Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Transfusion infectious agents such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and, hepatitis C virus (HCV) are among the greatest threats to blood safety for recipients. They are also the leading causes of death and chronic and life-threatening abnormalities. Methods: Serological screening was performed on 42582 blood donors at the M.Y. Hospital blood bank, Indore, M.P. India between January 2008 and December 2010. We applied post-stratification weights to control for sampling bias and used logistic regression analyses to examine the association of seropositivity and co-infections with sex, age, provinces of residence, and year of blood donation. Result: Majority of donors are voluntary donors (73.85%) and male donors (97.66%). Seroprevalence of HBV, HIV and HCV are 1.97 %, 0.185 % and 0.032 % respectively. Age group 26-35 year are show higher seroprevalence (1.023 %) for all types of transfusion transmitted disease. Conclusion: A suitably conducted that the time and cost involved screening, notification and counseling of permanently deferred donors will help in reducing these co-infections rates.
