"Applying a personalized approach to patient-donor selection.
Purpose
-
Analyzes demographic, clinical, and laboratory information and assigns a Transfusion Risk Group (TRG) creating an individual patient profile
-
Defines requirements for phenotype-based donor selection
-
Provides a mechanism to create and analyze the patient profile of a service area (collective patient profile)
Patient Profile Content
-
Demographics, clinical, and laboratory information
-
Transfusion conditions, derived from the relevant reported information from the transfusion categories (demographics, diagnosis, alloimmunization, drug)
-
Assigned TRG, determined by matching patient information to TRG classification
-
Phenotype
-
Required level and specifics of recipient blood typing, for proper
donor selection to ensure a safe transfusion and prevention of
undesirable effects of alloimmunization -
Blood typing information sufficiency evaluated against TRG requirements
-
Impossible, improbable, and rare antigen combinations
(i.e., E-e-, C-c-, Jk(a-b-), M-N- -
