for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis using rapid test kits. ABO and Rhesus blood groups were also determined for all the samples. Prev-alence of TTIs was higher among FRDs (23.5%) than in VNRDs (3.5%) with males (47) been more infected than females (7). Age group 21- 30 years was the most infected, followed by age groups 31- 40 years, 11- 20 years, 41- 50 years and 51- 60 years respectively. FRDs among the younger age group, 17- 30 years, were also more infected than their VNRD counterparts. Repeat blood donors among the VNRD group, were found to be safer than their first-time counterparts. Overall, TTIs were significantly higher in the FRD group than in the VNRD group. The prevalence rates of all the infections tested were higher in the FRD group compared to the VNRD group. FRDs were the higher risk population for TTIs in comparison to VNRDs. VNRDs should therefore be encouraged to donate blood regularly.Keywords: Transfusion Transmissible Infections, HBsAg, HCV, HIV, Treponema pallidum

Abstract Abstract 4188 The frequency of minor blood group antigens has not been described among Hispanic blood donors. A retrospective cohort study was performed using the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center (STBTC) donor database, LifeTrak. Blood donors self-identified race and ethnicity. Caucasian and Hispanic donors were eligible. Donors who did not have minor antigen testing performed were not included. The STBTC has a high proportion of Hispanic blood donors (299047/779409, 38%), who are primarily of Mexican ancestry. Minor antigen testing was performed in 10% (74140/779409) of all donors; 8% (25394/299407) of Hispanic donors and 11% (42891/392074) of Caucasian donors. Hispanic donors were significantly more like to express blood type O Rh+ than Caucasian donors (13920/25394, 55% v 14947/74140, 35%; p<0.001). The frequency of ABO and RhD blood groups were similar to those reported previously in Caucasian and Hispanic donors (Garraty, et al. Transfusion, 2004). Of the minor antigens, expression of Rh E also differed significantly between Hispanic and Caucasian donors (4706/11744, 40% v 5416/19497, 28%; p<0.001). The prevalence of the other minor antigens were more similar and are reported in Figure 1. Complete Rh haplotypes were available in 8296 Caucasian donors and 7176 Hispanic donors. The haplotype RhDce differed significantly in 36% of Caucasians and 50% of Hispanics (3022/8296 v 3589/7176). The haplotype RhDce was previously reported as most common in African-Americans at 44% (Avent, et al. Blood, 2000). Haplotype RhDCE was found in 8% of Caucasians and 10% of Hispanics (660/8296 v 643/7176); haplotype RhDcE in 16% of Caucasians and 15% of Hispanics (1354/8296 v 1041/7176); and haplotype RhDCe was found in 39% of Caucasians and 27% of Hispanics (3260/8296 v 1903/7176). Differences exist in the frequency of minor blood group antigens among Caucasian and Hispanic blood donors in Southwest Texas. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Background. This study was aimed at evaluating the seroprevalence and trend of blood-borne pathogens (HIV, HCV, HBV, and Syphilis) among asymptomatic adults at Akwatia during a four-year period (2013–2016). Materials and Methods. The study was a retrospective analysis of secondary data of blood donors who visited the hospital from January 2013 to December 2016. Archival data from 11,436 prospective donors was extracted. Data included age, sex, and place of residence as well as results of infectious markers (HIV, HBV, HCV, and Syphilis). Results. The prevalence of blood-borne pathogens in the donor population was 4.06%, 7.23%, 5.81%, and 10.42% for HIV, HBV, HCV, and Syphilis infections, respectively. A significant decline in HBV and HCV infections was observed in the general donor population and across genders. HIV infection rate remained steady while Syphilis infections recorded a significantly increasing trend, peaking in the year 2015 (14.20%). Age stratification in HBV infection was significant, peaking among age group 40–49 years (8.82%). Conclusion. Asymptomatic blood-borne pathogen burden was high among the adult population in Akwatia. Gender variations in HBV, HCV, and Syphilis infections in the cumulative four-year burden were observed. Awareness needs to be created, especially in the older generation.

Blood type phenotype incompatibility including Rhesus between donors and patients may result in cross-matching problems, triggering alloimmunization, and caused Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction (HTR). Rhesus blood type incompatibility between mother and fetus may cause Hemolytic Disease of Fetus and Newborn (HDFN). Pretransfusion phenotypic blood groups matching also reduce cost efficiently which means antibody screening is no longer needed. The purpose of the study is to find the proportion Rhesus blood type phenotypes in routine blood donors at Blood Donor Unit, Indonesian Red Cross in Bandung city, Indonesia.The study is a descriptive and observational with cross sectional design. The study was done at Blood Donor Unit, Indonesian Red Cross in Bandung city from April 2016 to September 2017. The subjects were 142 routine blood donors, blood sampling was done simultaneously with blood donation. Rhesus antigen examination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) blood was done by gel method. Subjects characteristics were male (68%) and female (32%), with the mean age was 39 years. Examination of Rhesus antigen were found antigen D(100%), antigen e(98,6%), antigen C(97,9%), antigen c(38,7%) and antigen E(31,7%). Results of Rhesus phenotypes were DCe/DCe(61,3%), DCe/DcE(29,6%), DCe/dce(7%), DcE/DcE(1,4%) and DcE/dce(0.7%). The distribution of Rhesus blood type were affected by factors such as genetics, race, ethnicity, marriage, demography, and migration. Rhesus blood phenotypes proportion in routine blood donors at Blood Donor Unit, Indonesian Red Cross in Bandung city sorted from the most are DCe/DCe, DCe/DcE, DCe/dce, DcE/DcE and DcE/dce.Keywords: blood donor, phenotype, Rhesus

