Although blood donors are not routinely screened for G6PD deficiency, the transfusion of stored G6PD\u2010deficient RBCs may have serious adverse outcomes. By measuring G6PD enzyme activity of RBC units from a large metropolitan hospital transfusion service, we sought to determine 1) the prevalence of G6PD\u2010deficient RBC units, 2) if G6PD activity changes during storage, and 3) if G6PD activity in segments correlates with its activity in the bags.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:<\/jats:bold> Quantitative G6PD activity was measured in 301 randomly selected RBC units and 73 D+C\u2212E\u2212 (i.e., R<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>r or R<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>R<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>) RBC units, all stored in additive solutions. G6PD deficiency was defined as activity less than 60% of the normal mean.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> The frequency of G6PD\u2010deficient units in the general inventory was 0.3% (1\/301; 95% confidence interval [CI], &lt;0.01%\u20102.1%). In contrast, its frequency in D+C\u2212E\u2212 RBC units was 12.3% (9\/73; 95% CI, 6.4%\u201022.0%). G6PD activity did not significantly change during the 42\u2010day storage period, and G6PD activity measured in RBC storage bags and attached segments correlated well (r\u2003=\u20030.7\u20100.9, p\u2003\u2264\u20030.001, Spearman rank correlation).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:bold> Although the frequency of G6PD\u2010deficient RBC units in the transfusion service general inventory was relatively low, it was significantly higher among a subset of R<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>r or R<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>R<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub> units. The latter are preferentially allocated for transfusion to patients with sickle cell disease to decrease the risk of RBC alloimmunization, possibly allowing more of these units to be inadvertently targeted to these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2012.03765.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,28]],"date-time":"2012-06-28T04:51:14Z","timestamp":1340859074000},"page":"606-611","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Frequency of glucose\u20106\u2010phosphate dehydrogenase\u2013deficient red blood cell units in a metropolitan transfusion service"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Richard O.","family":"Francis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Jhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeanne E.","family":"Hendrickson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James C.","family":"Zimring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eldad A.","family":"Hod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven L.","family":"Spitalnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bcmd.2008.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000153143"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","first-page":"171","article-title":"The hemolytic effect of primaquine.
