AB To describe the demographic patterns of blood transfusion in the United
States, the authors analyzed the cumulative incidence rate of
transfusion-associated acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (total
cases reported from June 1981 through May 1993 per million population)
by sex, race/ethnicity, age (at transfusion), and geographic area.
Except for a high rate in infants, the rate increased with age, peaking
at ages 55-64 years in men and at 65-74 years in women. Overall, the
rate in males was 1.7 times that in females. By age, the rate in males
was significantly higher than that in females only at ages 0-4 years and
45-84 years, when the rate in males was 2-3 times that in females.
Overall, the rates in blacks and Hispanics were twice the rate in
non-Hispanic whites. By age, the rates in blacks and Hispanics were
significantly higher only at ages 0-4 years and 15-54 years, when they
were 2-5 times those in whites, respectively. By state of residence, the
incidence of transfusion-associated AIDS was correlated with the rate of
all other AIDS cases (Spearman correlation coefficient, 0.83; p =
0.0001). Most of these demographic differences probably reflect
differences in exposure to blood transfusion and in the incidence of
conditions requiring transfusions.
