Abstract

Method to evaluate the loss of donors in the provinces of the Argentine Republic and establish policies that increase procurement

The lack of donors increases the time on the waiting list, worsening quality of life, costs to the health system, etc.
Increasing the generation of donors in cerebral circulatory arrest requires precise policies that identify where in the donation process there are failures that cause them.
Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world, with great geographic, cultural and health diversity, access to transplant is guaranteed for all its inhabitants.
Once captured by the donation and transplant system, at the expense of an efficient national computer system and a robust regulatory framework, the information of each potential donor is complete and accessible. However, there is an undetermined number of patients with serious neurological injuries, potential donors who, for various reasons, are not captured by the health system to transform them into organ donors if appropriate.
Determining the causes of such losses in such a large and heterogeneous country is a challenge. A regional and provincial evaluation system has been developed based on epidemiological and bibliographic data that allows identifying in the different regions and provinces the failures of the local donor generation system, determining the number of donors lost at each step of the donation process and their Causes.
Once these failures are identified, they are classified according to the loss of donors generated, and corrective measures are established.
