Kidney transplant, a life-saving procedure, involves surgically replacing a diseased or non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a living or deceased donor. It's the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Critical aspects include donor compatibility, immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection, and lifelong post-transplant care to ensure kidney function and overall well-being. Successful kidney transplants significantly improve patients' quality of life, but they require meticulous evaluation, surgery, and ongoing medical management.
Advanced Lab Analytics for Patient Blood Management ProgramsViewics
Reports indicate that 30 – 70% of blood transfusions are inappropriate. Inappropriate blood transfusions put patients at increased risk of post-surgical infections, multi-system organ failure, longer hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. The transfusion guidelines most clinicians learned in their training are now outdated. As such, blood transfusion practices vary widely, and overutilization remains a major quality and cost problem.
Patient Blood Management (PBM) programs are designed to optimize the use of transfusions through a team-based approach, evidence-based guidelines, and algorithms that together guide decisions regarding specifically which patients and clinical procedures warrant blood products, and how much to transfuse. PBM programs have been quite successful in improving patient morbidity and mortality outcomes and generating millions of dollars in savings for hospitals.
Laboratory analytics can be an effective means of instituting restrictive transfusion programs, and advanced lab analytics can be critical in implementing PBM programs, as lab testing and tracking blood usage is central to decision making, changing behavior, and improving performance.
Watch a presentation by Dr. Eleanor Herriman, Chief Medical Informatics Officer at Viewics. She unveils a new suite of advanced analytics tools that support PBS and other restrictive blood management programs, enabling health systems to better leverage their valuable lab medicine assets and fully integrate this key service line into these programs.
You’ll learn:
• How inappropriate blood transfusions are burdening our healthcare system, and the need for better utilization management tools
• New guidelines restricting red blood cell transfusions
• The role of advanced lab analytics in PBM programs
• How Viewics is leveraging advanced lab analytics to help health systems more easily and cost-effectively implement PBM programs
Revolutionizing Renal Care With Predictive Analytics for CKDViewics
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common and growing condition, affecting about half of the Medicare population and of diabetics. In the United States, the lifetime risk of CKD for 30-year-olds is now greater than half, and the prevalence of CKD is projected to rise significantly over the next 15 years.
Current methods of predicting which CKD patients will progress to renal failure and require dialysis or transplant have low accuracy rates, causing great anxiety and suboptimal care. Without accurate risk prediction, many patients are over-treated, effectively wasting limited resources and negatively impacting outcomes. Conversely, other patients may receive inadequate treatment, restricting options to only the most costly and least desirable interventions.
Watch this on-demand webinar with Dr. Navdeep Tangri, developer of the Kidney Failure Risk Equation, which revolutionizes the way CKD patients are managed by leveraging laboratory data to accurately predict the risk of kidney failure in patients with CKD.
You’ll learn:
• How CKD is burdening our healthcare system, and the need for better care management tools
• How the Kidney Failure Risk Equation was researched, developed, and validated
• How Viewics is implementing CKD predictive analytics to automatically deliver risk information to clinicians and issue customized, educational reports to patients and clinicians

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

1. Blood donor selection and deferral
pattern as an important tool for blood
safety in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Manisha Shrivastava, Nehal Shah, Seema Navaid, Kalpana
Agarwal, and Gourav Sharma
Department of Transfusion Medicine, Bhopal Memorial Hospital and
Research Centre, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
Presenter: Dr Sowmya Srinivas
2. INTRODUCTION
• In Blood banking, blood safety has received a major attention from the point
of view of transfusion-transmitted infections.
• For ensuring blood safety, blood donor selection criteria and deferral criteria
acts as an important, effective and economical tool.
• The process of donor selection is based on criteria of subjecting them to-
- Questionnaire
- Physical examination
- Hemoglobin estimation
3. • Only those who meet all the requirements qualify as blood donors.
• Also there is a need to defer the blood donors to protect the recipients from
getting TTIs.
• The criteria for blood donor selection and deferral in India are provided by
the Drugs and Cosmetic Act 1940 supplemented by the Standards for Blood
Banks and Blood Transfusion Services.
