Selling organs for transplantation.
The need for transplant organs has far outstripped the supply of available cadaveric organs. Hundreds of people on waiting lists, who could be saved by transplantation, die each year. This severe shortage has justified the extension of transplantation to the use of living donors, but there are still not enough organs to meet the need. This paper discusses the justification for changing policies...
متن کاملGetting More Organs for Transplantation.
The United States and most other nations suffer from a shortage of human organs for transplant. In the United States, over 120,000 people are on waiting lists for organ transplant and every year over 10,000 people die while waiting (Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network). There are a number of fronts on which research has made progress to address this shortage, but there is still signif...
متن کاملPotential availability of cadaver organs for transplantation.
OBJECTIVE To determine the potential number of cadaver kidney donors by applying defined donor criteria to people dying in hospital. DESIGN Prospective study of all deaths occurring in 21 hospitals from 1 September 1988 to 31 August 1989. Questionnaires were administered to medical and nursing staff and families of potential donors aged 1-69. SETTING Acute care hospitals in Gwent, South Gla...
متن کاملSimulating the allocation of organs for transplantation.
The demand for donated organs greatly exceeds supply and many candidates die awaiting transplantation. Policies for allocating deceased donor organs may address equity of access and medical efficacy, but typically must be implemented with incomplete information. Simulation-based analysis can inform the policy process by predicting the likely effects of alternative policies on a wide variety of ...
متن کاملProbability Model of Decision Making for Successful Transplantation of Non-Cadaveric Organs (RESEARCH NOTE)
Mathematical modeling based on a probabilistic approach for making decisions for organ transplantation can be successfully employed in cases when the choice of decisions can affect the results produced. In this study, the minimum probability of success required for organ transplantion in case of multi-donors is determined. The governing equations are constructed in terms of probabilities and so...
