Identification of patients at risk would assist in treatment planning. A retrospective study of alloimmunised patients was undertaken, comparing the demographics and diagnoses of this population with a control patient population. A preponderance of diagnoses of Sepsis, Haematological Malignancy, GIT Bleeds and Renal Failure was demonstrated in the alloimmunised population. Consistent with prior studies, RhD negative patients and female patients were over-represented in the study group, which was also on average significantly older.© 2014 Elsevieralloimmunisationred cell antibodytransfusion2015-0210.1016/j.transci.2014.12.0082015-12-10Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International
