AI Article Synopsis
- ABO/D grouping errors continue to lead to fatalities, but the risk has decreased notably in the last 30 years thanks to automation and improved error control.
- The text is divided into three parts: the first examines the causes of blood group discrepancies, the second discusses the historical advancements in immunohematology, and the third covers the impact of molecular techniques in the field.
- Overall, the text highlights ongoing challenges in blood grouping while acknowledging the progress made in reducing errors.
Article Abstract
ABO/D grouping errors are still causing fatalities despite the substantial decrease observed over the past thirty years. This risk reduction is due, in part, to the increased automation of immunohematology techniques, a better control of clerical errors and a better knowledge of group discrepancies. The first part of the text will summarize the etiologies of group discrepancies while the second part will expose briefly the historical and technical evolution in immunohematology. Finally in the third part, the role of molecular techniques in immunohematology will be discussed.
