Cadaveric DonorsPer Million Population • = dead people / living people • Odd index • Measure of the offer of donors to living people • Affected by: • Willingness to donate • Incidence and mortality of certain pathologies with high potentiality of evolution to brain-death • Efficiency of the Donation System
Deaths < 80 pmp Source: WHO Mortality Database

Conclusions • A new indicator has been created • That better describes the efficiency of the Donation Systems in procurement • Is independent from the differences in mortality among different countries • And shows a positive evolution in all studied countries, despite a flat performance in donation rates
