Here, we analyze and evaluate the reported TAEs over ten years in the\nblood transfusion center of Sfax (Tunisia).\nMethods: This is a ten-year (2012-2021) descriptive and exhaustive report on TAE from the second\nlargest blood center in Tunisia, where around 56,000 labile blood products are issued annually.\nResults: Four-hundred-sixty-four TAEs were reported. The median age of the patients was 38 years (1\nmonth to 94 years). The sex ratio was 0.68. The overall TAE annual incidence per issued labile\nblood product was 0.77\u2030 and ranged from 0.47 to 1.43\u2030. The most common TAE was a\nfebrile non-hemolytic reaction (31.7%), followed by an allergic reaction (21.6%). The severity\ndegree was informed in 433 cases (93.3%). Grade 1 severity was the most common (80.8%),\nfollowed by grades 3, 2 and 4 (10.6%, 1.3% and 0.6%, respectively). Packed red blood cells\nwere the most implicated labile blood product (81.5%). Standard platelet concentrates and fresh\nfrozen plasma accounted for 6.5% and 5% of the total adverse transfusion reactions,\nrespectively.\nConclusion: The TAE incidence in our study seems to be underestimated compared to worldwide reported TAEs.\nThe analysis of reported TAEs in our context illustrates the insufficiency of the regulation's\nimplementation alone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.62438\/tunismed.v103i2.5445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,16]],"date-time":"2025-12-16T17:26:26Z","timestamp":1765905986000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A ten-year hemovigilance report in the regional blood transfusion center of Sfax (Tunisia)"],"prefix":"10.62438","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Taicir","family":"Rekik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sana","family":"Cherif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nour","family":"Louati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Maaloul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jalel","family":"Gargouri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9la","family":"Menif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ikram","family":"Ben Amor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"31112","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,1]]},"container-title":["La Tunisie M\u00e9dicale"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,16]],"date-time":"2025-12-16T17:26:27Z","timestamp":1765905987000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/latunisiemedicale.com\/index.php\/tunismed\/article\/view\/5445"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.62438\/tunismed.v103i2.5445","relation":{},"ISSN":["2724-7031","0041-4131"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2724-7031","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0041-4131","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,1]]}}}
