چکیده

Transfusion is an irreversible event which carries potential benefits as well as risk to the recipient. The objective of this study was to analyse all reported transfusion reactions of the year 2008 in the Blood Bank Unit of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC). This is a retrospective study that was carried out by retrieving data from the laboratory information system. A total of 27842 transfusions were documented and the total reported transfusion reactions were 149. The incidence of transfusion reaction was 1 in 187 of all transfusions (0.54%); in which 69 (0.25%) were allergic in nature and 61 (0.22%) were febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR). Hypotensive reactions were identified in 6 (0.02%) patients. There were 9 (0.03%) cases reported with haemoglobinuria where no serological evidence of haemolytic transfusion reaction (HTR) was found. One HTR (0.003%) was identified and this was due to an error in patient identification in the ward. Other specified reactions like transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), bacterial infections, Graft verses host disease (GVHD) were not reported. The highest frequency of the reactions occurred in the red cell transfusions which accounted for 111 cases. In conclusion, the incidences of transfusion reactions are low when compared to those reported by other centres.
