Does prevalence of transfusion-transmissible viral infection reflect corresponding incidence in United States blood donors?
Incidence of TTVIs cannot be easily predicted from overall prevalence. Accurate assessment of TTVI risk necessitates knowledge about donation histories and person-years at risk. Establishing comprehensive frameworks for monitoring blood donations and infectious disease markers remains a key to monitoring blood safety.
Adrenocorticol responsiveness in recently abstinent alcohol-dependent men does not appear to reflect a preexisting biologic vulnerability to alcoholism.
