Construction and application of platelet virtual matching information system / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To construct a platelet digital matching information system (PMIS). 【Methods】 The framework of PMIS was designed and the main functions were developed. The information system was connected with the information modules of clinical application, laboratory testing, blood donation service, blood inventory and distribution. Further, the preliminary application of this system will be carried on in clinical. 【Results】 The PMIS had been successfully developed and 5048 blood donors with HLA and HPA genotypes were registered in the system. A total of 306 patients applied for matching and 16.5% of them received compatible platelet reports immediately from the inventory bloods, with the median waiting time of all matching as 3 days, which was significantly shorter than that of the manual method (3.8±3.1 days vs 5.4±5.4 days). 【Conclusion】 The developed PMIS has realized the whole process management of blood donors and patients, which is helpful to improve the platelet matching level.
