Non ‐compliance to infectious disease deferral criteria among Hong Kong's blood donors
ConclusionThe non‐compliance rate of donors to deferral was high, although the ultimate infection risk might be small in the presence of universal screening. Simplification of questionnaires, focus on time‐limited deferral and a reduction of deferral items may improve the deferral mechanism without compromising blood safety.
