Delayed Donor Reactions to Blood Donations – Anonymous Electronic Survey
Original language description
Background: Incidence of undesirable delayed blood donation reactions that appear only after leaving a donation centre (off-site) is not so thoroughly observed unlike early reactions. Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of delayed complications to blood donations using a method of the electronic survey. Methods: The studied population comprised voluntary, and non-remunerated donors who gave whole blood, and apheresis donors in the Regional Hospital Liberec during the last 12 months. 5497 donors were addressed via a short mobile phone text message with a link to an anonymous electronic questionnaire located on the Regional Hospital Liberec website. Donors filled in the possible troubles regarding only the last finished donation. Results: 1792 questionnaires were used for the definitive analysis (32.6% of all addressed donors). The donor average age was 38.5 years. Some of the complications were present in 35.3% donors (26.8% males, and 46.7% females, pËÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ0.001). The most frequent trouble was fatigue (21.2%), then hematoma after the donation (13.1%), weakness, faint, and dizziness (5.3%), and pain in a limb from which blood was taken (4.8%), shortness of breath on exertion (3.4%), manifestation of infection (cold, elevated temperature, muscle and joint pains, chills) during the seven post-donation days (2.0%), late venipuncture bleeding (1.5%), phlebitis (0.6%), nausea, and vomiting (0.4%), collapse (0.4%), and unconsciousness (0.3%). The adverse reactions occurred more frequently after whole blood donation (36.8%) than after plasmapheresis (24.4%), pËÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ0.001. Tired male donors had 17 times higher risk of weakness, or dizziness than non-tired donors (pËÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ0.001), and also tired women had 2.5 times higher risk of weakness, or dizziness than non-tired female donors (pËÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ0.001) Summary / Conclusions: More than 1/3 of the donors with the majority of them being women reported some troubles after donations. Fatigue was the dominant difficulty among them. The study provided detailed data for working out educative material for donors.
