This report contains EDTA Registry data concerning transplant co-ordination services. It is a summary of the results of a special questionnaire mailed in 1989 to all renal transplant centres known to the EDTA Registry in Europe and Mediterranean countries. The response rate to the questionnaire was 86%. A transplant co-ordination service was available in more than 70% of the centres. The larger the transplant activity of a centre, the greater was the likelihood of a co-ordinator service being available. The educational background of the transplant co-ordinator was most commonly that of nurse. More than 70% of the centres had one or two transplant co-ordinators. A service shared by several centres was fairly common in the United Kingdom and France. The most important duties and activities appeared to be the organisation of transportation of donor teams and organs, giving feedback to the donor hospital's staff, and providing information to the public regarding organ donation.
本报告包含 EDTA 注册处有关器官移植协调服务的数据。这是对 1989 年寄给 EDTA 注册处已知的欧洲和地中海国家所有肾脏移植中心的特别问卷的结果总结。对该问卷的答复率为 86%。超过 70%的中心提供器官移植协调服务。一个中心的移植活动越大，提供协调服务的可能性就越大。移植协调员的教育背景通常是护士。超过 70%的中心有一到两名移植协调员。在联合王国和法国，由几个中心共享服务相当普遍。最重要的职责和活动似乎是组织供体团队和器官的运输，向供体医院的工作人员提供反馈，并向公众提供有关器官捐赠的信息。
