An insight into the utilization pattern helps in future planning of blood drive. This study was conducted to describe the demographic characteristics of the transfusion recipients and pattern of blood and blood product utilization in Nigeria.
Blood bank registers of University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) Calabar were analysed for a 12 month period. Number of blood units requested, number of units issued, Cross-match to transfusion ratio (C/T), age, gender, blood group, blood components received, patients ward and clinical diagnosis were computed. Diagnoses were grouped into broad categories according to the disease headings of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).
Majority of the 2336 transfusion recipients studied were females (69.09%) and are in the reproductive age group; 15-49 years (75.23%). The median age of the recipients was 35 years (range, 0-89). Most of the recipients ( = 1636; 70.04%) received whole blood transfusion. Majority (94.46%) of the cross-matched units were issued giving C/T ratio of 1.06. The common blood group type was O Rhesus positive (62.63%). Obstetrics and Gynecology had the highest blood requisition (41.40%). The majority of the patients were diagnosed with conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth (38.70%), conditions originating in prenatal period (14.38%). The age range of 25-54 years had the highest blood transfusion requests ( = 501; 51.07%), of these, females were majority ( = 390;77.84%).
Our study recorded mostly young patients who received mostly whole blood. Most of the patients in the reproductive age group received transfusion for pregnancy and child-birth related cases.
深入了解血液使用模式有助于未来献血活动的规划。本研究旨在描述尼日利亚输血受者的人口统计学特征以及血液和血液制品的使用模式。
对卡拉巴尔大学教学医院（UCTH）卡拉巴尔分院血库12个月的登记记录进行分析。计算所申请的血液单位数量、发放的单位数量、交叉配血与输血比例（C/T）、年龄、性别、血型、所接受的血液成分、患者病房和临床诊断。根据国际疾病分类（ICD - 10）的疾病标题将诊断分为大类。
在研究的2336名输血受者中，大多数为女性（69.09%），处于生育年龄组；15 - 49岁（75.23%）。受者的中位年龄为35岁（范围，0 - 89岁）。大多数受者（= 1636；70.04%）接受全血输血。交叉配血单位中的大多数（94.46%）被发放，C/T比例为1.06。常见血型为O型Rh阳性（62.63%）。妇产科的用血申请量最高（41.40%）。大多数患者被诊断患有与妊娠和分娩相关的疾病（38.70%），产前起源的疾病（14.38%）。25 - 54岁年龄组的输血申请量最高（= 501；51.07%），其中女性占大多数（= 390；77.84%）。
我们的研究记录显示，大多数年轻患者接受的主要是全血。生育年龄组的大多数患者因妊娠和分娩相关病例接受输血。
