Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association of blood transfusion volume with early death among recipients with known duration of infection in rural central China. Methods From January 1, 1999 to December 30, 2003, 76 individuals with duration of blood transfusion who met the study criterion had been found to be infected in the HIV/AIDS notified system in rural of Yuncheng Prefecture of Shanxi Province, China. A retrospective study was conducted to investigate Socio-demographic characteristics, transfusion volume, and mortality. Cox' proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the data. Results By December 30, 2003, among 76 subjects with transfusion-acquired HIV infection, 24 recipients had died. Mortality rate and median survival was 45.64 and 8.3 per 1000 person years, respectively. Transfusion volume (HR=3.12, 95% CI: 1.18～8.25; P=0.0218) was significantly associated with mortality in recipients in the multiply Cox' proportional hazard regression model. Conclusions This study suggests that more units of transfusion in recipients with known duration of HIV infection can influence time to death in recipients in China.
