Relationship between allergic transfusion reactions and allergic predisposition among pediatric patients with hematological/oncological disease. Transfusion 2022; 62:1035-1044. [PMID: 35297063 DOI: 10.1111/trf.16855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) manifest frequently as transfusion reactions, and their onset may be related to a patient's allergic predisposition. Moreover, although pediatric patients with hematological/oncological disease are more susceptible to ATRs, the relationship between allergic predisposition and ATRs remains to be fully clarified. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with pediatric hematological/oncological disease and received transfusion at the study institutions were included. We determined patient background information related to their allergy history, measured the levels of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) using sera obtained on diagnosis, and analyzed their associations with ATR onset. RESULTS Of the 363 patients analyzed, 144 developed ATRs. Multivariate analysis identified cases with high basophils in the peripheral blood, and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus- and egg white-specific IgEs were involved in the development of ATR in all age groups. Meanwhile, a history of food allergies, and positivity for Japanese cypress- and D. pteronyssinus-specific IgEs were risk factors for developing ATRs in the <5 years age group. Moreover, patients aged 5-<10 years with a history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, pollinosis, or atopic dermatitis, and those aged ≥10 years with positivity for dog dander-specific IgE were at risk for developing ATRs. CONCLUSION The allergic constitution of patients plays a role in ATR onset even in pediatric hematological/oncological diseases. Therefore, advance confirmation of a patient's allergic constitution may partly predict the onset of ATRs. However, since multiple allergic predispositions within complex mechanisms may be involved in the onset of ATRs, further verification is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present consensus statements and supporting literature for plasma and platelet product variables and related laboratory testing for transfusions in general critically ill children from the Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding. DESIGN Systematic review and consensus conference of international, multidisciplinary experts in platelet and plasma transfusion management of critically ill children. SETTING Not applicable. PATIENTS Critically ill pediatric patients at risk of bleeding and receiving plasma and/or platelet transfusions. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A panel of 10 experts developed evidence-based and, when evidence was insufficient, expert-based statements for laboratory testing and blood product attributes for platelet and plasma transfusions. These statements were reviewed and ratified by the 29 Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative - Control/Avoidance of Bleeding experts. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases, from inception to December 2020. Consensus was obtained using the Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Method. Results were summarized using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation method. We developed five expert consensus statements and two recommendations in answer to two questions: what laboratory tests and physiologic triggers should guide the decision to administer a platelet or plasma transfusion in critically ill children; and what product attributes are optimal to guide specific product selection? CONCLUSIONS The Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding program provides some guidance and expert consensus for the laboratory and blood product attributes used for decision-making for plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill pediatric patients.

Yanagisawa R. Preventing adverse reactions in pediatric transfusions using washed platelet concentrate. Pediatr Int 2021; 63:391-403. [PMID: 33290634 DOI: 10.1111/ped.14572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Blood transfusion is an important form of supportive care in children; however, transfusion-associated adverse reactions (TARs) are a problem. As with adults, allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) and febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) are major TARs, and the frequency of ATRs caused by platelet concentrate (PC) tends to be particularly high. The plasma component of the blood product is thought to be a major factor in the onset of TARs such as ATR and FNHTR. By contrast, in children, age, underlying disease, and number of blood transfusions may be relevant patient-related factors. Although acetaminophen or diphenhydramine may be used prophylactically to prevent TARs, there is no clear evidence of their effectiveness. Volume-reduced PC is used to prevent TARs; however, it may be difficult to maintain the quality of platelets. Plasma-replaced PC stored with platelet additive solution raises the concern that TARs cannot be completely prevented by residual plasma. Washed PC removes most of the plasma, so it can effectively prevent ATR and FNHTR. The recent development of platelet additive solution [M-sol, bicarbonate Ringer's solution supplemented with acid-citrate-dextrose formula A (BRS-A)] in Japan has enabled the maintenance of the quality of platelets for long periods. The clinical use of washed PC in Japan has therefore progressed. Washed PC with M-sol or BRS-A for pediatric patients can effectively prevent TARs without diminishing the transfusion effect. The supply of washed PC has begun from the Japanese Red Cross Society, and it has become possible to use washed PC at all medical institutions in Japan.

Transfusion outcome for volume- and plasma-reduced platelet concentrates for pediatric patients. Transfus Apher Sci 2020; 59:102776. [PMID: 32561112 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2020.102776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Plasma reduction in platelet concentrate (PC) products has been reported to prevent large volume load and transfusion-related adverse reactions (TRARs). However, volume reduction might be associated with a poor transfusion response because of a deterioration in platelet (PLT) quality. Because PLT quality control and transfusion responses for recently washed PCs using PLT additive solutions are superior, we investigated the clinical safety and transfusion efficacy of volume-reduced washed PCs in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prepared a simplified resuspended PC product (RPC) as a washed PC. Regular RPC (R-RPC) included equivalent volumes of bicarbonate Ringer's solution and anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (BRS-A) as the resuspension solution. Half RPC (H-RPC) was prepared by adding a half volume of BRS-A. Twenty-four pediatric patients were scheduled for transfusions with R-RPC and H-RPC up to 4 times. R-RPC was transfused 42 times into 24 patients. H-RPC was transfused 41 times into 23 patients. RESULTS Neither product was observed to cause TRARs. Although the calculated PLT recovery for H-RPC was significantly reduced, the posttransfusion corrected count increment (24 h) did not differ. Moreover, similar results were observed for vital signs during transfusion. CONCLUSION Volume-reduced washed PC can be transfused without causing TRARs, differences in vital signs, or inferior transfusion responses. Volume-reduced washed PC also provides the advantages of shortened transfusion times and reduced volume loads. Although a standard technique for stable resuspension is necessary, volume-reduced washed PC may be a beneficial option for children, including neonates, or individuals with cardiovascular or renal problems.

Investigation of factors associated with allergic transfusion reaction due to platelet transfusion and the efficacy of platelets resuspended in BRS-A in adult patients. Transfusion 2019; 59:3405-3412. [PMID: 31532542 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2019] [Revised: 08/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) resulting from platelet concentrate (PC) are a common adverse reaction, the mechanism underlying ATRs has not been fully elucidated. Plasma-replaced PC suspended in bicarbonate Ringer's solution and anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (RPC-B) is effective for preventing ATRs in children in Japan; however, there is not enough evidence in adult populations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis focused on factors associated with ATRs developing from PC transfusions in adult patients in a single institution between 2015 and 2018. The clinical efficacy of RPC-B for adult patients was also analyzed. RESULTS In total, 4,677 untreated regular PC products in plasma were transfused into 914 patients. ATRs developed in 65 patients (7.1%) treated with 92 PC products (2.0%). Multivariate analysis revealed that patients who were elderly, diagnosed with a non-hematological disease, and who received a transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma and red blood cell concentrate products together with PC products had lower frequencies of ATRs. Although 40 patients received 490 RPC-B transfusions, six ATRs (1.2%) were confirmed in five patients (12.5%). The ATR frequency was not significantly lower in the analysis of all patients; however, ATRs in patients with hematological diseases were lower in terms of both the patient and product numbers. Corrected count increments (24 hr) were also within an acceptable range in patients with hematological diseases. CONCLUSION Several patient-specific factors may be associated with the development of ATRs from PC transfusion. Because RPC-B appears to efficiently prevent ATRs, even in adult patients, safe and efficient transfusions may be performed by using RPC-B preferentially depending on the patient's risk factors.
