Investigation and analysis of HbA1c among voluntary blood donors in Hunan Province

Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2022, Vol 35, Issue 9

Abstract

Objective To understand the abnormalities of HbA1c in the blood donor population in order to improve blood quality and blood donor safety. Methods The qualified voluntary blood donors, from April 2021 to March 2022, were recruited from Yueyang Central Blood Station, Loudi Central Blood Station and Chenzhou Central Blood Station. The baseline data and HbA1c screening results of blood donors were collected for cross-sectional analysis. Results Among 1 397 eligible blood donors, 30.0% (419/1397) was in the prediabetes range (HbA1c 5.7%~6.4%) and 5.3% (74/1397) was in the diabetes range (HbA1c≥6.5%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.073, 95%CI: 1.058~1.088, P<0.05, BMI (OR=1.096, 95%CI: 1.060~1.133, P<0.05), gender (OR=2.392, 95%CI: 1.482~3.303, P<0.05, smoking (OR=2.216, 95%CI: 1.818~3.743, P<0.05), drinking (OR=3.615, 95%CI: 2.240~4.990, P<0.05), and education level (OR=0.077, 95%CI: 0.022~0.278, P<0.05) were the influencing factors of HbA1c in blood donors. Conclusion Among the blood donors in Hunan, 35.3% had abnormal HbA1c (diabetes and prediabetes). HbA1c screening of blood donors is helpful to improve the health management of blood donors, and may also help to improve the storage quality of red blood cells and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions to blood transfusion in patients.