Objective To investigate correlations between ABO/rhesus (Rh) blood group antigens and anti- Helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) seropositivity in blood donors. Methods A total of 311 blood donors were enrolled. ABO and Rh blood groups were determined using hemagglutination tests. Specific anti- H. pylori IgG and anti-CagA IgG antibodies in sera were quantitated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations between blood groups and anti- H. pylori and anti-CagA seropositivity were evaluated using the Chi-square test. Results O+ was the most frequent blood type (38%, n = 118). Anti- H. pylori IgG seropositivity was observed in 240 (77.2%) blood donors, while anti-CagA IgG seropositivity was observed in 132 (42.5%) blood donors. Although seropositivity rates for both anti- H. pylori and anti-CagA IgG were higher in individuals with blood type O, no statistically significant associations were observed between seropositivity and any ABO/Rh blood groups. Conclusion Individuals with blood type O may have higher rates of H. pylori seropositivity.

Objectives The prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 among blood donors in China remains unknown. To reveal the missing information, we investigated the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among blood donors in the cities of Wuhan, Shenzhen, and Shijiazhuang of China. Design Cross-sectional study Setting Three blood centers, located in the central, south and north China, respectively, recruiting from January to April 2020. Participants 38,144 healthy blood donors donated in Wuhan, Shenzhen and Shijiazhuang were enrolled, who were all met the criteria for blood donation during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Main outcome measures Specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 including total antibody (TAb), IgG antibody against receptor-binding domain of spike protein (IgG-RBD) and nucleoprotein (IgG-N), and IgM. Pseudotype lentivirus-based neutralization test was performed on all TAb-positive samples. In addition, anonymous personal demographic information, including gender, age, ethnicity, occupation and educational level, and blood type were collected. Results A total of 519 samples from 410 donors were confirmed by neutralization tests. The SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among blood donors was 2.29% (407/17,794, 95%CI: 2.08% to 2.52%) in Wuhan, 0.029% (2/6,810, 95%CI: 0.0081% to 0.11%) in Shenzhen, and 0.0074% (1/13,540, 95%CI: 0.0013% to 0.042%) in Shijiazhuang, respectively. The earliest emergence of SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity in blood donors was identified on January 20, 2020 in Wuhan. The weekly prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Wuhan's blood donors changed dynamically and were 0.08% (95%CI: 0.02% to 0.28%) during January 15 to 22 (before city lockdown), 3.08% (95%CI: 2.67% to 3.55%) during January 23 to April 7 (city quarantine period) and 2.33% (95%CI: 2.06% to 2.63%) during April 8 to 30 (after lockdown easing). Female and older-age were identified to be independent risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity among donors in Wuhan. Conclusions The prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 among blood donors in China was low, even in Wuhan city. According to our data, the earliest emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan's donors should not earlier than January, 2020. As most of the population of China remained uninfected during the early wave of COVID-19 pandemic, effective public health measures are still certainly required to block viral spread before a vaccine is widely available.

Background: Blood donors are the backbone of a transfusion service. To ensure a safe and appropriate transfusion service, donor demography is to be optimized for proper strategic management. The purpose of this study was to assess the socio-demographic profile of blood donors to make targets for national interventions and to promote blood donation. Methods: This descriptive type cross sectional study was conducted in Transfusion Medicine department of Popular Medical College Hospital from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2018. All the blood donors who came to donate blood in this department were included in this study. Their signed consent was obtained to include in this study with their socio-demographic determinants. Frequency, percentage and p value<0.05 were calculated for statistics. Results: Out of the 15702 blood donors, male donors were more with a ratio of 6.78:1. Though the younger age group (25-31 years) showed highest donor population (32.61%), but the younger age group (18-38 years) have maximum donation (86.21%). Unmarried donors were 59.07% among the donors and middle class income group also showed highest donors (59.09%). Student donors (30.55%) were more among the donors. Muslims donors (79.01%) were more than others religious donors. Regarding education level of donors, higher secondary and above level showed highest donation (90.97%) which was statistically significant (p<0.001). Among the donors 78.05% showed their future intension to donate. Conclusions: Works on differences in socio-demographic characteristics of blood donors in times of increasing demand appears to be fruitful to target national interventions and to promote blood donation.
