| Abstract |
The Robert Koch Institute collects and evaluates data on the prevalence and incidence of HIV, hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV) and syphilis infections among blood and plasma donors in Germany according to article 22 of the Transfusion Act. This report includes data from all blood donation services in Germany for 2008-2010. The prevalence for HIV ranged from 6.6-7.0/100,000, for HCV from 68.9-81.6/100,000, for HBV from 116.2-136.6/100,000 and for syphilis from 31.0-42.1/100,000 donations. The proportion of incident infections per 100,000 donations ranged from 0.8-0.9 for HIV, 0.8-1.0 for HCV, 0.3-0.5 for HBV and 1.4-1.6 for syphilis. Since 2001 the prevalence and incidence of HBV and HCV among blood has declined whereas incident HIV infections reached a peak in 2008 and 2010 and show an increasing trend. Also, the proportion of syphilis infections among first time donors was highest in 2010. Significant differences in infection prevalence and incidence were found between the sexes, different age groups and different donation types. In order to optimise donor selection a validated donor questionnaire should be used and confidentiality in all steps of donation should be assured. The possibility of a confidential self-exclusion should be explicitly pointed out to donors. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 June 2017.
All research outputs
#4,175,914
of 23,698,019 outputs
Outputs from Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz
#183
of 956 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,353
of 166,064 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz
#1
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,698,019 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 956 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 166,064 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
