Comprehensive Blood Bank Survey.
Approximately 2,400 laboratories participated in the 1982 Comprehensive Blood Bank Survey of the College of American Pathologists. Fourteen Referee Laboratories were utilized to validate the results of participants and to assure lack of deterioration of the specimens during shipment. Results of the participants in ABO grouping, Rh D typing, special antigen typing, and antibody detection and identification are reported and discussed. Special ungraded studies, which provided additional challenges, and supplementary questions with the responses of participants are also included.
