ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Knowledge of the reasons for donor deferral can help in planning more efficient recruitment strategies and evaluating donor selection criteria. This study aimed to investigate the rates and reasons for donor deferral. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study at Shiraz Blood Transfusion Center, Shiraz, Iran. METHODS: 141,820 volunteers were interviewed confidentially by physicians before blood donation. The rate of and reasons for donor deferral were investigated according to demographic characteristics. The data were analyzed using the comparison-of-proportions test of the MedCalc statistical software. RESULTS: 43,839 people (30.9%) who had come for blood donation were deferred, 1,973 (4.5%) of them permanently. The deferral rate was significantly higher among women, single individuals and first-time donors, compared with men, married individuals and those with a history of previous donation (P < 0.0001). The deferral rate was significantly higher in the 17 to 30-year-old group (P < 0.05). The reasons for deferral were divided into five categories: risk factors possibly related to HIV or hepatitis (43.6%), underlying diseases (31.9%), non-eligible conditions (13.5%), medications that interfere with blood donation (7.8%) and risk factors that may relate to bacterial or viral infections except HIV and hepatitis infections (3.2%). CONCLUSION: Effective measures are required for documenting the impact of deferral on blood availability, monitoring the effectiveness of and need for deferral, and determining the reasons and rates of deferral. .


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Conhecimentos sobre os motivos do adiamento da doação de sangue podem ajudar a planejar estratégias mais eficientes de recrutamento e avaliar critérios de seleção de doadores. O objetivo foi investigar as taxas e os motivos para o adiamento da doação. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo retrospectivo no centro de transfusão de sangue de Shiraz, Irã. MÉTODOS: 141.820 voluntários foram entrevistados confidencialmente por médicos antes da doação de sangue. A taxa e as razões para o adiamento da doação foram pesquisadas de acordo com características demográficas. Os dados foram analisados com o teste de comparação de proporções do software estatístico MedCalc. RESULTADOS: 43.839 pessoas (30.9%) encaminhadas para doação tiveram sua doação diferida, sendo 1.973 permanentemente. A taxa de adiamento foi significativamente maior entre as mulheres, solteiras e doadoras de primeira vez, em comparação com os homens, casados e os com história de doação anterior (P < 0,0001). A taxa de adiamento foi significativamente maior no grupo de 17-30 anos de idade (P < 0,05). As razões para o adiamento foram divididas em cinco categorias: fatores de risco que podem estar relacionados com HIV ou hepatite (43,6%), doenças subjacentes (31,9%), condições não elegíveis (13,5%), medicamentos que interferem na doação (7,8%) e fatores de risco que podem estar relacionados com infecções bacterianas ou virais, exceto infecções de HIV e hepatite (3,2%). CONCLUSÃO: São necessárias medidas eficazes para documentar ...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Traçar o perfil das doações de córnea obtidas pelo Banco de Tecidos Oculares do Hospital Getúlio Vargas (BTOC-HGV), avaliar a qualidade do tecido captado e enumerar as indicações do transplante de córnea. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de ficha de doadores cadastrados no BTOC-HGV no período de 2008 a 2011. Foram coletados dados de idade, gênero e causa do óbito do doador, tempo de enucleação, tempo de preservação, qualidade da córnea doada, causas de descartes e indicações de transplante de córnea no BTOC. Resultados: Foram analisadas 311 fichas de doadores de córnea do BTOC-HGV. O número de doações aumentou de 9 em 2008 para 80 em 2009, 109 em 2010 e 113 em 2011. A maioria dos doadores era do gênero masculino. A média da idade dos doadores foi de 43,00 ± 16,01 anos. A maioria das córneas transplantadas (78,6%) foi óptica. Foram descartadas 7,16% das córneas ópticas, sendo a maioria por nova classificação em tectônica e detecção de sorologia positiva. O tempo de enucleação foi de 3,77 ± 2,18 horas e o de preservação foi de 6,86 ± 6,10 horas. A causa mortis mais frequente foram causas externas, seguida por doenças do aparelho circulatório, respiratório, digestivo e geniturinário. A principal indicação de transplante foi ceratopatia bolhosa, seguida por ceratocone e perfuração corneana. Conclusão: Este estudo demonstrou a existência de fatores associados à qualidade das córneas captadas pelo BTOC como idade, tempo entre a enucleação e a preservação e causa do óbito. A principal indicação de transplante foi ceratopatia bolhosa. .


