Eye and Tissue donation has the capacity to transform lives, yet the vast majority of potential in-hospital donors are not recognised. Studies which describe the relative importance of specific units or wards in determining the size of the donor pool are limited. The aim of this study was to map the distribution of potential Eye and Tissue donors within the study hospital. A 12-month retrospective analysis of all patient deaths at the study hospital was undertaken. The ability to donate corneal, heart valve, bone and skin tissue was investigated. Patients were classified as potential donors if they met specific age criteria and had an absence of contraindications based on electronic database search. There were 985 deaths during the study period. Deaths occurred under the care of 26 separate clinical units, and within 28 unique wards and treatment spaces. Four hundred and forty nine (45.6%) patients were identified as potential eye or tissue donors. The majority of potential donors occurred in ICU, Emergency and palliative care units. Of the subset of 328 deaths ≤ 70 years, the frequency of potential tissue donors was 55% (n = 181). ED and ICU had significantly higher frequencies of potential donor than other wards (86 and 77%, p < 0.01). The current study has identified the ED, ICU and PCUs are being important sites for potential Eye and Tissue Donors within our hospital. These will provide an important focus for future interventions to improve the rate of eye and tissue donation.
