Study Title
Deferral for tattoos/piercings and subsequent donor return
Study Description
Research questions: What deferral criteria related to tattoos and piercings are in place? How many WB donors were deferred (and for how long) for tattoos/piercings in 2017? Of those deferred for tattoos/piercings, how many returned? How does this return rate
compare to that of donors deferred for other reasons or donors that are not deferred?
Study design: We aim to perform a meta-analysis on results obtained from several blood services internationally. To avoid issues regarding privacy violation, blood services will be requested to send their results on a population level instead of sending individual
donor data. These will then be meta-analysed to obtain a pooled result.
