ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The mechanical fragility index (MFI) is an in vitro measurement of the extent of RBC sublethal injury. Sublethal injury might constitute a component of the RBC storage lesion, thus the MFI was determined serially during routine RBC storage.METHODS:
Leucoreduced AS-5- and SAGM-preserved RBCs were stored under routine blood bank conditions. The mechanical fragility (MF) of each unit was serially measured during storage.RESULTS:
For both AS-5 and SAGM units, male and female RBCs demonstrated statistically significant increases in the MFI during storage. The MFI was significantly lower in AS-5 units compared to SAGM units throughout storage. Female RBCs had significantly lower MFI vs. male RBCs in both AS-5 and SAGM units at all times. No significant differences in MFI were observed between ABO groups for both genders for AS-5 RBCs.CONCLUSIONS:
The MF of RBCs increases during storage. Both gender and preservation solution influenced the MFI; however, the malefemale MFI ratios were similar at all time-points and remained stable, suggesting that gender-based biological differences exist independent of storage solution. The MF could be a useful test for evaluating the effect of novel interventions intended to mitigate the susceptibility of RBCs to sublethal injury during storage.
