- Objective: To test the hypothesis that blood donor demographics are associated with transfused polytrauma patients' post-injury multiple organ failure (MOF) status. Summary of Background Data: Traumatic shock and MOF are preventable causes of death and post-traumatic hemorrhage is a frequent indication for transfusion. The role of blood donor demographics on transfusion recipients is not well known. Methods: A log-linear analysis accounting for the correlated structure of the data based on our prospective MOF database was utilized. Tests for trend and interaction were computed using a likelihood ratio procedure. Results: A total of 229 critically injured transfused trauma patients were included, with 68% of them being males and a mean age of 45 years. On average 10 units of blood components were transfused per patient. A total of 4379 units of blood components were donated by donors aged 46 years on average, 74% of whom were males. Blood components used were red blood cells (47%), cryoprecipitate (29%), fresh frozen plasma (24%), and platelets (less than 1%). Donor-recipient sex mismatched red blood cells transfusions were more likely to be associated with MOF (P = 0.0012); fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate recipients were more likely to experience MOF when transfused with a male (vs female) component (P = 0.0014 and <0.0001, respectively). Donor age was not significantly associated with MOF for all blood components. Conclusions: Blood components donor sex, but not age, may be an important factor associated with post-injury MOF. Further validation of our findings will help guide future risk mitigation strategies specific to blood donor demographics.
