To assess how whole-blood donor adverse events influence subsequent blood donor return rates.
Evaluated the relationship between post-donation adverse events—specifically donor reactions, fatigue, and arm soreness—and subsequent donor return rates.
Donor reactions produced the strongest negative impact on blood donor return rates.
A synergistic negative effect on return rates occurred when donors experienced a reaction in combination with fatigue and a sore arm.

Implication

Observational study demonstrates reduced return rates among whole-blood donors experiencing adverse reactions, suggesting that mitigating post-donation symptoms could improve retention.

Abstract

Donor reaction had the most negative impact on the BDRR. There appears to be a synergistic effect between donor reaction, fatigue, and sore arm. Theoretically, amelioration of some AEs has the potential to improve BDRRs.
