Abstract
As part of the TLJ2.0 organised by the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT), our working group surveyed transplant professionals’ attitudes towards expanding the donor pool, barriers and interventions to overcome these. The survey was posted for three weeks in July–August, 2020, via the ESOT’s social media platforms. A total of 135 participants, consisting mainly of surgeons (34%), transplant coordinators (30%), physicians (15%) and intensivists (4%) completed the survey (Table 1). Most respondents worked in the field for >20 years (34%), 6–10 years (20%) or 11–15 years (19%). The main European countries of practice were the Netherlands (16%), the United Kingdom (10%), Italy (8%), Sweden (7%) and Spain (4%) (Q1–3). History of cancer (Q4). The 88% felt that the history of leukaemia was not a contraindication to donate, although 15% suggested a multi-disciplinary team decision. Some stressed the need for explicit recipient consent (4%) or clearly stating the risks to the recipient (3%). Two respondents considered the history of leukaemia as a contraindication.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
