Proportions of samples according to the time after the index donation divided by serostatus

*Results obtained using the anti-HEV ELISA Kit from the manufacturer Euroimmun

**In case of an unexpected serology (IgM+ six months and longer, no IgG at readministration or IgG− after more than six months) the result was checked with a second anti-HEV ELISA Kit results obtained using the Mikrogen or Wantai ELISA. Results were determined based on two matching results (2:1 rule)
