Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Cornea donation consent is frequently hindered by logistical challenges preventing face-to-face family interviews.
  • Effective strategies are needed to overcome barriers in obtaining consent for organ donation.
  • Hospital coordinators play a crucial role in the donation process.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of telephone contact as a method for obtaining consent for cornea donation.
  • To compare the success rates of telephone versus face-to-face interviews in securing cornea donation consent.

Summary:

  • A prospective study involved 334 families over 21 months, with 57.5% contacted via telephone and 42.5% in person.
  • Cornea donation consent was achieved in 66.5% of cases.

  • Telephone consent yielded a 55.2% acceptance rate, while face-to-face interviews had an 81.6% acceptance rate (p<0.001).

    • Impact:

    • Telephone interviews are a viable and effective method for obtaining cornea donation consent, especially when in-person contact is not feasible.
    • This approach significantly contributes to organ procurement, enabling nearly half of the hospital's cornea donations.
    • The findings support integrating telephone consent into standard cornea donation protocols.
