Article Synopsis
- - New antibody investigation algorithm (AIA) significantly reduced potential false-positive warm autoantibody (WAA) cases from 11% to 6% by categorizing ambiguous cases as 'antibody of undetermined significance' (AUS).
- - Analysis of patient data from 2017-2021 showed no transition from AUS to potential WAA with the new AIA, although some patients developed specific alloantibodies like anti-E and anti-C.
- - Implementing the new AIA led to more efficient use of resources and less need for phenotypically matched red blood cells, but it remains important to rule out clinically significant antibodies before classifying cases as AUS.
