Donor Deferral Pattern for Plateletpheresis at a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:Single donor platelets has numerous advantages over Random Donor Platelets which includes decreased risk of Transfusion transmitted infections, bacterial contamination and alloimmunization due to reduce donor exposure. The most significant limitation to continued expansion of Plateletpheresis is the availability of platelet donors. Ineligibility of donors due to various reasons has further aggravated the already diminished pool of donors. On the basis of selection criteria, donors are deferred either temporarily or permanently. In our study 233 male donors were screened over one year out of which deferral rate was 44.2% (103 out of 233 donors). Deferral rate was highest in the age group of 25-34 years (45%) and most of these (73%) were replacement donors. Amongst these, 98.1% were deferred temporarily and 1.9% permanently. The most common cause of deferral was low platelet count (32%) followed by poor venous access (16%), URI/ intake of antibiotics (12%), low Hemoglobin levels (8%).
