Objective: To analyze the time-related factors influencing daily blood donation attendance at fixed donation sites in Nanjing and the heterogeneity among sites, and to provide evidence for optimizing site layout and operational management. Methods: Based on daily attendance data from 17 fixed donation sites in Nanjing for the full year of 2025, matched with contemporaneous meteorological and air quality data, a two-stage negative binomial generalized linear mixed model (NB-GLMM) was constructed. In the second stage, site-level static characteristics (number of scenic spots, daily operating hours, number of shopping malls, public transport stops, hospitals, universities, and residential buildings) were additionally incorporated. Model comparison was performed using Akaike information criterion (AIC). Significance of random effects was tested by likelihood ratio test, and site-specific random effects were extracted using empirical Bayes estimation. Robustness of the results was verified through residual diagnostics and multiple sensitivity analyses. Results: The first-stage model showed that rainfall was associated with lower attendance (IRR=0.943, P<0.001); holidays were associated with higher attendance (IRR=1.162, P<0.001); Saturdays and Sundays showed higher attendance than Mondays, with the strongest association on Sundays (IRR=1.195, P<0.001). Temperature exhibited a non-linear relationship (linear term P=0.051, quadratic term P=0.036). The joint results of the linear and quadratic terms for temperature suggested a nonlinear relationship between attendance and temperature. After introducing static characteristics in the second stage, the number of scenic spots (IRR=1.372, P=0.008) and daily operating hours (IRR=1.823, P<0.001) were found to be positively associated with attendance, while the numbers of shopping malls, public transport stops, hospitals, universities, and residential buildings showed no significant effects. Conclusion: Daily blood donation attendance at fixed sites in Nanjing is influenced by multiple factors including weather, day of the week, holidays, and site surroundings. Substantial heterogeneity exists among different sites; extended operating hours and more nearby scenic spots are associated with increased attendance.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of re-entry for blood donors deferred for single-reagent reactive anti-TP ELISA results, to assess the ability of ELISA S/CO values of different kits to discriminate true-from false-positive samples and to determine the optimal cutoff value for each kit, thereby providing a scientific basis for improving blood donor reentry strategies. Methods: Data of two donor cohorts were retrospectively collected: (1) a re-entry cohort of 106 donors who applied for re-entry at Jiangsu Province Blood Center from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2025, all previously deferred for single-reagent reactive anti-TP ELISA results (58 reactive with the Xinchuang kit and 48 with the Kehua kit); (2) a routine screening confirmation cohort of 39 donors found to be single-reagent reactive in routine donation screening and additionally tested by TPPA between April 2024 and June 2026 (17 Xinchuang and 22 Kehua). Using TPPA results as the gold standard, the two cohorts were pooled (75 Xinchuang, 70 Kehua), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed separately for each kit. The 95% confidence interval (CI) of the area under the curve (AUC) was estimated with 2 000 bootstrap replicates, and the optimal S/CO cutoff of each kit was determined by the maximum Youden index; sensitivity analysis was performed by cohort source. In addition, TPPA-confirmed positivity rates were compared between single-and dual-reagent reactive samples at re-entry testing. Results: Of the 106 donors in the re-entry cohort, 73 were successfully requalified and 33 failed. The mean S/CO value at deferral testing in successfully requalified donors was 1.930 (median 1.570), significantly lower than 3.487 (median 2.592) in failed donors (P<0.001). Among the 33 donors who failed requalification, 16 samples were TPPA positive; at re-entry testing, 7 were dual-reagent reactive (6 TPPA positive), 25 remained single-reagent reactive (9 TPPA positive), and 1 was ELISA non-reactive (TPPA positive). The TPPA positivity rate of dual-reagent reactive samples at re-entry testing was 85.7% (6/7), significantly higher than 36.0% (9/25) of single-reagent reactive samples (P=0.033); the agreement between the two kits at re-entry testing was poor (Kappa=0.231). ROC analysis of pooled samples showed that for the Xinchuang kit (n=75, 14 TPPA positive), the AUC was 0.837 (95%CI:0.731-0.929) with an optimal cutoff of 2.025, corresponding to a sensitivity of 92.9% (13/14), a specificity of 65.6% (40/61) and a negative predictive value of 97.6% (40/41); for the Kehua kit (n=70, 13 TPPA positive), the AUC was 0.787 (95%CI:0.649-0.900) with an optimal cutoff of 1.733, corresponding to a sensitivity of 92.3% (12/13), a specificity of 56.1% (32/57) and a negative predictive value of 97.0% (32/33). Sensitivity analysis by cohort showed that the AUCs calculated separately for the re-entry and screening cohorts were consistent in direction with the pooled analysis. Conclusion: S/CO values of both the Xinchuang and Kehua ELISA kits can discriminate TPPA-confirmed true from false positives, but their optimal cutoffs differ. Dual-reagent reactivity at re-entry testing strongly indicates TPPA-confirmed positivity; the TPPA positivity rate of single-reagent reactive samples increases in a gradient with rising S/CO values, and single-reagent reactive samples with low S/CO values are mostly false positives. Incorporating kit-specific stratified management based on quantitative S/CO thresholds into the re-entry mechanism may help establish a fast-track re-entry pathway for low-risk false-positive donors.

