To investigate the factors that may influence the successful corneal donation among adults in China.
This retrospective study was conducted in 2012. The eligible participants were all the adults registered in Nanjing Red Cross Eye Bank to donate their corneas after death during the period of 2001 and 2012. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to investigate the influence factors for successful donation, the outcome events.
Totally, 210 of 328 (64.0%) registered potential donors successfully donated their corneas after death. The mean (SD) age at registration was 64.7 (12.5) for all participants, with 65.5 (10.1) and 63.2 (15.8) for successful and unsuccessful donors, respectively. With multivariate logistic regression analysis, five factors, the willingness of donation, age, education level, residence area, and cause of death were identified to be associated with successful corneal donation.
The willingness of donation and some socio-demographic factors might substantially affect their successful donation after death for people who registered to donate corneas.
探讨可能影响中国成年人角膜成功捐献的因素。
本回顾性研究于2012年开展。符合条件的参与者为2001年至2012年期间在南京红十字眼库登记死后捐献角膜的所有成年人。应用多因素logistic回归模型研究成功捐献(结局事件)的影响因素。
在328名登记的潜在捐献者中,共有210名(64.0%)在死后成功捐献了角膜。所有参与者登记时的平均(标准差)年龄为64.7(12.5)岁,成功捐献者和未成功捐献者分别为65.5(10.1)岁和63.2(15.8)岁。通过多因素logistic回归分析,确定了五个与角膜成功捐献相关的因素,即捐献意愿、年龄、教育水平、居住地区和死亡原因。
对于登记捐献角膜的人来说,捐献意愿和一些社会人口学因素可能会极大地影响他们死后的成功捐献。
