Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion safety begins with healthy donors. Blood donors are deferred for multiple reasons and are not able to donate blood successfully, either permanently or temporarily. The aim of this study is to study the main causes of pre-donation deferral of potentially healthy prospective blood donors in a Tertiary care teaching hospital, Blood Bank unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of records of the donors from January 2012 to December 2016 at Swami Samarth Blood Bank attached to BKL Walawalkar Rural Medical College, Sawarde, Chiplun Taluka, Ratnagiri Dist. in order to find out the rate and causes of deferral in pre-donation period both in male and female donors. RESULTS Study showed that the deferral rate was 4.37%. Donors are deferred for multiple reasons. The temporary causes of deferral were more as compared to the permanent causes found to be statistically highly significant. Anaemia was the most common reason (31.30%) in temporary deferrals, while Hypertension (78.35%) is the most common reason in permanent deferral. Most of these deferral donors were (56.25%) females and (44.45%) males were of age 18 - 30 years old. Among male deferrals, hypertension constituted as a cause in 46.43% followed by other diseases and Anaemia, i.e. 22.77% and 14.73% respectively. While Anaemia (86.27%) and hypotension (9.8%) were the causes of choice in females. CONCLUSION The blood transfusion services should develop strategies to identify and rationalise the donor selection criteria and be able to decrease unnecessary deferrals.
