Analysis of Donor Deferral Characteristics for Plateletpheresis in a Tertiary Care Hospital – A Retrospective Study.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The demand of platelets is increasing rapidly in various cases like cancer dengue fever, and other platelet‑related disorders. Single donor platelet (SDP) unit is a useful platelet product over the traditional Random Donor Platelet (RDP) unit in many diseases for raising the platelet count. For better yield, a healthy and young donor is required which is a great challenge for the blood bank staff. Material and Method: The present study was conducted from June 2015 to December 2018 (retrospectively) in the Department of Blood Bank, L.N. Medical College and J.K Hospital, Bhopal. Data were collected from the records maintained by the Department of Blood Bank and Transfusion Medicine. Results: Out of 165, a total of 110 Plateletpheresis donors were selected for SDP donation, and the remaining 55 (33.3 %) donors were deferred for various reasons. The predominant age range of the deferred donors was 25–34 years (50.9 %). Among the deferred donors, males were 81.8 % and females were 18.18 %. Temporarily deferred donors account for 98.19 % and permanently deferred donors were 1.81 %. Most common causes for deferral were Poor venous access (29.09 %), low platelet count (21.81 %), and low Hb count (16.36 %), and the least common cause was dermatitis at the venipuncture site (3.63 %). The most common reason for permanent deferral was seropositivity for HBsAg Conclusion: Selection of proper plateletpheresis donor will give good yield of platelets. Temporary deferred donor should be counseled properly so as to encourage them for the future donations when they become eligible, and this bridges the gap between the demand and supply of apheresis platelets.
