2 International Survey on NAT testing of Blood Donations 2014 Announcement: A New International Survey on NAT Testing of Blood Donations Is Planned for 2014 Organized by WP-TTID of ISBT Discussion, Ideas etc. - Welcome

3 ISBT Working Party Transfusion Transmitted Infectious Diseases The WP-TTID (Working Party - Transfusion Transmitted Infectious Diseases) is the constituent of ISBT (International Society of Blood Transfusion) responsible for evaluation and advocacy of ways to increase blood safety in the world in order to reduce the frequency of TTID. This will be accomplished by: reviewing, gathering and analyzing relevant data developing and coordinating international studies publishing scientific reports proposing guidances, procedures and main technologies in all regions of the world, taking into account different regional epidemiologies

20 Summary questionnaire 2008 and outlook 2008 Electronic surveys are feasible and efficient Years of discussion/ preparation Commitment of participants is a key prerequisite WP-TTID provides relevant structures: dedicated members and an international network Comprehensive survey/ huge data set (Highly relevant NAT data + serology) Excellent cross sectional data (2008) STATUS QUO Excel-based questionnaire, partially cumbersome; programmer assistance needed!

21 Questionnaire 2014 Changes: Convenience for the user: - web-based survey tool: - Weblink/ , embeded into homepage (no programmer needed) - By using page/question logics: Answer only questions which fit your profile, e.g. if you do not use NAT you are directed to questions regarding serology - Creation of drop down menus for e.g. NAT suppliers Modifications: - Use a modified set-up but in accordance to the 2008 version - Statistical analysis of data, trends via text analysis, Excel/pdf export etc. & SPSS integration more countries using NAT development of NAT only pos. in relation to the questionnaire 2008

22 Questionnaire 2014 Challenges: - Reach more participants in more countries - Trustworthy & reasonable statistical analysis - Comparison to Comparison to other national and international statistics - Comparison to serology
