Abstract

Current risk-adjusted models used to predict donor heart utilization and cardiac graft survival from organ donors after brain death (DBDs) do not include donor critical care data. We sought to identify novel independent predictors of donor heart utilization and cardiac graft survival to better understand the relationship between donor management and transplant outcomes. This was a prospective observational study of DBDs managed from 2008 to 2013 by 10 organ procurement organizations. Demographic data, critical care parameters, and treatments were recorded at three standardized time points during donor management. The primary outcome measures were donor heart utilization and cardiac graft survival.
