“…The significant association of COB with consent rate, with family of potential donors born in Australia or New Zealand more likely to consent compared with those born in Asia, confirms findings in US and UK studies that the minority groups are less likely to consent . Although the numbers in the religion subgroups were small, it is noteworthy that the consent rate was lower among those of religious backgrounds other than Christian, consistent with existing literature showing minorities are less likely to consent .…”

“…An analogous development can be seen in the annual analyses of the potential for organ donation (National Potential Donor Audit, PDA) conducted by the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom. The clinical data of all patients who died in intensive care were analyzed to identify potential organ donors (13,14); the number of potential organ donations from brain-dead donors rose by 4.5% from 2010 to 2015 (15,16). Similarly, according to an analysis by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network in the USA, the number of potential organ donors in the USA is expected to rise by ca.…”

“…As part of this process a national potential donor audit was developed to identify the true potential for organ donation from dead donors, together with the reasons for non-donation 6. These data will identify where in the process, and for what reason, potential donors fail to become actual donors.…”

Objectives To determine the true potential for solid organ donation from deceased heartbeating donors and the reasons for non-donation from potential donors. Design An audit of all deaths in intensive care units, 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2005. The study was hierarchic, in that information was sought on whether or not brain stem testing was carried out; if so, whether or not organ donation was considered; if so whether or not the next of kin were approached; if so, whether or not consent was given; if so, whether or not organ donation took place. Setting 341 intensive care units in 284 hospitals in the United Kingdom. Participants 46 801 dead patients, leading to 2740 potential heartbeating solid organ donors and 1244 actual donors. Main outcome measures Proportion of potential deceased heartbeating donors considered for organ donation, proportion of families who denied consent, and proportion of potential donors who became organ donors. Results Over the two years of the study, 41% of the families of potential donors denied consent. The refusal rate for families of potential donors from ethnic minorities was twice that for white potential donors, but the age and sex of the potential donor did not affect the refusal rate. In 15% of families of potential donors there was no record of the next of kin being approached for permission for organ donation. Conclusions Intensive care units are extremely good in considering possible organ donation from suitable patients. The biggest obstacle to improving the organ donation rate is the high proportion of relatives who deny consent.
