Abstract
Collection of platelets by plateletpheresis is a relatively simple, safe and important adjunct to blood bank inventory for provision of platelet components. Recruitment of plateletpheresis donors is challenging since the selection criteria are more stringent compared to whole blood donation resulting in higher deferrals. The aim of the study is to assess the causes of deferral among donors who registered for plateletpheresis so as to ascertain the preventable and temporary deferrals for reinduction of these donors.
