- W2068227511 abstract "Purpose. Pennsylvania Act 102 implemented in March 1995 required all acute care hospitals in Pennsylvania to routinely refer all deaths to the Organ Procurement Organization for determination of suitability for organ/tissue donation. This study analyzed the effect of the law on eye donation. Methods. Retrospective analysis of the total number of referrals and the actual number of eye donations from 62 hospitals in Pennsylvania to the Lions Eye Bank of Delaware Valley was performed for the years 1993 to 1998. Information gathered included donor's age, gender, race, cause of death, referring institution, and result of referral. Results. From 1993 to 1998, the total numbers of referrals were 988, 1,647, 8,101, 21,123, 21,783, and 22,987, and the numbers of donors were 570, 574, 660, 644, 594, and 568, respectively. The increase in the number of donors after implementation of the law was not commensurate with the number of referrals. This was caused by a disproportionate increase in the number of referrals older than 70 years of age (from a mean of 33% to 52%), which exceeded the donor age limit of 69 years, and also to a lower family consent rate (from a mean of 48% to 24%). Conclusions. Well-designed state legislation with proper implementation greatly increased hospital referrals for eye donation. However, there was only a small increase in the number of eye donors because many of the referrals were beyond the acceptable upper age limit for eye donation. A small increase in the donor age limit would increase the number of eye donations without having to expand the potential donor pool. Education of the public may help to improve the family consent rate." @default.
