| Abstract | OBJECTIVES--Quantify possible increases in cadaveric organ donation from intensive care units; identify major sources of regional variation. DESIGN--Confidential audit of all deaths in intensive care units in England in 1989 and 1990 and in Wales in 1990. SETTING--15 regional and special health authorities in England; Wales. PATIENTS--24,023 audited deaths in England; 682 in Wales. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Solid organ and corneal donor rates per 100 deaths; solid organ donor rate per 100 confirmed brain stem deaths; regional variation in (a) whether brain stem death was possible diagnosis, (b) general medical contraindications to donation, (c) relatives' refusal. RESULTS--Confirmed brain stem death accounted for 2389 (10%) audited deaths in England. In 438 (18%) there was a general medical contraindication to organ donation, and of 1829 (94%) families asked about donation, 557 (30%) refused. Data for England suggested that among potential donors the heart is suitable for transplantation in 65% of cases, the kidneys in 95%, the liver in 71%, the lungs in 31%, and the corneas in 92%. Reasons for any shortfall in achievement of transplantation varied with organ type. Solid organ and corneal donor rates per 100 deaths were 5.0 and 3.9 respectively in England and 4.3 and 2.1 respectively in Wales. The solid organ donor rate per 100 confirmed brain stem deaths was 50 in England and 41 in Wales. CONCLUSIONS--A 20% increase in number of cadaveric kidney donors from intensive care could be achieved by prompt testing for brain stem death and a quarter reduction in relatives' refusals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
