Evolution of Organ Donation Consent, Retrospective Data on Potential Organ Donors

Identifying the best practices to obtain consent for organ donation involves several strategies. This retrospective analysis of the activity in the field of organ donation identifies the most critical impediments, of which the refusal of families to donate is one of the most frequently encountered. Our main aim was to determine the factors that negatively influence the activity of organ and tissue donations from brain dead donors and to summarize the total number of potential and actual deceased donors, their yearly characteristics, and the organ and tissue donation types performed.
