				 Objective: Rh blood type antibody specificities of transfused patients in the Sichuan area of China were analyzed to reduce immune haemolytic transfusion reactions and improve the safety of clinical blood transfusion.  Methods: The micro-column gel method was introduced to screen irregular antibodies in patient blood samples between June 2015 and June 2006 in our hospital. The antibody specificities of antibody-positive samples were identified, and the type and proportion of antibodies were analyzed.   Results: A total of 130,866 samples of transfused patients were tested. The number of irregular antibody-positive cases was 1127 (positive rate=0.86% [1127/130,866]). The number of specific antibody cases was 576 (positive rate=51.11% [576/1127]). Among the positive cases, Rh type antibodies were shared in 78.29% of patients (451/576) and the number of anti-E cases was.. View More»
