Abstract (AI)
In Poland, in 2002, the number of organ donors per one million inhabitants was 12.68, and was 8.9% higher than in 2001 (11.64/million). But still many potential organ donors are missed. The objective of this study was to identify the major causes of missed donors in a university hospital (600 beds) with a busy neurosurgery ward.
Key Findings
1
Despite this increase, many potential organ donors continued to be missed.
2
Poland’s organ donation rate increased from 11.64 to 12.68 donors per million inhabitants between 2001 and 2002, an 8.9% rise.
3
The hospital’s busy neurosurgery ward was a key setting for investigating missed donor recognition.
4
The study audited a 600-bed university hospital ICU to identify major causes of missed potential organ donors.
