Background: Voluntary donors normally tolerate blood donation very well, but, occasionally, adverse reactions of variable severity may occur during or at the end of the collection. The occurrence of adverse reactions to blood donation significantly hampers donor retention and negatively impacts on the universal availability of adequate numbers of blood donor units.  Objective: To analyze the spectrum and prevalence of adverse reactions in blood donors in a tertiary care hospital-based blood bank in SSG Hospital, Vadodara.  Materials and Methods: The details of blood donors who presented for donation from January 2107 to April 2019 period were retrieved from the departmental archives for analysis. These included type of donor, type and frequency of adverse reactions to blood donation. Results: The prevalence of adverse reactions to blood donation was (315/35027) 0.9%; this occurred more frequently in first time donors compared to repeat blood donors. Presyncopal reactions were the most frequent adverse reaction encountered among the donors 52.38% (165/315). Conclusion: Presyncopal reactions are common adverse reactions in our blood donor set; this has implications on transfusion safety and blood donor retention.

Background: Blood donor base is the foundation of any blood transfusion system. Donor screening plays an important role in ensuring the safety of the blood supply.1 This study was undertaken with the aim to screen the blood donor’s demographic profile as male, female voluntary and replacement blood donors and to estimate seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV and VDRL transmissible by blood transfusion in voluntary and replacement male and female blood donors during the last 5 year period.Methods: The present study was conducted over a period of 5 years (2001-2005) and involved 1,53,020 blood donors including both (voluntary, replacement males and females) who were thoroughly screened and selected for blood donation in blood bank at Departments of Pathology, Seth GS Medical College and KEM hospital, Mumbai. We determine among blood donors by their donor type (voluntary and replacement type) and gender wise.Results: The total number of blood donors in five years period was 1,53,020 (100%). Maximum number of voluntary  blood donors 1,00,316 (65.55%), followed by replacement blood donors 52,704 (34.33%).The overwhelming majority of donors in entire 5 years period was of male, comprising 1,36,195 (89.0%), while the female donors comprised of 16825 (10.99%).Conclusions: The maximum number of donors are voluntary males (55.69%) followed by replacement males (33.30%). Our results indicate that the number of female blood donors were less in comparison to male blood donors, so proper health education is required for female blood donors.

Donor Deferral

Introduction: Selection of proper donor according to stringent selection criteria is the prerequisite for safe blood transfusion practice. It is widely known that a large number of blood donors are deferred for different reasons. Objective: The aim of present study is to evaluate the incidence and different reasons of blood donor deferral in atertiary care hospital. Methodology: This retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in Transfusion Medicine and Clinical Haematology Department of BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, during the period from July 2016 to June 2017.The blood donor of either sex attending the mentioned department were selected purposively and categorized into four groups according to their age for this study. Donors were selected and deferred by medical officer according to national guideline. Deferred blood donors were recorded in register book and were analyzed retrospectively. Results: In current study, 1152 blood donor (8.8%) were deferred attending for allogeneic blood donation during the study period. Out of 13082 registered blood donor 11961were male (91.43%) and 1121 were female (8.57%) and deferral rate was 2.37 times more in female. Majority of the deferred donors (55.38%) were under the age of 40 where 26.82% were in between 40-49 years and 17.8% were in the range of 50 years and above. Age range of highest deferred donors (32.20%) was between 30-39 years. The number of temporary and permanent deferral were 836 (72.57 %) and 316 (27.43%) respectively. Anaemia (33.01%), underweight (21.53%) and hypotension (17.34%) were the most common reason of temporary deferral. Chronic uncontrolled hypertension (42.4%), donors with medication (16.77%) and asthma (15.18%) was the most common cause of permanent deferral. Conclusion: The deferral rate was low and most of the deferred donors were young adult. Temporary deferred donors were higher than permanent deferred donors. The most common reasons for temporary deferral were anemia, underweight and hypotension. Permanent deferral causes were chronic uncontrolled hypertension, donors on medication for various reason and asthma. Donors should be informed with a clear message on their deferral status. It is important to determine the rate and causes of donor deferral for the safety of blood transfusion and to guide the recruitment efforts for safe blood transfusion and to avoid the permanent loss of blood donors.

