Abstract
- We hypothesized that diagnoses may be associated with alloantibody 'responder' status and examined associations between disease states and alloimmunization. Patients with ≥1 alloantibody and non-alloimmunized controls were analysed. Pearson's coefficients were calculated to determine associations between alloimmunization and diseases; significant correlations were selected to construct a network. Inflammatory disorders and diseases requiring chronic transfusion support were associated with responder status. Mitigation steps may be considered in patients with these disorders.
