Each participant\u2019s blood sample was screened for most transfusion-transmissible infections using antigen\/antibody tests, while rapid diagnostic test and microscopy were used for malaria screening and confirmation. In addition, the cost screening of transfusion-transmissible infections was calculated using activity-based costing method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The overall seropositivity of transfusion-transmissible infections was 7.0% and the positivity rate of hepatitis B virus, syphilis, and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic>\n                      was 5.6%, 1.0%, and 0.5%, respectively. The cost per test of each transfusion-transmissible infection was US$5.04 for human immunodeficiency virus, US$4.61 for hepatitis B virus, US$5.11 for hepatitis C virus, and US$4.75 for syphilis, while the cost per test of malaria rapid diagnostic test was US$4.74 and this is comparatively lower than the cost per test of other transfusion-transmissible infections except for hepatitis B virus. In addition, total cost of laboratory incurred for transfusion-transmissible infections screening is estimated to be US$213,634.5 per year, while it becomes US$265,537.5 if the malaria screening cost is added. This means 19.54% of the total cost of laboratory incurred per year or US$51,903.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The positivity rate of malaria parasites among voluntary blood donors was 0.5%, and it might be increased if the study was conducted in high transmission seasons. A cost of malaria screening is comparatively lower than costs of other transfusion-transmissible infections except for hepatitis B virus. Therefore, the screening of malaria parasites should be considered as one of the test menus of transfusion-transmissible infections in blood banks, especially in malaria-endemic areas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050312120936930","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]],"date-time":"2020-06-30T03:40:33Z","timestamp":1593488433000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Blood transfusion-transmissible malaria and its cost analysis in Hawassa regional blood bank, Southern Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5034-618X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seblewongel","family":"Tsehay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, College of Medicine and Health Science, Hawassa University, Hawassa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatuma","family":"Hassen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agete Tadewos","family":"Hirigo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Medicine and Health Science, Faculty of Medicine, Hawassa University, Hawassa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zinegnaw","family":"Abiy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Business and Economics, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kassu","family":"Desta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tmrv.2005.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1423-0410.2006.00733.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","volume-title":"National standards for blood transfusion service","author":"World Health Organization (WHO)","year":"2013","unstructured":"World Health Organization (WHO).