BACKGROUND: There are various barriers to donating blood that influence the behavior of people towards blood donation such as cultural beliefs in some ethnic groups, socio-economic factors, their knowledge or lack of knowledge with regards to blood donation and other issues AIM & OBJECTIVE: To establish motivational and socio-demographic factors for the development of a long-term commitment as a blood donor. METHODOLOGY: Questionnaire-based study collected from 310 participants containing 22 items, including socio-demographic information, donors’ evaluation of blood bank service and 23 statements on motivation. Data on motivation was analyzed using factor analysis. RESULTS: Representation of males (85.4%) for donation was much higher compared to females (14.6%).Unemployed individuals were found to be under-represented. The single, most important, recruitment channel was the influence of active blood donors. CONCLUSION: Most donors were recruited by other donors. Their continued involvement as blood donors was primarily linked to altruistic and empathic reasons.

INTRODUCTION: India being the second highly populated nation in the world. HIV/AIDS has acquired pandemic proportion in the world. Estimate by WHO for current infection rate in Asia. India has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world. HIV prevalence in the age group 15-49 yrs was an estimate of 0.2%. India has been classified as an intermediate in the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) endemic (HBsAg carriage 2-7%) zone with the second largest global pool of chronic HBV infections. Safety assessment of the blood supply, the quality of screening measures and the risk of transfusion transmitted infectious diseases (TTIs) in any country can be estimated by scrutinizing the files of blood donors. After the introduction of the blood banks and improved storage facilities, it became more extensively used. Blood is one of the major sources of TTIs like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, syphilis, and many other blood borne diseases. Disclosure of these threats brought a dramatic change in attitude of physicians and patients about blood transfusion. The objective of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of transfusion transmitted infections amidst voluntary blood donors at a rural tertiary healthcare teaching hospital in Chhattisgarh. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study was carried out in Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Medical College, Kachandur, Durg. Blood donors were volunteers, or and commercial donors who donated the blood and paid by patients, their families, or friends to replace blood used or expected to be used for patients from the blood bank of the hospital. After proper donation of blood routine screening of blood was carried out according to standard protocol. Laboratory diagnosis of HIV 1 and HIV 2 was carried out by ELISA test. Hepatitis B surface antigen was screened by using ELISA. RESULTS: A total of 1915 consecutive blood donors’ sera were screened at Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Medical College, blood bank during study period. Of these 1914 were male and 1 female. The mean age of patients was found to be 29.34 years with standard deviation (SD) of 11.65 Years. Among all blood donors in present study, 759(39.63%) were first time donors and 1156(60.37%) were repeated donors. 1 patient was HIV positive in first donation group while 3 (75%) were positive in repeat donation group. 7 (38.9%) were HBsAg positive in in first donation group while 11(61.1%) were positive in repeat donation group. Two patients in first donation group had dual infection of HIV and HBsAg. CONCLUSION: Seropositivity was high in repeated donors as compared to first time donors. The incidence of HIV is observed to be 0.2% and that of HBsAg is 0.94%. Strict selection of blood donors should be done to avoid transfusion-transmissible infections during the window period.

Background: A significant imbalance in access to safe blood is seen between the developing and developed countries. Donor selection has a pivotal role in preventing transfusion related complications and provide safety to the recipients. In this study, we aimed to find out rate and causes of blood donor rejection in our hospital.  Methods: A retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital involving both the voluntary and replacement donors during the period September 2017 to December 2018. We included all those donors who were considered unfit for blood donation. All those who came for blood donation at our hospital were asked to fill up an enrolment form for a blood donor. A general and systemic examination were done. We calculated the rejection rate, listed the reasons for donor rejection, and analyzed the data.Results: Among 150 rejected blood donors, most were males [129 (86%)], and the rest were females [21 (14%)]. The rejection rate in our study was 3.29%. We found that the rejection rate of donors was different among voluntary and replacement donors. It showed that the most common reason for the temporary rejection of blood donation was low hemoglobin level, followed by abnormal blood pressure.  Conclusions: A vast majority of donors were rejected temporarily [132 (88%)], while the rest of them were rejected permanently [18 (12%)]. Low Hb in females and abnormal blood pressure in males were the commonest causes of blood donor rejection. Many factors affect the similarities and variations between the most typical causes of blood donor rejection, such as geographical area, cultural, socio-economic, and educational factors.
