Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Blood safety is a major issue all over the world in transfusion medicine. For this, donor selection is necessary in addition to the screenings of blood bags for infectious diseases. Deferrals lead to loss of precious blood/ components available for transfusion. For preventing this, we should be having knowledge of causes of deferral and their frequency. In this study, causes of donor deferral were evaluated retrospectively from January 2014 to December 2016 in the blood bank of Peoples college of medical sciences and research centre Bhopal (India). In this study temporary deferral was more common than permanent deferral. Most common cause in permanent deferral was HBsAg positivity. Causes among temporary deferral were anaemia (Hb<12.5 gm%), alcohol in last 72 hr, weight <45 kg, age <18 years, patients on antibiotic, previous donation in last 3 month, typhoid in last 1 year, dog bite etc.
