“…[9][10][11][12] Prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Qatar is 624 patients per million population with an incidence of 202 patients per million population per year. 13 Moreover, in Qatar, the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, the commonest cause of ESRD, increased [13][14][15] from 26% to 48% between 1998 and 2006.…”

We evaluated the prevalence, predictors, and outcome of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) among hemodialysis (HD) patients (n = 252) in a prospective study (3-year follow-up) conducted in Qatar. Those with PAD (n = 97; 38.5%) were older and more likely to be males and to have diabetes mellitus, prior coronary artery disease (CAD), or cerebrovascular disease. Diabetic retinopathy was an independent predictor of PAD (adjusted odds ratio: 2.7; P = .004). Women had a higher mortality. Three-year all-cause mortality was high in the PAD group (adjusted hazard ratios [HRs] 2.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.55-5.51). Other predictors of mortality were age (HR 1.06; 95% CI 1.04-1.10), number of vascular access (HR 2.3; 95% CI 1.04-5.01), and prior CAD (HR 1.8; 95% CI 1.05-3.49). Prevalence of PAD was high among HD patients. Early detection of PAD as well as diabetic retinopathy is of value in identifying an even higher risk population among HD patients.

“…The association of DR and microalbuminuria and nephropathy became an interesting research field 10 . Diabetic nephropathy is the commonest cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Qatar and its prevalence increased from 30.6 % in 2001 to 48% in 2006 [11][12][13] . We have recently reported high prevalence of renal impairment among diabetic patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome 14 .…”

“…The DDA established a new ethical framework for practice based on WHO guidance and the Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism (Martin and Fadhil 2014 ).The first liver transplant was performed then in 2011 (Khalaf et al 2013 ). High prevalence of chronic and end-stage diseases raised the demand of transplantable organs; however, shortage of supply of organs still remain crucial (Khalaf et al 2013 ; Rashed and Aboud 2004 ). In addition, issues in donor identification, reporting, diagnosis, management, documentation, and obtaining consent for donation led to underutilization of transplantable organs (Khalaf et al 2013 ).…”

“…The qualitative component of this research project was focus group discussions among the healthcare workers which aimed to understand the factors influencing organ donation among the general population they interact with during their professional life. The results revealed that lack of awareness and information about the process of organ donation acts as main barrier for both deceased and living organ donation (Rashed and Aboud 2004 ). The quantitative part of the project involved cross-sectional survey among the general population to understand the knowledge, awareness, and practice among them.…”

Knowledge and Willingness for Organ Donation in the Middle Eastern Region: A Meta-analysis

et al. 2019

Medical advancements over the past decades brought organ transplantation as a definitive therapy for different end-stage organ failure. However, non-availability of organs required for transplantation is a major challenge worldwide. We aimed to determine the knowledge and willingness to donate organs in various populations and settings in the Middle Eastern region. Literature searches were conducted on PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Google scholar electronic databases. Different combinations of search terms such as "organ donation"; "knowledge", "awareness"; "beliefs", "willingness"; and "attitude" along with the country names were used. Additional searches using reference lists of studies and review articles were conducted. Data were extracted using standardized excel form and pilot tested. Three authors independently abstracted the data using a data collection form. Results from different studies were pooled for the analysis when appropriate. The search yielded 1806 articles; 1000 duplicates and review articles were excluded, and a further 792 articles not relevant were excluded. Finally, 14 original studies met the inclusion criteria. Total pooled sample size for assessing knowledge was 6697 and for willingness was 8714. Pooled overall knowledge regarding organ donation was 69% with a 95% CI [64.5, 73.5]. Pooled overall willingness to donate organ was 49.8% with a 95% CI [41.3, 58.4]. Knowledge about organ donation and willingness to donate organs varies in different population and settings in the Middle East. These in fact are linked to multiple social factors ultimately leads to 'consent' for donating organs by a potential donor. Family's influence; religious, traditional and spiritual beliefs; and status of ethnic, minority, and immigrant populace are the important determinants of the decision for organ donation. Understandings on social determinants in organ donation remain crucial and should be addressed while developing policies and organizational developments.