Objective: To describe the profile of corneal donations obtained by Ocular Tissue Bank, Hospital Getúlio Vargas (BTOC-HGV), assess the quality of the captured tissue and list the indications for corneal transplant. Methods: Retrospective study of registered donors in BTOC-HGV in the period 2008-2011. Collected data were: age, gender and cause of death of the donor, enucleation time, preservation time, quality of the donated cornea, causes of discards and indications for penetrating keratoplasty in BTOC. Results: Were analyzed 311 records of donor cornea BTOC-HGV. The number of donations increased from 9 in 2008 to 80 in 2009, 109 in 2010 and 113 in 2011. Most donors were male. The average age of the donors was 43.00 ± 16.01 years. The majority of transplanted corneas (78.6%) was optics. Were discarded 7.16% of corneal optics, mostly by new tectonic classification and detection of positive serology. The time of enucleation was 3.77 ± 2.18 hours and preservation was 6.86 ± 6.10 hours. The most frequent causes of death were external causes, followed by diseases of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive and genitourinary systems. The main indication for transplantation was bullous keratopathy, followed by keratoconus and corneal perforation. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the existence of factors associated with quality of corneas by BTOC as age, time between enucleation and preservation and cause of death. The main indication for transplantation was bullous keratopathy. .

ABSTRACT

Objetive: The purpose of this study is to map the serological profile of candidates to corneal donation at Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre, identifying the percentage of disposal by serology and the marker involved. Methods: There have been analised – retrospectively – the results of serology of all corneal donors, made between the period of 1st january 2006 and 31st december 2012. Data analised were related to age, gender and the results of serology pertinent to viral markers (HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HCV and anti-HIV), these, determined by immunosorbent tests (ELISA). Results: In the period of the study, there were 2476 corneal donors at the institution, with a major incidence on the male gender, on an average of 58.7 years old. 23% of retention because of serological unfitness was also identified, that is, 570 samples were non-negative to any of the used tests. The marker anti- HBc was the most prevalent on the studied population, followed by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Conclusion: From the data found through this study, it is essential to have the participation of an efficient service on the serological evaluation of the candidates to corneal donation, once the security of the receptor must be taken into consideration in a population of donors with 23% of unfitness prevalence, in which the most prevalent marker is the one of Hepatits B. .


Objetivo: O intento deste desígnio é mapear o perfil sorológico dos candidatos a doação de córneas na Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre, identificando o percentual de descarte por sorologia e o marcador envolvido. Métodos: Foram analisados – retrospectivamente – os resultados da sorologia de todos os doadores de córneas compreendidos entre 01 de janeiro de 2006 a 31 de dezembro de 2012. Foram avaliados os dados de idade, sexo e os resultados da sorologia pertinentes aos marcadores virais (HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HCV e anti-HIV) determinados por testes imunoenzimáticos (ELISA). Resultados: No período coberto pelo estudo, houve 2476 doadores de córneas na instituição, com maior ocorrência do sexo masculino e média de 58,7 anos de idade. Foram verificados 23,0% de retenção por inaptidão sorológica, ou seja, 570 amostras mostraram-se não-negativas para qualquer dos testes empregados. O marcador anti-HBc foi o mais prevalente na população aferida, seguido pelo vírus da hepatite C (HCV) e pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV). Conclusão: Diante dos dados encontrados por este estudo, torna-se decisiva a participação de um serviço eficaz no tangente à avaliação sorológica dos candidatos à doação de córnea, uma vez que a segurança do receptor deve ser considerada numa população de doadores com prevalência de retenção por inaptidão sorológica de 23,0%, donde o marcador mais prevalente é o de hepatite B. .
