O Coordenador Estadual de Transplantes na Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Santa Catarina e doutorando do CESS/COPPEAD, Joel de Andrade, e o coordenador administrativo do CESS/COPPEAD, Professor Kleber Figueiredo, publicaram um artigo em co-autoria no journal internacional Transplantation Proceedings . O artigo, intitulado “Impact of Educational and Organizational Initiativas in Organ Donation in a Southern Brazilian State in the Last Decade”, trata do impacto de iniciativas educacionais e organizacionais na doação de órgãos. Tal estudo foi realizado com base na experiência de Santa Catarina e teve como objetivo demonstrar os efeitos da adoção dessas medidas na doação de órgãos no estado. Através dessa pesquisa, os autores apontaram que há uma relação positiva entre iniciativas educacionais e melhorias na identificação de potenciais doadores. Isso, associado ao controle da perda de parada cardíaca e ao aumento do consentimento familiar, trouxe melhorias significativas para a doação de órgãos.

“Impact of Educational and Organizational Initiativas in Organ Donation in a Southern Brazilian State in the Last Decade”
Abstract
Background. The unbalance between the demand and supply of organs for transplant is a universal phenomenon. This study shows Santa Catarina’s experience with educational and organizational initiatives in the states’s transplant system to describe the result of such actions in increasing donation rates.
Methods. This is a before and after study. Medical data on potential organ donors, listed in the Santa Catarina Transplant Registry between January 2004 and December 2017, analyzed. This 13-year period was divided into 3 phases . Phase 1, from 2005 to 2007, corresponds to the organization of the program wihtout specific measures. Phase 2, from 2008 to 2011, is associated with theoretical/practical training on family interviews. Phase 3, from 2012 to 2017 , is related to the implementation of a protocol for the management of potential deceased donors.
Results. Referrals grew from 35.1 per million population (pmp) (phase 1) to 49.4 pmp (phase 1) and 74.0 pmp (phase 3), translating into a 110.8% (P<.001) increase. Lack of family consent dropped from 39.8% to 27.8% in phase 3, a global reduction of 30.1% (P<.001). Loss of donors to cardiact arrest were reduces from 51.9% to 23.3% to 12.2%. Effective donors, which varies from 12.0 pmp to 20.0 pmp and 32.7 pmp, increased by 172.5% (P<.001).
Conclusions. This study demonstrates the positive association between articulated educational initiatives and improvements in potential donors’ identification, brought abou significantly better results in organ donation.
