摘要
Objective Molecular testing determines D antigen status when abnormal serologic results are observed. Molecular testing is routinely batched, resulting in longer turnaround time for abnormal D status resolution. During the interim, obstetric patients with questionable/uninterpretable and weak D typing results by serology, per the immunohematology reference laboratory (IRL) policy, will receive RhD negative blood. This study aimed to determine whether serology results achieved a concordance. Methods Six hospitals provided samples to the IRL (first IRL) for RhD status by DNA. De-identified samples were sent for serology RhD (second IRL). A concordance of >= 80% was acceptable. Results Forty-nine samples were evaluated. Results were concordant (65.3% [32/49]) and discordant (34.7% [17/49]). This is significantly lower than clinically acceptable 80% (z = 2.57, P < .05). The turnaround-time was 3.0 hours for serology and 4.4 days for molecular evaluation. Conclusion Due to a low concordance, serology could not be used in place of molecular testing.
