The fact that blood groups can act as receptors/coreceptors for bacteria, viruses, and parasites demonstrates the importance of blood groups in infection. Blood group antigens also aid in cell adsorption, signal transmission, and/or membrane micro-domain retention. Furthermore, blood type can influence the innate immune response to infection. This data was compiled using the risk perception of blood transfusion scale, which is part of a larger risk perception questionnaire. Blood transfusion risk perception is measured on a 7-point Likert scale based on a set of qualitative characteristics; 119 participants in Hafr Al-Batin blood bank had a significant difference in risk perception of blood transfusion due to receiving blood, whereas those who had never received blood had no risk perception. as much risk perception of blood transfusion, and because of viral hepatitis infection, those who did not have viral hepatitis had more risk perception of blood transfusion, but there is no significant difference in risk perception of blood transfusion due to gender, age, educational level, and blood donation. The implementation of strict donor pre-screening and preventative measures to control infections in the general population, as well as the introduction of new, more sensitive screening tests, could significantly reduce transfusion-transmitted viral infections across eastern Saudi Arabia.
