Multivariate analysis of the factors affecting attitude toward living liver donation among workers in surgical services in Spanish, Mexican, and Cuban hospitals.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION:Current liver donation rates are insufficient to cover transplant needs. Therefore, it is essential to promote living liver donation (LLD) given the ever decreasing morbidity and mortality in the donor and the improving results in the recipient. LLD is becoming increasingly accepted. However, in the health care system, a percentage of the personnel are not in favor. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the attitude of personnel in surgical services in Spain and Latin-America hospitals toward LLD. MATERIALS AND METHODS:As part of the "International Collaborative Donor Project," a random sample was taken and stratified according to surgical service and job category in 10 hospitals; three in Spain, five in Mexico, and two in Cuba (n = 496). Attitude was evaluated using a validated survey that was completed anonymously and self-administered. RESULTS:Eighty-six percent (n = 425) of respondents were in favor of related living liver donation, and 30% (n = 147) were in favor if it were not related. According to country, 88% of the Mexican respondents were in favor of living liver donation, 85% of the Cubans, and 82% of the Spanish (P > .05). In the multivariate analysis of the variables with most weight affecting attitude toward LLD, the following significant associations were found: (1) a favourable attitude toward living kidney donation (odds ratio [OR] = 91; P < .001); (2) acceptance of a donated living liver if one were needed (OR = 11; P < .001); and (3) family discussion about donation and transplantation (OR = 2.581; P = .037). CONCLUSIONS:Attitude toward related living liver donation was very favorable among hospital personnel in Spanish and Latin American surgical services.
