Table 3.
The mean of blood indexes studied among samples based on donation intervals in the Kurdistan Organization of Blood Transfusion station in 2007.
| Transferin Saturation (mean ± std d) | Serum Ferritin (mean ± std d) | Serum Iron (mean ± std d) | TIBC (mean ± std d) | MCV (mean ± std d) | Hb (mean ± std d) | (n) | Blood index Donation length of time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31.39±6.06 | 45.67±32.66 | 96.26±14.27 | 309.43±18.38 | 85.36±5.97 | 14.18±1.01 | 110 | One year and less |
| 30.05±7.11 | 48.49±30.44 | 93.01±16.35 | 314.42±25.17 | 84.58±5.79 | 14.03±1.00 | 149 | 13-24 months |
| 31.01±8.17 | 49.76±35.48 | 95.57±19.04 | 313.48±24.52 | 83.93±6.49 | 14.02±1.11 | 416 | 25-60 months |
| 30.55±7.13 | 52.63±39.64 | 94.12±16.47 | 312.61±24.02 | 84.59±5.90 | 13.89±1.07 | 506 | 61 months and more |
| 30.91±7.54 | 52.40±37.81 | 95.04±17.11 | 312.38±24.12 | 84.47±6.07 | 14.00±1.05 | 1181 | Total |
In a one-way ANOVA test, there was no significant difference between Hb (P = 0.09). MCV (P = 0.2), TIBC (P = 0.4). serum iron (P = 0.3), serum ferritin (P = 0.3), and transferin saturation (P= 0.5) among donors based on donation intervals. But an LSD test and couple comparison among groups showed donors with record of one year and less have significantly higher Hb rates than ones with records of 2-5 years (P = 0.05).
