Estimating the serological underrecognition of patients with weak or partial RHD variants
DISCUSSION: Based on AF, >80% of patients with weak or partial RHD variants were unrecognized serologically. Although overall anti-D rates were low, better detection of partial RHD variants is desirable.PMID:38634174 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17810 (Source: Transfusion)

Neutrophil antigen antibodies affect engraftment and secondary graft failure in hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation
DISCUSSION: The study reveals a potential link between anti-HNA and HPC transplantation outcomes not previously reported. Patients with anti-HNA had a lower proportion and cumulative incidence of achieving donor chimerism. Additionally, anti-HNA status affected the time for neutrophil engraftment, with a slower rate of neutrophil engraftment and increased risk of secondary failure in patients with anti-HNA.PMID:38634344 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17830 (Source: Transfusion)

Anti-D immunization after D positive platelet transfusions in D negative recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
DISCUSSION: Anti-D immunization is low after D incompatible platelet transfusions and dependent on recipients' sex and platelet source. We propose anti-D prophylaxis in girls and women, capable of becoming pregnant in the future, that received D+ platelets, regardless of platelet source, to reduce the risk of anti-D induced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.PMID:38634345 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17833 (Source: Transfusion)

A review and analysis of outcomes in randomized clinical trials of plasma transfusion in patients with bleeding or for the prevention of bleeding: The BEST collaborative study
CONCLUSION: There is an expanding literature on plasma transfusion to inform guidelines. However, considerable heterogeneity of reported outcomes constrains comparisons. A core outcome set should be developed for plasma transfusion studies. Standardization of outcomes will motivate better study design, facilitate comparison, and improve clinical relevance for future trials of plasma transfusion.PMID:38623793 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17835 (Source: Transfusion)

A 3-step method for preparing cryopreserved samples of apheresis products for post-thaw analysis yields a higher percentage of viable cells
DISCUSSION: Slow, step-wise dilutions of freshly thawed samples of cryopreserved apheresis products to 1:20 yielded higher and more precise viability measurements compared to quickly washing samples to remove DMSO.PMID:38606842 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17822 (Source: Transfusion)
