要旨

Background And Objectives:

Wikipedia has become a widely consulted source for health-related information, including transfusion medicine, by both healthcare professionals and the general public. However, the accuracy and completeness of transfusion-related content on this platform remain understudied. So, we aimed to systematically evaluate the current state and quality of transfusion medicine-related content available on Wikipedia.

Materials And Methods:

The Wikipedia Subgroup of the Clinical Transfusion Working Party of the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) conducted a cross-sectional analysis of transfusion medicine-related Wikipedia articles up to 31 December 2024. Articles were identified using the search terms 'Transfusion', 'Blood Components', 'Blood Groups' and related topics. Data extracted and analysed included article metadata, content metrics, visibility indicators and editorial activity.

Results:

A total of 190 Wikipedia pages related to transfusion medicine were identified, with an additional 14 domain-specific webpages. The most common categories were blood groups (15.3%), blood components (13.7%) and clinical transfusion medicine (11.6%). Nearly 50% of pages were created between 2006 and 2010. Only 21.6% of pages were classified as complete, while 48.4% remained in the development phase.

Conclusion:

This study uncovers significant gaps in transfusion medicine content on Wikipedia, with many articles found to be incomplete or poorly maintained. These findings present a clear opportunity for healthcare professionals, particularly members of the ISBT Clinical Transfusion Working Party's Wikipedia Subgroup, to enhance the quality, accuracy and accessibility of transfusion-related information through coordinated, collaborative editing efforts.

Blood Transfusion

Blood Transfusion

Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that saves lives and treats various medical conditions. It involves transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This process requires a thorough understanding of the ABO blood group system and its associated antigens and antibodies.
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Self-Schemas

Self-Schemas

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.
