Multivariable negative\u2010binomial regression models were built to estimate adjusted associations of minimum donation intervals, Hb cut\u2010offs (high, \u226513.5 g\/dL in men or \u2265\u200912.5 g\/dL in women, vs. lower values), iron monitoring (yes\/no), providing or prescribing iron supplementation (yes\/no), post\u2010versus pre\u2010donation Hb measurement and geographical location (Asian vs. rest), with low\u2010Hb deferral rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were included from 38 blood services. Low\u2010Hb deferral rates varied from 0.11% to 8.81% among men and 0.84% to 31.85% among women. Services with longer minimum donation intervals had significantly lower deferral rates among both women (rate ratio, RR 0.53, 95%CI 0.33\u20100.84) and men (RR 0.53, 95%CI 0.31\u20100.90). In women, iron supplementation was associated with lower Hb deferral rates (RR 0.47, 95%CI 0.23\u20100.94). Finally, being located in Asia was associated with higher low\u2010Hb deferral rates; RR 9.10 (95%CI 3.89\u201021.27) for women and 6.76 (95%CI 2.45\u201018.68) for men.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Differences in Hb measurement and eligibility criteria, particularly longer donation intervals and iron supplementation in women, are associated with variations in low\u2010Hb deferral rates.
