There is a paucity of data on reasons for blood donor deferral in Ivory Coast. The aim of this study was to identify the reasons for predonation deferral at a blood collection site at General Hospital, Yopougon Atti\u00e9 in Abidjan.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:bold> The investigators conducted a retrospective audit of data pertaining to donor deferral for blood donors that presented to the general hospital of Yopugon Atti\u00e9 from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> A total of 10,694 prospective blood donors, presented over the study period, and 24,363 attempts to donate were registered. The majority were repeat blood donors (77.4%). A total of 2618 (10.8%) donors were deferred. The most frequent reason for deferral was a low hemoglobin level (42.5%), with females constituting the majority of those deferred. The second most frequent reason for deferral was a reported change of or new sexual partner (34.3%); male donors were predominant in this group. Additional reasons for deferral included short interdonation interval (4.6%) and reactivity for a screened biomarker (2.3%).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold> Although the rates for permanent and temporary deferral rates are similar between the Ivory Coast and high\u2010middle income countries, the causes and demographics differ. The reasons for exclusion are preventable through awareness and education of prospective blood donors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2012.03756.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,10]],"date-time":"2012-07-10T18:14:53Z","timestamp":1341944093000},"page":"1602-1606","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Reasons for blood donation deferral in sub\u2010Saharan Africa: experience in Ivory Coast"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Maxime Diane","family":"Kouao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bamory","family":"Dembel\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Landry Kouassi","family":"N'Goran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seidou","family":"Konat\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evan","family":"Bloch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward L.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Jacques","family":"Lefr\u00e8re","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","first-page":"1273","article-title":"Progress toward strengthening blood transfusion services\u201414 countries, 2003\u20102007","volume":"57","author":"Pitman J","year":"2008","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08880010500456907"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","volume-title":"Blood transfusion in clinical medicine","author":"Mollison PL","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2008.02062.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/tmrv.2001.24593"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2004.04160.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1007594716912"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3148.2007.00738.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_2","first-page":"16","article-title":"Voluntary blood donor deferrals: two year review at Lagos state blood transfusion service","volume":"13","author":"Dada MO","year":"2010","journal-title":"Afr Sang"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tracli.2006.03.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3148.2009.00968.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1516-31802001000400003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tracli.2005.04.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_2","first-page":"641","article-title":"Evaluation of iron stores in blood donors by serum ferritin","volume":"124","author":"Mittal R","year":"2006","journal-title":"Indian J Med Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_2","first-page":"571","article-title":"Blood pre\u2010donation deferrals.
