“…Contact was made with donation and transplant experts in 7 countries (Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Netherlands, Spain, and the USA). It was agreed that the issues described in the UK were often present in these other countries—further collaborative work is planned [ 9 ]. The following key similarities were noted: • Maximising utilisation potential.…”

The Department of Health and Social Care in England established an Organ Utilisation Group, to collate and analyse evidence regarding the organ transplantation care pathway, make recommendations on how to reduce inequity of access, make the best use of available resources, and drive innovation in organ transplantation. The group consulted with national and international experts and stakeholders, sought views from service providers across the transplant care pathway, and heard from over 600 people, including over 250 patients, carers, and donors. The group uncovered new evidence about where improvements are needed—particularly in relation to patient experience and inequities in access. The final report suggests a new direction for organ transplantation services in the United Kingdom, with action required at local, regional, and national levels. Ultimately, it is expected to increase transplant activity through increased organ utilisation and improve patient experience, outcomes, and empowerment whilst also supporting the transplant clinical community.

Objective. To obtain a comprehensive overview of organ donation, organ utilization, and discard in the entire donation process in Colombia. Methods. A retrospective study of 1 451 possible donors, distributed in three regions of Colombia, evaluated in 2022. The general characteristics, diagnosis, and causes of contraindication for potential donors were described. Results. Among the 1 451 possible donors, 441 (30.4%) fulfilled brain death criteria, constituting the potential donors pool. Families consented to organ donation in 141 medically suitable cases, while 60 instances utilized legal presumption, leading to 201 eligible donors (13.9%). Of those, 160 (11.0%) were actual donors (in whom operative incision was made with the intent of organ recovery or who had at least one organ recovered). Finally, we identified 147 utilized donors (10.1%) (from whom at least one organ was transplanted). Statistically significant differences were found between age, sex, diagnosis of brain death, and donor critical pathway between regions. A total of 411 organs were transplanted from 147 utilized donors, with kidneys being the most frequently procured and transplanted organs, accounting for 280 (68.1%) of the total. This was followed by 85 livers (20.7%), 31 hearts (7.5%), 14 lungs (3.4%), and 1 pancreas (0.2%). The discard rate of procured deceased donors was 8.1%. Conclusions. About one-tenth of donors are effectively used for transplantation purposes. Our findings highlight areas of success and challenges, providing a basis for future improvements in Colombia.
