May 2023
Haemovigilance Programme of India, National Institute of Biologicals, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Background: Hemovigilance has become one of the important quality check systems of blood transfusion process, but under/non-reporting of transfusion-associated adverse reactions despite the presence of reporting systems emphasize the need to understand the challenges being faced in active reporting of adverse transfusion reactions.
Aim: To identify and document the possible factors leading to under-reporting and impacting the quality of blood transfusion reactions being submitted under Haemovigilance Programme of India (HvPI).
Settings And Design: This was a cross-sectional, observational type study, carried out in six blood banks, two each of government, private, and stand-alone sectors in Delhi National Capital Region enrolled under HvPI.
Retrospective Audit of Transfusion Reactions in a Tertiary-Care Hospital in South India.

Pathology, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Pondicherry, IND.
Background: Blood transfusion is a double-edged sword, as it is a life-saving intervention but is also associated with various adverse reactions. However, blood transfusion safety can be improved by identifying these adverse reactions and taking appropriate interventions. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the frequency and type of transfusion reactions occurring among in-patients at our hospital, as reported to our institute's blood center.

Blood transfusion is a critical life-saving medical intervention, but it carries the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) that can lead to serious consequences. TTIs include viral, bacterial, parasitic, and prion infections, transmitted through asymptomatic donor blood, contamination of stored blood products, or transfusion-related immunosuppression. Recognized global agents posing challenges to blood safety include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), Syphilis, etc.

School of Medicine and Health Science, Public Health Research Group, Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia.
Background And Objectives: There is no consensus on a universally accepted threshold to categorize a patient as multitransfused. In 2019, Colombia established the definition of a multitransfused patient as someone who has received six or more blood components, irrespective of the time frame. This study aims to delineate the characteristics, adverse transfusion reactions (ATRs, definitions according to the International Society of Blood Transfusion [ISBT]) and survival rates in this population.
