Objective: To explore the association between transfusion of different allogeneic blood components and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients, to clarify the differences in thrombotic risk among various blood components, and to develop a targeted VTE risk prediction model. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, enrolling 5 406 hospitalized patients who received allogeneic blood transfusion in our hospital from November 2024 to October 2025. Using 1∶1 nearest neighbor propensity score matching (PSM), 5 402 non-transfused patients were selected as controls. The matching variables included sex, age, VTE risk score, VTE prophylaxis, comorbid tumor, use of antibiotics, and invasive mechanical ventilation, with a caliper of 0.01 and sampling without replacement. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was used to assess matching quality, with SMD<0.1 indicating balanced baseline characteristics. The transfusion group was stratified by the type of blood component transfused. The chi-square test with Bonferroni correction and multivariate logistic regression (including forced adjustment for the unbalanced variables VTE prophylaxis and antibiotic use) were used to analyze risk factors. A prediction model was constructed and validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The optimal cut-off value was determined by the maximum Youden index. Results: All variables showed SMD<0.1 after matching, indicating good baseline balance. The incidence of VTE was significantly higher in the transfusion group than in the control group (8.7% vs 4.3%, RR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.74-2.35, P<0.001). Significant differences in VTE incidence were observed among different transfusion subgroups, with a thrombotic risk gradient of combined transfusion > plasma > red blood cells ≈ platelets. The incidence of VTE in the combined transfusion subgroup was 11.7%, which was significantly higher than that in the red blood cell subgroup (RR=3.20, 95% CI: 2.41-4.24, P<0.001), plasma subgroup (RR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.24-2.35, P<0.001), and platelet subgroup (RR=6.81, 95% CI: 2.56-18.06, P<0.001). The prediction model showed good discrimination and calibration, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.800. The optimal cut-off value determined by the Youden index was 0.12, corresponding to a sensitivity of 62.3% and a negative predictive value of 91.4%. Conclusion: Allogeneic blood transfusion was an independent risk factor for VTE in hospitalized patients, with significant differences in thrombotic risk among different blood components. The prediction model developed in this study can achieve VTE risk stratification in transfused patients, providing evidence for precise transfusion therapy and patient blood management.

Objective To analyze the results of syphilis serology test among inpatients and to provide information for the control of syphilis.Methods Syphilis serology test results of inpatients from Jan.2010 to Nov.2012 in a tertiary general hospital were collected and retrospectively analyzed.The serum samples were screened by Treponema pallidum (TP) antibody enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and syphilis toluidine red unheated serum reagin test (TRUST) simultaneously.The TP-ELISA positive samples were confirmed by Treponema pallidum particle agglutination test (TPPA).Difference of measurement data was compared with analysis of variance.Results A total of 81 946 cases were collected,among which 1618 cases were positive of anti-TP.The positive rate of anti-TP was 2.27％ in the year 2010,1.58％ in 2011,and 2.11％ in 2012.For male and female patients,the positive rates of anti-TP were 2.38％ and 1.69％,respectively (x2 =48.97,P=0.00).The positive rates of anti-TP in the age groups of ≤19 years,20-39 years,40-59 years,60-79 years,and ≥80 years were 2.83％,0.94％,2.14％,2.37％,and 3.63％,respectively.The titer of TRUST was relatively lower in anti-TP positive inpatients.The anti-TP positive patients with TRUST titer ＜ 1∶8 accounted for 84.65％ in the age group of ≤19 years,79.69％ in the 20-39 years group,81.69％ in the 40-59 years group,86.12％ in the 60-79 years group,and 87.45％ in the age group of ≥80 years.The highest anti-TP positive rate (3.63％) was observed in the age group of ≥80 years with the lowest percentage (12.55 ％) of TRUST titer ≥1∶8.The lowest anti-TP positive rate (0.94％) was observed in the 20-39 years group with the highest percentage (20.31％) of TRUST titer ≥1∶8.Conclusions The characteristics of syphilis serological positivity vary depending on genders and ages.The prevention and control measures for syphilis should be strengthened,especially in the senior population.