Whole blood transfusion for the resuscitation of trauma patients is not a new concept, with its history dating back to World War I. Due to the significant survival benefits of early intervention with whole blood, an increasing number of countries and regions are using whole blood for pre-hospital resuscitation of patients with traumatic haemorrhage. Whole blood containing low-titer anti-A and anti-B antibodies is known as low-titer group O whole blood. The safety of transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood has been proven in military and local trauma centers in some countries. The use of low-titer group O whole blood for pre-hospital trauma care in China will pose new challenges to blood stations that provide whole blood. This paper reviews the selection of group O donors, the setting of anti-A and anti-B titers threshold and their detection, as well as the collection, preparation and storage of whole blood.

Objective:To analyze the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening status and the resulting residual risk (RR) among blood donors across 17 provincial blood centers in China.Methods:This study used a cross-sectional study. Data on HIV infection markers per 100 000 first-time donors (FD) and repeat donors (RD) from January 2015 to December 2024 were extracted from the National Blood Establishment Performance Comparison Information Management System. Questionnaires were used to collect each center′s HIV screening strategy, algorithm, serological test (ST) kit manufacturers, gray-zone setting for ST, and nucleic acid test (NAT) modality, method, and platform. The incidence-window-period model was used to calculate the residual risk for first-time donors (RR FD), repeat donors (RR RD), and total donors (RR TD) at each center. Horizontal and vertical analysis of RR FD, RR RD, and RR TD across centers and years were performed. Results:All 17 centers applied the same HIV screening strategy which was two rounds of ST followed by one round of NAT. Eight of them operated a single screening algorithm, six employed two algorithms and three used three. Eleven centers used both imported and domestic ST kits, five relied on domestic ST kits only, and one used imported ST kits only, while four centers never set a grey zone for ST throughout the decade. For NAT modalities, eight centers adopted both individual nucleic acid test (ID-NAT) and minipool nucleic acid test (MP-NAT), eight used MP-NAT only and one used ID-NAT only. Seven centers combined transcription mediated amplification (TMA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nine used PCR only and one used TMA only, and fourteen centers ran both imported and domestic NAT systems, two used imported systems only and one used a domestic system only. Over the ten-year period, the mean RR FD across the centers ranged from 2.22 to 12.33 per 10 6 person-years, RR RD from 0.83 to 3.29 per 10 6 person-years and RR TD from 1.59 to 9.29 per 10 6 person-years, with center Z4 consistently showing the lowest values for all three metrics and center U4 recording the highest RR FD and RR TD, while center D2 had the highest RR RD. In 2024 compared with 2015, eleven centers achieved a lower RR FD and ten centers achieved lower RR RD and RR TD. The RR FD and RR TD of centers W2 and U4 displayed pronounced fluctuations and an upward trend in recent years. Conclusions:The 17 provincial blood centers maintain consistent HIV screening strategies, while demonstrating variations in screening algorithm, ST kit manufacturers, NAT modalities, methods, and platform. And the RR FD, RR RD, and RR TD differ across centers. Although most centers show declining trend in RR over the ten-year period, some centers exhibite data fluctuations with a rising trend, suggesting potential for further optimization of HIV screening protocols.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of IgM anti-A/B titers among group O whole blood donors in Jiangsu, establish a low-titer threshold, and analyze the demographic characteristics of low-titer donors, so as to provide data for recruiting low-titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) donors. Methods: Plasma samples from 1 009 group O whole blood donors were tested for IgM anti-A and anti-B titers using the microplate technique. The distribution of antibody titers was analyzed to establish a low-titer threshold. The distribution trends of titers across different demographic groups were also analyzed. Results: The peak titer for anti-A, anti-B were 64 (31.5%), 4 (23.8%), respectively, The proportion of donors with both anti-A and anti-B titers below 64 was 97.3% (982/1 009). The mean anti-A titer was higher than anti-B titer. Anti-A titers were higher in female donors than in male donors (P<0.05). The anti-A titers differed significantly among different age groups (P<0.05). However, no significant difference in titers was observed based on the number of donations (P>0.05). Conclusion: A titer of 64 can be used as the reference threshold of LTOWB in Jiangsu. Male donors of appropriate age are more suitable than female donors for establishing an emergency panel of LTOWB mobile donors.
