Background: Since 2012, in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) resolution WHA63.12 of 05/21/2010, the Italian National Blood Center has been promoting patient blood management (PBM). In order to verify the level of PBM implementation nationwide, we submitted a survey to all healthcare providers.

- * No definitive differences in pain relief or functional improvement were found in most tendinopathy cases, though patients with carpal tunnel syndrome showed some significant benefits from PRP therapy.
- * Overall, the evidence quality was considered low due to potential biases and inconsistencies, and PRP recipients reported more injection site pain compared to those receiving other treatments.
Background: Acute and delayed vasovagal reactions (VVR) are the most frequent adverse reactions (AR) associated with donations. The aim of this study was to provide the data of the Italian donor haemovigilance system and contextualise the VVR data within the international framework, as well as evaluating, among first-time donors, the association of gender and age and the prevalence of VVR compared to other AR.
Materials And Methods: The prevalence analysis was performed on VVR and other AR notified to the Italian haemovigilance system from 2016 to 2019.
Objectives: To estimate the number of actually Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected blood donors applying a statistical forecasting model.
Background: Following the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, a drop in blood donation has been observed. It is crucial to determine the actual number of potential SARS-CoV-2-positive donors to define the measures and ensure adequate blood supply.
Background And Objective: Donor selection criteria (DSC) are a vital link in the chain of supply of Substances of Human Origin (SoHO) but are also subject to controversy and differences of opinion. Traditionally, DSC have been based on application of the precautionary principle.
Materials And Methods: From 2017 to 2020, TRANSPOSE (TRANSfusion and transplantation PrOtection and SElection of donors), a European research project, aimed to identify discrepancies between current DSC by proposing a standardized risk assessment method for all SoHO (solid organs excluded) and all levels of evidence.
