Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Donor selection is an important factor which determines the quality of blood. Temporary deferrals in blood camp among various professionals have become one of the leading causes of blood donor rejections and are an equivalent risk factor compared to permanent rejections. Whole blood donor deferrals lead to loss of precious blood donors and blood units available for transfusion purposes1 . This is mainly attributed to the high prevalence of unawareness among various professions, poor and unhealthy lifestyle, work stress and lack of physical activity that can cause blood pressure and cardiac problems. Our study aims to compare the deferral pattern among various professions such as college students, Bank workers, IT professionals,Corporate workers, Police and Politicians. Blood pressure problems are the leading cause of temporary deferrals followed by low hemoglobin level. Deferrals due to inadequate sleep and inadequate breakfast can be minimized by conducting prior awareness programs so that the level of healthy donors can be increased. Increased public education on common causes of donor deferral may also lower deferral rates by allowing prospective donors to "pre-screen" themselves. 10 Henceforth the above study shows that abnormal blood pressure is the leading problem among donors and many other deferral reasons can be reduced by healthy lifestyle modifications and prior awareness programs
