The shortage of solid organs for transplantation in Hong Kong: part of a worldwide problem.
OBJECTIVE To review the factors involved in determining the availability of solid organs for transplantation in Hong Kong and to identify methods that have been used in other countries to increase organ donation rates. DATA SOURCES Medline and non-Medline search of the relevant English literature, local data, and personal experience. STUDY SELECTION Articles describing approaches to solid o...
متن کاملA Potential Solution to the Shortage of Solid Organs for Transplantation.
In the United States, the majority of deaths occur unexpectedly, outside hospitals or in emergency departments.1 Rarely do these deaths provide opportunities for organ donation. In Europe, unexpected deaths provide substantial numbers of transplantable organs through uncontrolled donation after circulatory determination of death (UDCDD).2 UDCDD considers decedents candidates for donation even w...

متن کاملSelling 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 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...
