Background:It is well known that quite a large number of apparently healthy donors are not able to donate blood successfully because of varied reasons.Aim:We want to analyze the rate and various reasons for deferrals.Materials and Methods:A retrospective analysis of records of the donors, for 3 years, from January 2005 to December 2007 was done, in order to find out the rate and causes of deferral in four categories of age groups, both in male and female, in our Transfusion Medicine Centre, Bangalore, India.Result:There were 16,706 donors, of which 976 donors were deferred (5.84%) for various reasons. Of the 16,706 donors registered for donation, females constituted only 11.27%. And deferral rate was about five times more for female (19.85%) compared to male (4.06%). The three most common reasons for deferral in female were low hemoglobin levels, low body weight, and hypotension. The deferral rate was higher in the age group of 18-25 years and most common cause was low hemoglobin level. In male, the three most common reasons for deferral were hypertension, under weight, and low hemoglobin levels. The deferral rate varied from 4 to 15% as reported in the literature. The most common cause of deferral in our study and in several studies available in the literature is the same.

“…The rate of deferral differs from region to region and sometimes in the same region from one center to center [2]. The lowest reported rate of rejection was by Talonu [3] (4%) in Papua New Guinea [3] and higher rate (8-15%) was reported by Chaudhary et al [1], Lim et al [4], Blumberg et al [5] and Ranveet et al [6].…”

Introduction: Suspension of eligibility of an individual to donate blood or blood components due to various causes is called deferral. This is intended to take care that removal of blood does not harm the donor and that the potential risk to the recipient due to disease conditions in donor must be kept to minimum. This cross sectional study was designed to delineate the causes for deferrals amongst whole blood donors.Methodology: This was a 1 year descriptional study done in a tertiary care teaching hospital Blood Bank in South India. The various causes for deferral of the donor from donation were collected from the donor deferral register which was recorded using the regular questionnaire based interview in the registration card followed by thorough medical history elicitation and examination. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 10.Results: Amongst 30711 donors who attended the blood bank for donation, deferral rate was 9.74%. Out of which there were 2487 (83.11%) temporary and 505 (16.89%) permanent deferrals. The most common cause for deferral was anemia in females whereas among males it was alcohol consumption in the past 12 hours. Conclusion:The deferral rate in this study is comparable to the deferral rates in other centers. The data will be very essential and helpful in testing the applicability of donor selection criteria locally in different geographical settings.

[10,[13][14][15] However, studies by other authors have cited low (5.6-7.1%) to very high (20-35.6%) deferral incidence in their donor population, which probably refl ects the regional diversity and marked variation in whole blood donor eligibility criteria internationally.…”

Background: Donors disqualifi ed or rejected from donating blood are known as "deferred" donors. Blood donors are deferred for various reasons. Donors are deferred either temporarily or permanently. To make blood transfusion safe for the patients, many safety measures are undertaken, and the most important is a selection of the suitable blood donors. The rate and reasons of deferral differ from region to region and one center to the other. Aim: The aim of this study is to fi nd out the impact of counseling on temporary donors deferral. Materials and Methods: A total of 271 donors is deferred against 10,853 blood donors recruited on the basis of clinical history and brief medical examination by medical offi cer during the period of 19 months from 1 st of November 2009 to 31 st May 2011. Those who were deferred temporarily during this period were counseled regarding the importance of blood donation and asked them to recruit after removal of the temporary causes. Follow-up of these temporarily deferred donors was done for 1-year. During this period, data collected were analyzed after 1-year of follow-up. Result: Incidence of donor deferral in our study was low. Most common reasons for the donor deferral in our study were alcohol consumption, followed by anemia and then, history of sexual exposure. A total of 124 temporarily deferred donors were recruited for blood donation. Conclusion: Voluntary blood donors are the backbone of blood bank. Deferral of the donors creates negative feelings about blood donation. Education, motivation, and treatment of these deferred donors due to anemia or other temporary deferrals are important aspects in blood banking and hence that these donors can be recruited again. Thus, effective measures need to be initiated to fi nd out the issue of lost donors in terms of numbers and reasons. Hence, it is important to retain the stock of precious blood units lost due to these temporary deferrals. Abstract Access this article onlineWebsite: www.ijmedph.org
