Abstract:
Objective To investigate the infection status of HCV in remunerated blood donors and risk factors in Jiangsu province.Methods A Cross-sectional study was conducted among people aged ＞50 years.Questionnaires were used to collect the information about their demographic characteristics and risk behaviors,and venous blood samples were collected from them to detect HCV anti-body,HCV-RNA and other biochemical indicators.EpiData and Stata were used for data entry and statistical analysis.Results The overall HCV sero-prevalence rates were 22.55％ and 61.05％ among remunerated blood donors.Data firom multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (adjusted OR=1.38,95％CI:1.18-1.62) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (adjusted OR=l.30,95％CI:1.10-1.54) were associated with the outcomes of HCV infection,and fasting plasma glucose (adjusted OR=1.17,95％CI:1.01-1.35) were associated with HCV RNA viral loads.Conclusion The prevalence of HCV infection in remunerated blood donors was high,clinical ALT,AST and fasting plasma glucose levels were associated with the risk for HCV infection and HCV RNA viral load.
