The development and evanescence of red blood cell antibodies after transfusion: <scp>A</scp> multi‐institutional prospective study in <scp>Japan</scp>
The number of RBC units transfused can impact antibody development, and antibodies identified only by saline and/or enzyme methods, deemed clinically insignificant, are likely to have a high evanescence rate. Antibody screen should be carefully performed, especially in those receiving a large number of RBC units. Confirming previous antibody screen results should be performed to prevent omitting evanesced antibodies regardless of clinical relevance.
