Projected Population-Level Impact of Digital Return of Results for Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Screening at US Blood Donation Centers: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study

Paper No results yet Not peer reviewed

Key takeaways

US blood donation centers see millions of healthy adults who never get checked for early heart, kidney and metabolic problems. This team built a computer model to guess how many people could be caught early if donors got their results back digitally. Nobody was actually screened: these are simulated numbers meant to help design a real trial later. It is also a preprint, so no outside experts have checked it yet.
