Original Source: Prediction of low haemoglobin levels in whole blood donors.
Background and Objectives Each year, a relevant proportion of whole blood donors is deferred from donation because of low haemoglobin (Hb) levels. Such temporary deferrals are demoralizing, and donors may never return for a donation. Reliable predictions of Hb levels may guide the decision whether donors can be invited for the next donation. In this study, a prediction model was developed for the risk of low Hb levels. Materials and Methods Individual data from 5191 whole blood donors were analysed; 143 don...
