5. 3. Blood donors' long-term health : implications for transfusion safety

   Author : Gustaf Edgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Epidemiology; hemovigilance; neoplasms; mortality; blood donors; blood transfusion; transfusion safety;

   Abstract : Continuous attention to transfusion safety through improvement of disease screening and donor selection has succeeded in reducing the risks of transfusion transmitted disease to practically immeasurable levels. Despite this progress, surprisingly little is known about disease occurrence among blood donors and whether there are possible long-term effects of repeated whole-blood or apheresis donation.
