We hence aimed to elucidate the safety and availability of home transfusion in Japan, which has not been clarified to date.
Materials and methods: Clinics throughout Japan that provide home care and have experience in performing blood transfusions were surveyed. The analysis period was February to December 2019. Basic information about the clinics, their collaboration system with core hospitals, storage method of red blood cells (RBCs) and the system for the management of patient information regarding transfusion reactions were investigated.
Results: Detailed information was obtained regarding the implementation of home transfusions by 51 clinics. The proportion of home care clinics performing home transfusions was 17.6%, and they were more frequently performed in urban regions. Approximately half of the clinics collaborated with a core hospital for emergency responses to transfusion reactions. At 84% of the clinics, RBC units were stored in refrigerators that were not exclusively allocated to blood storage. Nurses and family members were involved as patient attendants in 83% and 77% of the home transfusions, respectively. No serious transfusion reactions were reported among the 150 patients in 2019, nor the 623 patients up to 2018.
Conclusion: From data on its availability and safety, home transfusions are considered to be in the developing phase in Japan. Increased cooperation between hospitals and clinics is crucial towards improving the home transfusion system in Japan in the future.抄録：英語フィールド
