Measures to reduce iron deficiency are available that can be deployed on a standardized or,
increasingly, personalized basis. Blood centers, regulators, and donors should continue to …

Abstract Background and Objectives Blood banks use a haemoglobin (Hb) threshold before
blood donation to minimize donors' risk of anaemia. Hb prediction models may guide …

Background Genomic testing is already used by blood collection agencies (BCAs) to identify
rare blood types and ensure the best possible matching of blood. With ongoing …

This study examines how the institutional context informs the ways in which healthy
recipients relate to genomic information. Through focus group data, it considers the trend of …

Blood donors are at risk of iron deficiency anaemia. While this risk is decreased through
ferritin‐based deferral, ideally ferritin monitoring should also aid in optimising donation …

Background On‐site deferral for low hemoglobin (Hb) is common in most countries and
deferral rates commonly vary between 1% and 20%. Blood banks continuously strive to …

Background Iron supplementation (IS) improves blood donors' iron stores and allows more
frequent blood donation. Understanding the accuracy of self‐reported IS is helpful for …

Abstract Background and Objectives Personalized donation strategies based on
haemoglobin (Hb) prediction models may reduce Hb deferrals and hence costs of donation …

Abstract Background and Objectives On‐site haemoglobin deferral for blood donors is
sometimes necessary for donor health but demotivating for donors and inefficient for the …
