| Description | Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an adverse event, broadly defined as the onset of respiratory distress during or within 6 hours of blood transfusion. TRALI is a leading cause of transfusion-associated fatalities reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2016, FDA expanded the data within Sentinel to include inpatient electronic medical record (EMR) data from HCA Healthcare (HCA). This assessment of TRALI after blood component exposure is the first Sentinel utilization of this new inpatient data source. This project focused on data exploration and assessed the feasibility of utilizing Sentinel inpatient EMR data to capture exposure to blood components and TRALI. The objectives of the project were to: describe the occurrence of TRALI subsequent to blood component exposure and determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of an algorithm for identifying TRALI, as well as report transfused product exposure in identified TRALI cases. Exploratory analyses focused on feasibility of examining patient and TRALI associated transfusion risk factors, as well as identification of blood components, including component type and processing method (e.g., leukocyte-reduced, irradiated). Where possible, information was derived from medical chart review to inform these explorations. The Sentinel Operations Center posted a final draft protocol for public comment from September 16, 2016, through September 30, 2016. The public comment period is now closed. No comments were received. |
