The selection of blood donors includes the assessment of the individual's health and medical history by using a donor questionnaire (DQ) in order to identify persons whose donation could present a health risk to recipients or to themselves. This way, DQs provide one layer of blood safety and contribute to the high safety profile of blood components currently available in Germany. This review reports the development of a new uniform questionnaire in Germany and its first evaluation using a field test approach. This development is set in context with the international experiences regarding donor selection and prospective challenges.
献血者的筛选包括通过使用献血者问卷(DQ)来评估个人的健康状况和病史,以便识别那些献血可能对受血者或其自身健康构成风险的人。通过这种方式,DQ为血液安全提供了一层保障,并有助于提高德国目前可用血液成分的高安全性。本综述报告了德国一种新的统一问卷的开发情况及其首次采用现场测试方法进行的评估。这一开发是结合国际上关于献血者筛选的经验和未来挑战进行的。