4. • The process involves legal, ethical, political, and psychological considerations.
• It also influences donor demographics and leads to specific deferral patterns.
5. AIM OF THE STUDY
• To evaluate and analyze the blood donor deferral pattern and its causes
among blood donors in a tertiary care hospital blood bank.
• Also to review its influence on policy for recruitment and retention of blood
donors.
6. SETTINGS AND DESIGN
• Hospital based blood bank.
• Retrospective analysis for a period of 13years.(2001-2013)
7. METHODOLOGY
• SUBJECTS: Potential donors presenting themselves at the hospital blood
bank and deferred due to temporary or permanent donor deferral criteria.
• DURATION: 2001 to 2013
• For the collection of whole blood, the standard operating procedure(SOP)
followed.
8. Since its retrospective, Deferral record available was analyzed
Donors – subjected to questionnaire
Haemoglobin estimation
Physical Examination
After which donors were deferred
Reasons for deferral were classified under categories-
1) Replacement-Voluntary blood donors
2) Gender – based (male - female)
3) Various age groups
9. • Donors were categorised into four categories for analysis based on reasons
for deferral-
1) Category 1 – Whose own health might be affected by donating blood.
2) Category 2 – Risk of transmitting TTIs.
3) Category 3 - Donors with a condition where transmissibility by blood is
unknown or with diseases/condition not suitable for blood donation.
4) Category 4 – Sensitive physical and social considerations.
10. RESULTS
• The deferral rates according to the categories of the deferred donors and the
reason for deferral were evaluated.
• A total of 53,480 blood donors were registered for blood donation during
the study period.
• The analysis is as follows-
16. *Typhoid, lung disease/tuberculosis, epilepsy/psychiatric problem, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, endocrine diseases,
and kidney disease.
**Menstrual problems, alcohol, underage, high-risk group, overage, H/o previous blood donation reaction, and dog
bite/vaccination
17. DISCUSSION
• Donor deferral criteria will be different in specific geographic areas.
• It is important to bring back the donors deferred due to temporary causes of
deferral .
• Low Haemoglobin level is the most important cause of deferral in most
studies and in this study too.
• Hence combining anaemia prevention and treatment in donor recruitment
could help regain the donors and develop a healthy blood donor pool.
18. • According to a study conducted in our Blood bank (JSS Hospital Blood
Bank, Mysore) by Bobati. et al., the most common reason for deferral was
low Hb levels accounting to 25.3%, highest in female population.
• The other leading causes in order of frequency were alcohol consumption
within 72 h, hypertension and elevated Hb levels accounting to 158 (21%),
106 (14%), and 47 (6%), respectively, seen exclusively in males.
19.
20. • A structured questionnaire is an important prerequisite for safe donor
recruitment and if carried out as a uniform policy may even affect the
prevalence data as donors with transfusion transmitted infections.
• Hence the deferral pattern need to be assessed in different regions for
- recommending revisions in donor selection criteria.
- planning strategies for re-entry of donors deferred temporarily.
21. • Hence raising general awareness for blood donation and encouraging related
donors to become regular donors may help increase the number of voluntary
donations.
• The analysis of the pattern of deferral and interventions to bring back
deferred donors when possible could be a strategy for long-term retention
of motivated blood donors.
22. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
• A standardised questionnaire for donor selection in a specific area is
important after analysing the causes of donor deferral.
• It reduces the prevalence data of donors with TTIs even before the donation
of blood.
• The value of determining donor deferral pattern is in calling back donors
deferred due to temporary reasons and can help retain pool of motivated
blood donors.
23. STRENGTHS OF THE STUDY
• A large sample size is taken and the study is analysed based on the data of 13
years.
• A standardized questionnaire is followed for donor selection – minimises
TTIs.
• The donors are categorised based on the deferral criteria and reasons for
deferral for better understanding.
24. WEAKNESS OF THE STUDY
• It’s a retrospective study. The data is retrieved from the deferral records –
chances of bias during data entry and data collection.
• The deferral records so obtained from the study cannot be generalised since
the study is undergone in a specific geographic area.
