10 1:1200 1:611 1:6944 1:3146 All of the following criteria were required for a diagnosis of DHTR or DSTR to be considered: 1) a new antibody identified in the patient s serum, 2) a positive DAT demonstrating the presence of IgG, 3) an eluate from the patient s RBCs demonstrated the presence of the same antibody that was identified in the serum, and 4) antigen typing of the patient s RBCs demonstrated mixed-field typing for the antigen toward which the antibody in the patient s serum and in the eluate was directed.

11 RBC Transfusion in Sickle Cell Disease 46% of the children were transfused a mean of 24 RBC products while 87% of the adults were transfused a mean number of 23 RBC products over a 10-year period Studies reported an alloimmunization rate in the range of 19 to 43% in transfused patients with SCD. One study reported an alloimmunization rate of 29% in pediatric and 47% in adult SCD patients, with more females than males being alloimmunized. The number of delayed hemolytic and/ or serologic transfusion reactions was 8% (adult) and 9% (pediatric) and the incidence of hyperhemolysis was 1.6% (adult) and 5.1% (pediatric). Shaz: Trans Med Rev 2008;22:

12 Features, evaluation and management of DHTRs in SCD Clinical symptoms Laboratory findings Acute management Occurs 6-10 d after transfusion Mimic vaso-occlusive pain episode or transfusion reaction Hemoglobinuria Decreased hemoglobin levels from pretransfusion values Close hemodynamic and laboratory monitoring Coordinate testing with laboratory Symptoms include: Reticulocytopenia Avoid transfusion Back, abdominal or extremity pain Fever Signs of worsening anemia Pallor or jaundice Dark urine Neurological signs Positive DAT/antibody screen Allo-/autoantibody detection Low post-transfusion HbA values High dose steroids or IVIG 12

13 Results of RBC alloimmunization Increased difficulty of antigen negative crossmatch compatible RBC products. Increased risk of hemolytic transfusion reactions. Increased rates of autoantibodes. 86% of SCD patients with autoantibodies have alloantibodies. Autoantibodies may result in clinically significant hemolysis and difficulty finding RBC compatible RBC products. 13

15 Prophylactic Phenotypic Matching Prophylactic phenotypic matching of nonalloimmunized SCD patients reduces the rate of alloimmunization from 30% to 7% or less. Accurate RBC phenotypes are needed for phenotype matching programs. 15

22 SCD patients: 58% chronic, 15% episodic transfused patients alloimmunized

23 Genotyping in SCD Genotyping was applied to 144 transfused SCD patients previously phenotyped for ABO, Rh (D, C,c,E, e), K1, Fy a, Jk a. There was a discrepancy in 15 of 42 alloimmunized patients between genotype and phenotype. This was secondary to phenotype mistypes due to recent transfusion. 11/15 alloimmunized previously mistyped patients benefited from antigen-matched RBCs based on genotype, as assessed by Hg levels post-transfusion and frequency of transfusion.

Motivation and barrier differences? Marketing differences? What are potential strategies to overcome these differences? 31

32 Donor Eligibility Recent mathematical models determined only 37.8% of the population is likely to be eligible to donate. This rate may be lower in African Americans. African American church: 40.2% hypertension, 32.6% high cholesterol, 21.3% anemia, 14.2% pulmonary disease, 12.5% diabetes, 11.8% sexually transmitted disease, 5.5% heart disease, 2.6% hepatitis, 2.3% epilepsy, 2.0% stroke, 1.5% sickle cell disease, 1.7% renal disease, and 6.9% other serious disease. James, Hillyer, Shaz: Transfusion 2012;52:

33 Donor Eligibility: Our Model -In 2007 to 2008, 122 million Americans (65.9% of the study population and 41.0% of the total US population) were estimated to be eligible to donate blood in the United States. -Significant differences in eligibility rates by demographic characterizers were determined (p < 0.001): * AAs (36.5%), whites (46.4%), and Hispanics (40.7%); * males (45.4%) and females (42.7%); * years old (35.8%); and years old (32.9%). James, Hillyer, Shaz: Transfusion 2012;52:

