We aimed to establish the accuracy of health information known at the time of donation decisions, by comparing the perceived cancer diagnoses in donor logs with verified diagnoses from linked health records. Secondly, we aimed to identify any missed donor opportunities (suitable donors who were declined) and excess-risk donors (unsuitable donors who were accepted). Finally, we aimed to evaluate potential strategies to avoid missed donor opportunities through support in following clinical guidelines, improving quality of available information, and varying risk tolerance thresholds.
