title: The 1980 comprehensive blood bank survey of the College of American Pathologists.
abstract: Results of the 1980 Comprehensive Blood Bank Survey of the College of American Pathologists are summarized in tabular form. The overall mean of correct responses among participating laboratories showed a high degree of correlation with Referee Laboratory results in ABO and Rh D typing as well as in crossmatching. Some problems existed in the identification and recognition of multiple alloantibodies and in the identification of an alloanti-c in the presence of rouleaux. Ungraded sample results are reported as well as responses to questions regarding the current standards of practice in hospital blood banks.
