To asses whether females respond differently to RBC alloantigens compared with males, we conducted a literature review on RBC alloimmunization. Clinical studies on RBC alloimmunization incidence were searched for in databases from 1950 through 2011. Studies were included when data were available to calculate the female-to-male risk ratio for alloimmunization.

Thirty articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The Mantel …
