Abstract
Introduction: Adverse events of blood donation are unexpected events that occur at any stage in the blood donation process. This study aimed to analyze the frequency, types, and risk factors associated with adverse events in donors at the Blood transfusion unit of the Indonesian Red Cross, Makassar.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2019 to December 2021. Participants who suffered adverse events at the Indonesian Red Cross, Makassar blood transfusion unit were collected. The variables of this study include gender, age, donation status, blood type, weight, pre-donation blood pressure, and adverse events of the donor. Data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Gamma, Somers'd, and Spearman Rho test (p<0.05).
Results: 135 participants experienced adverse events. The incidence of adverse events in this study was 0.14%. Donors who experienced adverse events were primarily male (51.1%). The mean age was 28.81±8.68 years. Adverse events were primarily found in donors with blood type O rhesus D positive, first-time donors weighing 45 – 65 kg, and normal/prehypertensive blood pressure. The vasovagal reaction was the most common adverse event. In statistical analysis, there was no significant effect of risk factors on the incidence of adverse events (p>0.05). There was also no significant correlation between risk factors and the incidence of adverse events (p>0.05).
Conclusions: There was no significant effect or correlation between risk factors and the incidence of adverse events in donors.
