“…Out of 143 blood units discarded, 84 units (58.74%) were discarded due to Sero-positivity, followed by 38 units (26.5%) due to date expiry. This is similar to studies conducted by Kumar A et al [19] and Arora I et al [20] where the major reason for discard of blood and components was sero-positivity followed by date expiry.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDBlood transfusion has hazards of Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTI). Blood has several components whose separation, storage and utilization has brought down adverse reactions in recipients. This study aims at evaluating the prevalence of TTI in donors and the pattern of utilization of blood and its components in a tertiary care hospital. METHODSThis is a retrospective descriptive study done between January to December 2017. Data regarding the screening of blood, component separation, storage, utilization and discarding was collected and analysed. RESULTSOut of 4158 donations screened, prevalence of TTI was 38 (0.9%) and that of HBV and HCV was 36 (0.86%) and 2 (0.04%). None of them were positive for HIV, Syphilis and Malaria. Total blood units collected were 10,184. PRBC (32.87%) was the most utilized component followed by FFP (30.59%), Platelet (26.18%), WB (10.33%) and Cryoprecipitate (0.04%). Obstetric (45.42%) cases were most benefited. Out of 143 units discarded, 84 units (58.74%) were discarded due to sero-positivity. CONCLUSIONSThis study analyses the prevalence of TTIs in a tertiary care centre over a period of one year and also emphasizes the appropriate and judicious use of blood and blood components.

“…In 2012, 13·3% of prepared components were wasted. Discard rate of blood components in central India was 14·6%, which was similar to the present study's results (Kumar et al ., ). In 10 European countries, the wastage level was reported to range between 0·2 and 7·7%, with an average of 4·5% (Veihola et al ., ).…”

“…Other studies also showed that highest rate of wastage were related to PLT component. In central India, 37% of PLT units were discarded, in which expiry was the most common cause of wastage (Kumar et al ., ). A study conducted in Malaysia indicated that PLT wastage was 6%.…”

“…In a study of blood services in Uganda, the discard rate due to infectious test reactivity was nearly 6% (Kajja et al ., ). Analysis of reasons for discarding blood components in central India showed that 1·2% of RBCs or FFP units were discarded due to seropositivity for transfusion‐transmissible infections (TTIs) (Kumar et al ., ). The total blood discard rate due to positive serology in a blood centre in Curitiba‐Brazil was 5% (Monich et al ., ).…”

Introduction: Each unit of blood is precious and has to be utilized properly with minimal discards. The aim of this study was to find out the reasons for discarding blood and blood components. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively studied all whole blood and blood components collected during January 2013 to June 2014 at our tertiary care teaching hospital blood bank in South India. Results:Of the 5261 whole blood bags, 298 (5.7%) were discarded. Of these, 146 (49%) were discarded because of seroreactivity for transfusion transmitted infections (TTI). Of the 19586 blood components prepared, 1449 (7.4%) were discarded. Among blood components discarded, most common units were platelets (16.3%). The most common cause of discarding the blood components was due to expired date (36.9%). Conclusion: A properly conducted donor screening, notification and counselling of permanently deferred donors will help in discarding less number of bags which are positive for different TTI. Properly implemented blood transfusion policies will help to utilize the blood components in a proper way resulting in discarding the less number of blood bags due to expiry.
