This study determined the trends of transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs) among blood donors in a regional hospital in Ghana from 2017 to 2022.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 6339 blood donor records. Data were analyzed using STATA version 17.0 at the 0.05 significance level.
The prevalence of TTIs was 31.4% in 2017, 13.8% in 2018, 20.4% in 2019, 9.5% in 2020, 9.6% in 2021, and 11.7% in 2022. There were significant associations between hepatitis C virus (HCV), Syphilis, and sex (OR = 2.06; 95% CI [1.29-3.30]; = .003) and (OR = 2.28; 95% CI [1.48-3.54]; < .001), respectively. Blood donors aged 20-29 were more likely to be infected with hepatitis B virus (OR = 1.96; 95% CI [1.28-2.99]; = .002). Blood donors aged 40-49 had higher odds of infection with HCV (OR = 3.36; 95% CI [2.02-5.57]; < .001) and Syphilis (OR = 3.79; 95% CI [2.45-5.87]; < .001).
The study highlights the need to implement targeted prevention strategies for donors with a higher TTI prevalence.
本研究旨在确定 2017 年至 2022 年加纳一家地区医院献血者中输血传播感染(TTI)的趋势。
对 6339 份献血者记录进行回顾性分析。数据使用 STATA 版本 17.0 进行分析,显著性水平为 0.05。
2017 年、2018 年、2019 年、2020 年、2021 年和 2022 年 TTI 的患病率分别为 31.4%、13.8%、20.4%、9.5%、9.6%和 11.7%。丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)、梅毒和性别之间存在显著关联(OR=2.06;95%CI[1.29-3.30];=0.003)和(OR=2.28;95%CI[1.48-3.54];<0.001)。20-29 岁的献血者更有可能感染乙型肝炎病毒(OR=1.96;95%CI[1.28-2.99];=0.002)。40-49 岁的献血者感染 HCV(OR=3.36;95%CI[2.02-5.57];<0.001)和梅毒(OR=3.79;95%CI[2.45-5.87];<0.001)的几率更高。
该研究强调需要针对 TTI 患病率较高的献血者实施有针对性的预防策略。
