Donor Deferral

Background: Blood donor programme is vital to any transfusion service. This process of blood donation involves voluntary and non remunerated blood donors. The objective of donor screening is to minimize the chances of transmitting infectious agents to recipients. Material and Method: The study was conducted during one year duration from 2017-2018. A total of 700 donors are deferred against 9556 blood donors recruited on the basis of clinical history and brief medical examination in blood bank and voluntary blood donation camps. Donors were deferred temporarily or permanently. Result: Out of 700 deferred donors; 546 were voluntary and 154 were replacement blood donors. Male (601) outnumbered female (99). There were 682 temporary and 18 permanent deferral. Most common age group for deferral was 17-30 yrs (490). Common causes included anemia(142), on medication(108), underweight(83) and high blood pressure(72). Conclusion: Donor selection process is a most important preliminary step in blood banking and should follow stringent medical and regulatory rules. Studying and analysing the profile of blood donors will help to identify sections of the population which could be targeted to increase the pool of voluntary blood donors. Every attempt should be made to decrease the donor deferral keeping in view the safety of both donor and recipients. Keywords: Blood donor, Deferral, Voluntary, Temporary, Permanent.

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.

Microbiological safety is very important aspect of blood transfusion services (BTS). Viral infectious agents possess a great risk of transfusion transmitted disease. On the one hand, blood or component transfusion is a lifesaving modality but on the other hand it can cause great mortality or morbidity in recipient if not used judiciously. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis and Malaria amongst all types of donors donated at blood bank of Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during the year 2017. This was a retrospective study. The blood donors included in this study include all donors coming directly to blood bank and blood donation camps organized by blood bank. Total donation during that period was 22255 units. A detailed questionnaire was given to the donors for registration. A total of 226 units (1.01%) were seropositive. The sero-prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, and Syphilis were 0.9% (21), 0.79% (177), 0.09% (22), 0.02% (6) respectively. No cases of malaria were detected. TTI can be reduced by motivating maximum voluntary blood donation, reducing replacement donation, public information and donor education awareness programme, stringent donor screening criteria and vigilance of error.

Objectives: The Study was conducted with an objective to analyze the important contributors of neonatal mortality and outcome of referred neonates admitted to intensive care unit of a tertiary care centre. Methods: In this prospective observational study conducted over one year period included extramural neonates only. Respiratory and hemodynamic status of all neonates at admission was assessed and outcome was evaluated. Results: At admission 80 % of neonates were hypothermic, hypoxic – 37 %, prolonged capillary lling time (CFT)- 85% and hypoglycemic – 28 %. Sepsis was the most common nal diagnosis followed by birth asphyxia and neonatal jaundice. 39% of neonates had poor outcome whereas 61% had good outcome. Culture positivity was 40 % for at risk neonates for sepsis. Among these, most common organism was klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Staph aureus. Conclusion: This prospective study reveals the need of better neonatal transport facility from labor room to intensive care unit and from periphery to tertiary centers.

Donor Deferral

: Blood Transfusion Services is vital part of health care system which saves many lives annually across the globe. Shortage of blood donors is a problem faced by all the blood banks. Many donors are deferred either due to temporary or permanent causes which differ across the blood banks.: The study was carried out on 1646 donors which came to the blood bank.: Total 194 donors were deferred out of 1646 registered donors due to different reasons, anaemia followed by intake of medicines were found to be most common causes of deferral and males were deferred more as compared to the females.: The donor deferral rate in the present study was 11.78 with anaemia as the most common cause of deferral followed by intake of medicines. The temporarily deferred donors need to be closely followed up to ensure their contribution in the blood banks after the treatment of their causes.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Background: In India, a large majority of blood donors are deferred due to anemia. Anemia is a temporary cause of deferral which can be easily treated. Deferrals due to anemia can be easily identified in blood bank and can be treated and managed effectively.Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in Department of Blood Bank of Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Govt. Medical College, Chamba (H.P) over a time period of one year from 1st Jan 2017 to 31st Dec 2017.Results: We observed that the total number of deferrals was 90 out of all blood donors forming 9%. Out of all deferrals, those due to anemia were 23 (25.5%). Prevalence of anemia in female donors is much higher, constituting 26.31% and anemia in male donors in our study is lower forming 1.8%.Conclusions: Our study concluded that percentage of anemia is much higher in females than males. Educating and counseling females about prevention and treatment of anemia would help in lowering the percentage of anemia in females in our community.

Donor Deferral

Background:  It is the prime duty of transfusion services to provide safe, adequate and timely need of blood and the blood products. Understanding the reasons for donor deferral can help in planning more efficient recruitment strategies and educate and motivate temporarily deferred donors in order to maintain a safe and adequate supply of blood products. Aims of the Study: To evaluate and analyze the blood donor deferral pattern in a tertiary care hospital blood bank and to review its influence on blood safety. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the blood bank, CHRI from the year January 2015 to December 2018. Data like demographic data, clinical history, physical examination, haematological examination, stored in the blood bank was retrived. The donors will be deferred based on standard WHO guidelines. The collected deferral data was analyzed using SPSS software 2011version 20. Results: During the study period there were 7010 registered blood donors. The deferral rate was 5.19%. Among the donor deferrals, females were more commonly deferred ie 31.66%. The deferral rate among voluntary and replacement donors are 4.71% and 11.62% respectively. The rate of permanent deferral (17.86%) was less compared to temporary deferral (82.14%). Among temporary deferral anaemia is the most common cause (27.75%). Seropositive for Hepatitis B is the most common cause for permenant deferral (52.30%). Conclusion: In our study temporary deferral is higher this necessities the need of education, motivation of these donors for future donation to maintain a healthy and safe donor pool.
