Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to establish a comprehensive human erythrocyte antigen (HEA) frequency data set for Koreans. It also sought to develop a mobile app that facilitates the calculation of the frequencies of specific antigen-negative red blood cell units and the average number of units required for antigen typing.

Methods: Human erythrocyte antigen frequencies were compiled from large-scale blood donor data and 5 previous papers. Based on the collected data, we developed a mobile calculator app for HEA frequency and evaluated its usability.

Results: Human erythrocyte antigen frequency data for 20 blood group systems, including the ABO, Rh, MNS, Duffy, Kidd, and Diego systems, were established. The app was designed to enable users to select the desired phenotype from a drop-down menu and display the calculated frequency at the bottom. The number of units required for antigen typing to find 1 compatible red blood cell unit was also displayed. Five users participated in app evaluation and rated the functionality and information categories highly. In quizzes prompting users to calculate frequencies using the app, all participants provided correct answers, confirming the app's user-friendly functionality.

Conclusions: This app, which encompasses comprehensive HEA frequency data, is expected to find multiple uses in transfusion medicine, including optimizing blood bank workflow and defining rare blood groups in Korea.

用于估算韩国人类红细胞抗原频率的移动计算器应用程序。

研究目的本研究旨在为韩国人建立一个全面的人类红细胞抗原（HEA）频率数据集。方法：从大规模献血者数据和之前的 5 篇论文中整理出人类红细胞抗原频率。根据收集到的数据，我们开发了一个 HEA 频率移动计算器应用程序，并对其可用性进行了评估：结果：建立了 20 个血型系统的人类红细胞抗原频率数据，包括 ABO、Rh、MNS、Duffy、Kidd 和 Diego 系统。该应用程序的设计使用户能够从下拉菜单中选择所需的表型，并在底部显示计算出的频率。同时还显示抗原配型找到 1 个相合红细胞所需的单位数。五名用户参与了应用程序评估，并对其功能和信息类别给予了高度评价。在提示用户使用该应用程序计算频率的测验中，所有参与者都提供了正确答案，证实了该应用程序的用户友好功能：结论：该应用程序包含全面的 HEA 频率数据，有望在输血医学中找到多种用途，包括优化血库工作流程和定义韩国稀有血型。
