A significant debate persists within the scientific community regarding the optimal strategy to mitigate this risk: the traditional, pragmatic approach of serologic phenotyping versus molecular genotyping, which is technically superior yet more resource\u2010intensive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This mini\u2010review aims to map the framework of this scientific debate and synthesize current evidence through a dual methodology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Materials<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A scientometric analysis was conducted on 224 articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science using the\n                      <jats:italic>Bibliometrix<\/jats:italic>\n                      package for R, followed by a structured narrative review of 26 selected studies.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The scientometric findings confirm growing interest in this topic, identifying two distinct yet interconnected research clusters that reflect the ongoing dialectic between phenotyping and genotyping, with the latter emerging as a \u2018hot topic\u2019 over the past decade. The narrative synthesis highlights a predominance of evidence supporting genotyping as the most accurate approach to preventing alloimmunisation, particularly given the high prevalence of RH system variants in individuals with SCD. In contrast, cost\u2010effectiveness analyses and implementation studies underscore substantial financial and logistical barriers that favour a more pragmatic, stepwise approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conclude that the future of transfusion safety in SCD does not lie in a binary choice but rather in a synergistic and stratified integration of both strategies.
