Background: Blood transfusion is a life-saving intervention. Blood should be accepted from non-remunerated and healthy donors. Proper donor screening procedure minimizes the risk of transfusion transmitted Infections and also wastage of blood and blood products and thus screening of donors is a prerequisite for blood donation. Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in blood bank center in the Department of Pathology in a Government teaching hospital, Shivamogga from January 2022 to June 2022. All the voluntary and replacement donors were evaluated by the standard questionnaire and medical examination including demographic profile, anthropometry, blood group, vital signs and hemoglobin estimated by cyanmethemoglobin method were collected from the donation requisition forms and online deferred list. The data were represented in the form of percentage, descriptive statistics and analysed. Results: Out of 3,449 blood donors, 252 were deferred. The deferral rate was 7.31%. Among the ineligible donors, males 245 (97.22%) outnumbered females 7 (2.8%). 242 donors (96.03%) were temporarily rejected among which high blood pressure constituted to 23.02% followed by alcohol consumption (11.11%) whereas 10 donors (3.96%) were deferred permanently. 9 donors (3.57%) had low haemoglobin level. Conclusions: Temporary deferrals are more than permanent deferrals thus temporarily deferred donors should be instructed to return for blood donation after their period of deferral days to retain the pool of blood donors.

Systematic analysis of pre-donation deferral reasons guides the transfusion society to undertake necessary steps towards the retention and re-entry of the temporary deferrals. Aim of our centre’s study is to find out the causes for deferral in detail and to reduce the pre-donation deferrals to an extent that give appreciable results. One year donor details from January 2019 to December 2019, collected from the properly maintained registers, grouped and studied with respect to age, gender and reason for deferral.Deferred donors were 184 out of 2083 registered volunteersThe number of males deferred were higher (139/184; 75.54%) than females (45/184; 24.46%), but the deferral rate was higher in females (45/109; 41.28%). Temporary deferral (84.23%) accounted more than 4/5 of the total deferrals.As our study, most of the studies in literature indicate higher percentage of donor deferrals due to temporary causes. Suitable temporary deferrals can be brought back into the donor pool after completion of the treatment by giving proper counselling about the reason and period of deferral.
