Data were collected on platelet or plasma transfusions and ATRs during 2020 to 2024. Consecutive patients receiving platelet or plasma transfusions were included.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Patients with blood type O who received B or AB units and patients with blood type O who received O units (reference group) in AGS high- and low-prevalence clusters were compared.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n Before data collection, the hypothesis was that if transfusion-related alpha-gal syndrome (TRAGS) is a true clinical entity, excess ATRs to group B or AB units would be detected in AGS high-prevalence regions exclusively. The main measure was the overall risk ratio (RR) for ATRs to B or AB plasma or platelets in AGS high- vs low-prevalence clusters.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In total, 558\u202f823 platelet and plasma transfusions at 40 sites in 5 countries were analyzed, of which ATRs occurred in 1744 transfusions (0.3%). In the US AGS high-prevalence cluster (9 sites), significantly more ATRs of any severity occurred among patients with blood type O who received B or AB units vs patients with blood type O who received O units (overall RR, 3.93; 95% CI, 2.96-5.21;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). In contrast, in the primary analysis of the AGS low-prevalence cluster (15 sites), excess ATRs to B or AB units were not detected. In subgroup analyses among patients with blood type O receiving B units, the RR for moderate to severe ATRs was 9.14 (95% CI, 5.39-15.52;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) in the AGS high-prevalence cluster vs 2.15 (95% CI, 1.34-3.47;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.002) in the AGS low-prevalence cluster. Outside the US, a signal consistent with TRAGS was not detected.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n This cohort study provides provocative epidemiologic evidence that TRAGS may be a unique manifestation of AGS and a previously unrecognized risk associated with transfusion. In AGS high-prevalence regions, blood collectors and hospital transfusion services should consider approaches to preventing severe ATRs from B or AB plasma or platelet units.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2026.3983","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T15:43:06Z","timestamp":1787586186000},"page":"1202","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Epidemiologic Study of Transfusion-Related Alpha-Gal Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"186","author":[{"given":"Richard M.","family":"Kaufman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne G.","family":"Hoen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenna","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.
