Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The TTIMS project includes characterization of transfusion-transmissible infection (TTI) marker risks in at least half of the U.S. blood supply with monitoring of temporal, geographic, and demographic trends, and provides a framework for evaluating the effect of a new intervention (such as implementation of a new deferral policy) on TTI risks and blood donor risk factors. This program fills a significant gap in current public health blood donor surveillance efforts by monitoring the safety of the nation’s blood supply and can serve as a resource for additional investigations. |
