Table 3.
HBV seromarker distribution of non-resolved donations, the remaining non-resolved and resolved negative donations.
| Seromarkers | Non-resolved donations (%) | Remaining non-resolved donations (%) | Resolved negative donations (%) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N=252 (42 pools) | N=150 (25 pools) | N=85* | ||
| Anti-HBc+ | 134 (53.2) | 79 (52.6) | 38 (44.7) | 0.15 |
| Anti-HBc+/anti-HBs+ | 116 (46) | 68 (45.3) | 37 (43.5) | 0.699 |
| Anti-HBc+/ anti-HBs− | 18 (7.1) | 11 (7.3) | 1 (1.2) | 0.131 |
| Anti-HBc− | 118 (46.8) | 71 (47.4) | 47 (55.3) | 0.723 |
| Anti-HBc−/ anti-HBs+ | 71 (28.2) | 43 (28.7) | 29 (34.1) | 0.740 |
| Anti-HBc−/ anti-HBs− | 47 (18.6) | 28 (18.7) | 18 (21.2) | 0.90 |
| Total(%) | 252 (100) | 150 (100.0) | 85 (100.0) |
*Donations were identified negative from 17 resolved pools. The rates of anti-HBc alone in non-resolved donations (42 pools) and in the remaining non-resolved donations (25 pools) were significantly higher than that in resolved negative donations (P = 0.032 and P = 0.033, one-sided fisher’s exact).
