Abstract
The performance of participants on the 1990 Comprehensive Blood Bank Surveys of the College of American Pathologists was consistent with the high quality of past surveys. The surveys include challenges in ABO and Rh typing, crossmatching, transfusion decisions, unexpected antibody detection and identification, and supplemental questions to assess contemporary practices. As in previous years, a recurrent serologic problem has been the reporting of antibodies not present in serum (anti-E in Set J-B, and anti-K in Set J-D). Such overidentification of antibodies has little implication for transfusion safety and may, in fact, represent an artifact of the survey's samples and reporting practices.
