Risk of transfusion‐related acute lung injury and <scp>human immunodeficiency virus</scp> associated with donations from trans donors in Quebec, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Blood operator must establish selection criteria according to the populations at risk of blood-related infections and complications. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the risks of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated with donations from trans persons. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Donor screening data from Héma-Québec were used. The risks of TRALI and HIV were estimated based on internal data and assumptions derived from the literature. The risk was assessed under four scenarios: a most likely scenario, an optimistic scenario and two pessimistic scenarios. All scenarios assumed no prior screening for trans donors. RESULTS: The trans population comprised 134 donors, including 94 (70.1%) trans men. Of the 134 donors, 58 (43.3%) were deferred from donating a blood-derived product because of an ongoing gender-affirming genital surgery, and the remaining 76 (56.7%) were eligible donors. The risk of having a TRALI-causing donation, given that it comes from a trans man, was estimated at one every 115-999 years for all scenarios. The risk of having an HIV-contaminated donation, given that it comes from a trans woman, was estimated at one every 1881-37,600 years for all scenarios. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that donations from trans persons are associated with a negligible risk of TRALI and HIV.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
