Description
Jae Hyeon Park and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on blood safety testing before transfusion across Korea, using ten years of insurance claims. Checks include blood type matching, antibody screening, and crossmatching donor blood. Claims from 2011 to 2020 were sorted by hospital type.
The analysis covered nearly 43 million claims from over 20 million patients. Large hospitals matched national standards closely, while primary hospitals and clinics scored zero on a key typing ratio. Automated typing grew in most settings but barely in primary hospitals. For a first transfusion, 71.5 percent of primary hospital patients and 68.3 percent of clinic patients got blood after crossmatching alone, without antibody screening. The authors urge training and reform.
