摘要
Safe, timely red blood cell transfusion saves lives and chronic transfusion therapy (CTT) prevents or limits morbidities such as stroke, therefore improving quality of life of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). This questionnaire-based study assessed the ability of sickle cell centers in Nigeria to provide safe blood to patients with SCD between March and August 2014. Out of the 73 hospitals contacted, responses were obtained from 31. Twenty four (78%) hospitals were unable to transfuse patients regularly due to blood scarcity. Packed red blood cells were available in 14 (45%), while only one provided leukocyte-depletion. Most centers assessed donor risk and screened for HIV in 30 (97%), hepatitis B in 31(100%) and hepatitis C in 27 (87%) hospitals. Extended phenotyping and alloantibody screening were not available in any center. A quarter of the hospitals could monitor iron overload, but only using serum ferritin. Access to iron chelators was limited and expensive. Seventeen (55%) tertiary hospitals offered CTT by top-up or manual exchange transfusion; previous stroke was the most common indication. Current efforts of Nigerian public hospitals to provide safe blood and CTT fall short of best practice. Provision of apheresis machines, improvement of voluntary non-remunerated donor drive, screening for red cell antigens and antibodies, and availability of iron chelators would significantly improve SCD care in Nigeria.
