The potential organ donor pool: international figures.

Abstract:

:By understanding the size and characteristics of the potential donor pool, the concentration and location of the potential donors and factors influencing low rates of donation, it is possible to identify opportunities to improve the organ donation system. The exact donor gap needs to be established for each hospital/area, as published figures do not necessary reflect local potential. Nevertheless, marked differences with respect to the minimum standards in the number, location, and characteristics of organ donors should be considered as suggestive of low performance. The first stage where potential donors are lost is the detection of people who can be diagnosed as brain dead and, hence, could be considered a potential organ donor. Improving the donor identification implies the development of donor detection programmes. That and other initiatives to improve the donation rate need to be started in hospitals after the assessment of the local potential and local factors specifically implicated in the local performance.
