Blood product supply and utilization are understudied in Saudi Arabia. This study evaluates the trends in Saudi blood banks readiness, donors' demography, and blood product utilization and wastage.
A retrospective, cross-sectional study of records obtained from the Ministry of Health (MOH) was initiated to report trends and statistics on annual whole blood donors and blood product utility from 2010 to 2020. Data collected in 2020 was further characterized for donors' demographics, laboratory readiness, and staffing.
The average number of annual blood donors over the last decade (2010-2020) was 325,847.3 ± 43,160. The forecasted blood donation and dispatch trends suggest a significant increase in blood demand (R = 0.7582) over annual donation rates (R = 0.2356). In 2020, 342,460 nationwide blood donations were registered in governmental donation centers and females constituted a mere 2.5 %. Approximately 60 % of whole blood donation was voluntary, 36% was compensatory, and 4% was part of driving license renewal. The highest blood donation rate per 1,000 inhabitants was observed in Taif (69.8) and Alqonfoda (45.0). Eastern directory and Madinah had the most successful donation campaigns attracting 53% and 50% of total annual donations, respectively. Notably, Tabouk, Hai'l, and Albaha had the highest blood product wastage medians.
Blood donation rates and impetus, staffing ratios, and laboratory readiness and wastage varied among the various directories. Laboratory managers and medical directors need to increase efforts to refine current guidelines in order to comply with the transformation plan of the health sector.
沙特阿拉伯对血液制品的供应和使用情况研究不足。本研究评估了沙特血库的准备情况、献血者人口统计学特征、血液制品使用及浪费情况的趋势。
开展一项对从卫生部获取的记录进行的回顾性横断面研究,以报告2010年至2020年全血年度献血者和血液制品使用情况的趋势及统计数据。对2020年收集的数据进一步按献血者人口统计学特征、实验室准备情况和人员配备进行了分析。
过去十年(2010 - 2020年)年度献血者的平均数量为325,847.3 ± 43,160人。预测的献血和分发趋势表明,血液需求(R = 0.7582)的增长幅度显著高于年度献血率(R = 0.2356)。2020年,政府献血中心登记的全国献血量为342,460次,其中女性仅占2.5%。全血捐献中约60%是自愿的,36%是补偿性的,4%是驾照更新的一部分。每1000名居民中献血率最高的是塔伊夫(69.8)和阿尔孔福达(45.0)。东部地区和麦地那的献血活动最为成功分别吸引了年度总献血量的53%和50%。值得注意的是,塔布克、海勒和艾卜哈的血液制品浪费中位数最高。
不同地区的献血率和动力、人员配备比例、实验室准备情况及浪费情况各不相同。实验室管理人员和医疗主任需要加大力度完善现行指南,以符合卫生部门的转型计划。
