Journal Article
Banked term umbilical cord blood to meet the packed red blood cell transfusion needs of extremely-low-gestational-age neonates: a feasibility analysis
2024
Overview
Objectives
To assess the feasibility of drawing, processing, safety-testing, and banking term umbilical cord blood to meet the packed red blood cell transfusion (RBC Tx) needs of extremely-low-gestational-age neonates (ELGANs).
Design
(1) Retrospectively analyze all ELGANs RBC Tx over the past three years, (2) Estimate local cord blood availability, (3) Assess interest in this project, and implementation barriers, through stakeholder surveys.
Results
In three years we cared for 266 ELGANs; 165 (62%) received ≥1 RBC Tx. Annual RBC Tx averaged 197 (95% CI, 152–243). If 10% of our 10,353 annual term births had cord blood drawn and processed, and half of those tested were acceptable for Tx, collections would exceed the 95th % upper estimate for need by >four-fold. Interest exceeded 97%. Identified barriers included FDA approval, training to collect cord blood, and cost.
Conclusion
RBC Tx needs of ELGANS could be met by local cord blood collection.
