Cross-sectional study design

Structured PICO

P

Population

10,000 plasmapheresis donors in Korea, collected from March 6 to May 23, 2024.

O

Outcome

Seroprevalence of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) immunoglobulin G (IgG)

The seroprevalence of HAV IgG among Korean plasmapheresis donors is lowest in those aged 30-40s, suggesting this group should be prioritized for HAV vaccination to prevent transfusion-transmitted infections during outbreaks.