34 Donor deferral rate: whites (11.1%), Hispanics (14.1%), African Americans (17.9%); females (20.0%), males (6.2%). Shaz, James, Hillyer, Schreiber, Hillyer: Transfusion 2010;50:

35 Top Ten Donor Deferral Reasons Shaz, James, Hillyer, Schreiber, Hillyer: Transfusion 2010;50:

36 Blood Donor Status based upon the Logistic Regression Model James, Demmons, Schreiber, Hillyer, Shaz: Transfusion 2011;51:

37 Our studies demonstrate. African Americans versus whites have: lower blood donation rates than whites. higher deferral rates than whites. lower donor eligibility than whites. likely have different motivators to blood donation. fear and distrust are major deterrents to blood donation. Future studies are needed to determine optimal ways to decrease barriers to donation. 37

38 program AIMS: GOAL: Increase collection, advanced testing, and distribution of rare (antigen negative) RBC products to significantly improve the availability of more precisely matched RBC products for patients in our diverse community who require multiple blood transfusions 38

39 Stages of Change Spiral like progression through the stages. Stages Precontemplation: Not thinking about donating blood. Contemplation: Thinking about donating blood in the next 6 months. Preparation: Planning on donating blood in the next 30 days. Action/ Maintenance: Donated blood at least twice in the past year and planning on donating again when next eligible. 39

40 Motivational Interview (MI) A set of clinical strategies that encourage people to work through ambivalence about behavior change (e.g., adopting more healthy eating, engaging in regular exercise, quitting smoking, etc.) People can also be ambivalent regarding the pro-social behavior of donating blood (i.e., perceived barriers may outweigh perceived benefits). Can a post-donation interview, based on MI strategies, promote retention? Donating blood saves lives! I want to help others. But I don t like needles! But I m very busy. Ohio University Department of Psychology 40

41 Post-donation telephone interview Participants 215 experienced donors Mean age = 31.1 years (SD = 13.5) Mean prior donations = 6.8 (SD = 13.9) Randomly assigned to: 1. Treatment-as-usual control, or 2. Telephone interview (~10 min) within 1 month of index donation Ohio University Department of Psychology 41

42 Post-donation telephone interview Topic Sample #1. Introduction and permission to interview #2. Motivations for donating Can you tell me some reasons why you donated blood the last time?" #3. Donation intention "Do you plan to donate blood again? #4. Donation barriers #5. Perceived importance of donation and donation confidence #6. Personal goals and values relating to donation Sometimes people who give blood have reservations about returning. What concerns do you have about giving blood again? On a scale of 0-10, with 0 being not at all important and 10 being extremely important, how important is it for you to donate blood? 0 or 1: Tell me why you chose a 0 or 1? 2 through 9: Tell me why you chose a instead of a (# minus 2)? 10: That s great, why a 10? What do you think giving blood says about you? #7. Individualized coping strategies What are some things you might do to solve (barrier)? #8. Summarizing the interview Before we end our conversation, let me see if I can accurately summarize what we discussed. Ohio University Department of Psychology 42

46 Motivating NIH Type High-Priority, O- Blood Donors Short-Term to Return Project Award (R56) Preliminary finding: Relative to the control call, the motivational phone interview is significantly increasing donor autonomy Phone interview Control This suggests that the interview s focus on each donor s unique motivators and barriers leads to stronger internal motivation to give Upon completion of recruitment and follow-up we ll know if this effect persists and translates into more frequent re-donation behavior.

53 NEXT STEPS: MESSAGING TO ELIGIBLE AA DONORS MESSAGING STUDY: Design: Send one of 3 s, randomly selected, equally divided Control- thank you and link to scheduling next donation and online survey of experience Need for blood message- Importance for AA to donate especially to SCD patients Need for blood message + incentive- with $25 Target gift card Outcome measure: Donor return rate and lag time to donation as a function of message type. ONLINE MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEW STUDY: Design: All messages invite donors to complete an online survey. For those who choose to complete the survey, half of the recipients for each message should be directed to a motivational interview survey and the other half should be directed to a control survey (without the motivational interview component). Outcome measure: Donor return rate and lag time to donation as a function of survey type. 53
