Objective To systematically review the characteristics of adverse transfusion reaction in Grade Three Class-A hospitals in China, and to provide scientific evidence for related control and prevention work. Methods Such databases as the PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2014), CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data and CBM were searched for studies investigating the characteristics of adverse transfusion reaction with ≥6 months observation time in Grade Three Class-A hospitals in China up to November 2014. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using the R 3.1.1 software. Results Seventy-two studies involving 1 660 472 cases of blood transfusion were included. The results of pooled analysis showed that the total number of adverse transfusion reaction rate was 0.58% (95%CI 0.48 to 0.69). Sub-group analysis shows that the blood transfusion adverse reaction rates in the eastern, central and western regions were 0.42% (95%CI 0.31 to 0.55), 0.55% (95%CI 0.41 to 0.70), 0.56% (95%CI 0.43 to 0.70), respectively; and there were statistical differences between regions (P<0.05). Different types of adverse transfusion reaction rates were 38.85% (95%CI 34.27 to 43.53) for non hemolytic febrile reaction and 55.67% (95%CI 50.79 to 60.50) for allergic. The adverse reactions incidence of different kinds of blood products transfusion occurred were 0.41% (95%CI 0.32 to 0.50) in red blood cell, 0.57% (95%CI 0.43 to 0.72) in plasma, 1.00% (95%CI 0.73 to 1.30) in platelet. The incidence of adverse reaction of platelet transfusion was significantly higher than that of red blood cell and plasma (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a big gap between domestic and foreign blood transfusion adverse reaction reports, therefore comprehensive measures should be taken for further prevention and control.
