Pilot study to understand and compare challenges being faced in reporting of transfusion reactions in various types of blood banks enrolled under Haemovigilance Programme of India.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHemovigilance has become one of the important quality check systems of blood transfusion process, but under/non-reporting of transfusion-associated adverse reactions despite the presence of reporting systems emphasize the need to understand the challenges being faced in active reporting of adverse transfusion reactions.
aimTo identify and document the possible factors leading to under-reporting and impacting the quality of blood transfusion reactions being submitted under Haemovigilance Programme of India (HvPI). SETTINGS AND
designThis was a cross-sectional, observational type study, carried out in six blood banks, two each of government, private, and stand-alone sectors in Delhi National Capital Region enrolled under HvPI. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was carried out for a period of 6 months with a-month residence in each blood bank. During this period, data related to adverse transfusion reactions and their reporting were collected using a designed data collecting form and a validated questionnaire from all the six blood banks. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: MS Excel Ver. 2007 was used for compilation and descriptive analysis of collected data, and SPSS Ver. 25.0 was used for determining the Cronbach's alpha for the questionnaire which was statistically significant (α > 0.7).
resultsIn a period of 6 months, a total of 5136 blood products were issued from these blood banks along with 5136 reaction reporting forms, but only 515 transfusion reaction report forms were returned to these blood banks. It was found that each blood bank faces some challenges with respect to identifying and reporting adverse transfusion reactions.
conclusionAddressing the gaps identified during this study will result in robust hemovigilance system in our country and having reliability of data being reported under HvPI.
