Effect of the Organ Donation Quality System on Donation Activity of Warsaw Hospitals.
BACKGROUND Like many other countries, Poland faces a shortage of transplantable organs despite implementing strategies to develop donation programs. Increasing the effectiveness of deceased organ donation programs requires the implementation of protocols and quality standards for the entire process. The aim of this study was to assess the organ donation potential in Warsaw hospitals (with and without implemented donation procedures) in the years 2017-2018, before the COVID-19 pandemic affected donation activity. The obtained results were compared with quality indicators established in the ODEQUS project and the European Commission project "Improving Knowledge and Practices in Organ Donation" (DOPKI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed of hospitalization and death causes (including deaths in the brain death mechanism) in the hospitals and intensive care units in 2017-2018. We divided 15 Warsaw hospitals into 2 groups: those with implemented quality programs for organ donation (n=4) and those without such programs (n=11). RESULTS Hospitals with procedures obtained significantly higher values than hospitals without procedures, but were lower than the values in DOPKI and ODEQUS. The success rate of the organ donation process after brain death recognition was comparable in all groups. The conversion rate to actual donors was 73% in hospitals with procedures compared to 68% in hospitals without procedures, significantly higher than in the 42% reported in the DOPKI project. CONCLUSIONS Low numbers of brain death declarations in Warsaw hospitals result from low recognition of deaths in the brain death mechanism. Implementing procedures at each hospital level will enable identification of critical points and comparison of solution outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Transplantation is one of the fast-developing journals open to all scientists and fields of transplant medicine and related research. The journal is published quarterly and provides extensive coverage of the most important advances in transplantation.
Using an electronic on-line submission and peer review tracking system, Annals of Transplantation is committed to rapid review and publication. The average time to first decision is around 3-4 weeks. Time to publication of accepted manuscripts continues to be shortened, with the Editorial team committed to a goal of 3 months from acceptance to publication.
Expert reseachers and clinicians from around the world contribute original Articles, Review Papers, Case Reports and Special Reports in every pertinent specialty, providing a lot of arguments for discussion of exciting developments and controversies in the field.
