Background And Objectives: Cold-stored whole blood (CS-WB) in paediatric cardiac surgery is making a resurgence, given its identified benefits compared to conventional blood component therapy (CT).
Study Design And Methods: A single-centre retrospective study was conducted from January 2018 to October 2018 by including children <18 years of age undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. ABO-compatible CS-WB from non-directed random donors was leukoreduced with platelet-sparing filters and compared with CT.

Background And Objectives: Malaria risk deferral policies are important for mitigating the risk of transfusion-transmitted malaria and apply to all transfusable components, including plasma. While donors of plasma components are deferred for malaria risk in the United States, the viability of intraerythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum parasites present in human plasma components stored under different temperatures and durations has not been previously reported.
Materials And Methods: We spiked human plasma with a low level of ring-stage P.

Background And Objectives: Restless legs syndrome (RLS), with adverse health outcomes, has been linked to blood donation, but evidence published thus far has not been rigorously analysed. This systematic review aggregates existing evidence on RLS among blood donors and identifies associated factors worthy of further investigation.
Materials And Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for articles published through 16 December 2023.

Background And Objectives: To test the performance of a new droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) non-invasive foetal blood group and platelet antigen genotyping assay in the setting of a Dutch reference laboratory for foetal blood group and platelet antigen genotyping. Our population comprised 229 consecutive alloimmunized pregnant women who presented between April 2022 and March 2023 with 250 requests for non-invasive foetal RHD, RHE, RHc, RHC, K1, HPA-1a or HPA-5b blood group and platelet antigen genotyping.
Materials And Methods: Samples were genotyped for blood group and platelet antigen alleles along with methylated RASSF1a (mRASSF1a) and sex-determining region of Y (SRY) and DYS14 as positive foetal controls.
