Add to ORKGBackground: Screening of alloantibodies in patients is not yet done in district hospitals of Rwanda. The practice is to transfuse ABO/D compatible blood following an immediate spin crossmatch (IS-XM) or indirect antiglobulin test crossmatch (IAT-XM). Objectives: To assess the risk of red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunisation associated with the use of IS-XM compared to the IAT-XM in patients receiving blood transfusions in district hospitals in Rwanda. Design: A cross-sectional comparative descriptive study. Setting: Four Rwandan district hospitals. Kirehe and Nyanza hospitals used IS-XM while Muhima and Ruhengeri hospitals used IAT-XM. Subjects: Blood samples were obtained from 187 patients (101 with IS-XM and 86 wit
