Abstract

Background: This study determined the trends of transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs) among blood donors in a regional hospital in Ghana from 2017 to 2022.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 6339 blood donor records. Data were analyzed using STATA version 17.0 at the 0.05 significance level.

Results: The prevalence of TTIs was 31.4% in 2017, 13.8% in 2018, 20.4% in 2019, 9.5% in 2020, 9.6% in 2021, and 11.7% in 2022. There were significant associations between hepatitis C virus (HCV), Syphilis, and sex (OR = 2.06; 95% CI [1.29-3.30]; P = .003) and (OR = 2.28; 95% CI [1.48-3.54]; P < .001), respectively. Blood donors aged 20-29 were more likely to be infected with hepatitis B virus (OR = 1.96; 95% CI [1.28-2.99]; P = .002). Blood donors aged 40-49 had higher odds of infection with HCV (OR = 3.36; 95% CI [2.02-5.57]; P < .001) and Syphilis (OR = 3.79; 95% CI [2.45-5.87]; P < .001).

Conclusion: The study highlights the need to implement targeted prevention strategies for donors with a higher TTI prevalence.

加纳一家地区医院献血者中的输血传播性传染病：6年趋势分析（2017-2022年）》。

背景：本研究确定了2017年至2022年加纳一家地区医院献血者中输血传播感染（TTIs）的趋势：对 6339 份献血者记录进行了回顾性分析。数据采用 STATA 17.0 版进行分析，显著性水平为 0.05：2017年TTI的患病率为31.4%，2018年为13.8%，2019年为20.4%，2020年为9.5%，2021年为9.6%，2022年为11.7%。丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）、梅毒与性别（OR = 2.06；95% CI [1.29-3.30]；P = .003）和（OR = 2.28；95% CI [1.48-3.54]；P P = .002）之间存在明显关联。40-49 岁献血者感染 HCV 的几率更高（OR = 3.36；95% CI [2.02-5.57]；P P 结论：本研究强调了对 TTI 感染率较高的献血者实施有针对性的预防策略的必要性。
