Organ Utilisation Strategy Professor John Forsythe
UK Strategy – Taking Organ Transplantation to 2020 Targets for deceased donors and transplants Target figures to 2020
Age of UK deceased donors Age % of donors
Discard rates for kidneys from deceased donors, 2014 No. kidneys retrieved N= 2986 14754 2432 700 24% overall 19% overall % of retrieved kidneys not transplanted 10% overall Source: ONT – Spain data, OPTN - US data ANZ - Australia data, NHSBT - UK data ¹ 2012 data
Adult DBD kidney offer decline rates EXTENDED CRITERIA Offer decline rates vary from 36% at Leeds to 77% at Leicester STANDARD CRITERIA Offer decline rates vary from 24% at Leeds to 69% at Leicester
Adult elective liver offer decline rates DCD liver Offer decline rates vary from 23% at King’s college to 78% at Newcastle DBD liver Offer decline rates vary from 17% at Birmingham to 70% at Newcastle
Pancreas offer decline rates DCD pancreas Offer decline rates vary from 19% at Guy’s to 94% at Newcastle DBD pancreas Offer decline rates vary from 39% at Guy’s to 71% at Edinburgh and Newcastle
Adult heart offer decline rates Offer decline rates vary from 67% at Papworth to 90% at Newcastle and Harefield
Median waiting time to transplant Upper 95% confidence limit Median Lower 95% confidence limit 30 months UK average 14 months 43 months
Strategy • Length of donation-transplantation process • Support to use of higher risk donor organs • Local MDT process and challenge • Better information • DCD donor assessment • Use of Fast Track/Simultaneous offering www.odt.nhs.uk/odt
DBD donation process 10.5 hours longer
DCD donation process 8.5 hours longer
DBD retrieval operation start times Shift in time of day from 2-5 am to 6-12 am
Offering and retrieval planning DCD DBD
Post meeting • Stick to referral times • Delay once only • Delay for specified time as maximum • Night-time retrieval? • Streamline donor characterization…..
Reasons for retrieved organs not being transplanted (2015/16) KIDNEY N=276
Reasons for retrieved organs not being transplanted (2015/16) LIVER N=168
Donors with cod as drug overdose Drug overdose as COD includes deaths from polypharmacy, paracetamol overdose, and alcohol poisoning Slide courtesy of Sarah White, Sydney. Data from NHSBT, ANZOD and OPTN
Support • SaBTO advice • Aide memoire • Incidents and events • Consent
Example A Hepatitis C Patient with a UKELD score of 55 What will happen to 100 people like me post-registration
Reasons for decline We send monthly reports to all transplant centres detailing each offer they have received and whether they accepted or declined, with the reason for decline. We indicate whether the organ was transplanted elsewhere. These reports are used in transplant centre MDT meetings and lead to changes in practice.
Challenge • Advisory groups • Named patient allocation • Patient involvement/Consent
DCD donor assessment Actual donors of those referred: DBD 47% DCD 9%
DCD donor assessment • Review of evidence suggested: • Inconsistent practice by SNODs in handling of DCD referrals • Clinical donor criteria that never resulted in transplantation of donor organs • New DCD assessment • process agreed with • clinical support to • improve efficiency in the • DCD pathway
DCD donor assessment Potential DCD donors excluded on basis of past non-donation/tx: Regular review and dialogue with clinical community to ensure viable potential donors not missed (as novel technologies come into use)
DCD donor assessment 12 months data (Dec 2015-Nov 2016) DCD referrals 6182 Absolute contraindication? No 5019 81% Yes 1163 19% DCD exclusion? Yes 1550 25% No 3469 56% SNOD overrides 131 3600 - 58% of our referrals
DCD donor assessment 12 months data (Dec 2015-Nov 2016) DCD referrals 6182 Absolute contraindication? Screening call made to transplant centres No 5019 81% Yes 1163 19% Yes 1340 22% No 2260 37% DCD exclusion? Yes 1550 25% No 3469 56% Screening centre decision SNOD overrides 131 Not acceptable 936 – 70% Acceptable 404 - 30% 3600 - 58% of our referrals
Fast Track Offering Schemes • Fast track schemes are designed to maximise the utilisation of organs available for transplantation • Simultaneous offering to speed up allocation • Offers are sent to all eligible centres via SMS, pager or fax • Centres have 45 minutes to respond to the offer via telephone • No response is assumed to be a declined offer • More than one centre accepts - organ allocated to centre highest on list or rota
Trigger points for fast track offering Kidney deemed unsuitable Kidney 5 centres declined donor/organ reasons (3 DCD) Accrued 6hrs CIT (3hrs DCD, 12hrs multi-organ) Pancreas deemed unsuitable 4 centres declined donor/organ reasons (3 DCD) Pancreas removed Pancreas At or after cross-clamp the liver is declined/ not yet accepted Proposed: after 6 hrs of offering or 3 centres declined for same donor reason Liver At removal or already removed Heart and lungs To be removed within 90mins Organs retrieved Organs transplanted First organ offered Further details can be found in the organ allocation policies available at www.odt.nhs.uk/transplantation/guidance-policies/
Activity- transplanted of those fast tracked N fast tracked: 458 428 21 8 77 182 13 31 3% 0% 0% 15% 34% 37% 55% 63%
Introduction of Pancreas Fast Track Scheme Number of pancreases offered 6 times or more has reduced from 23% to 13% Number of offers
Simultaneous Offering • Higher risk donors eg viral risk • Scheme and response requires agreement • Organ specific
Reasons why donation did not proceed following consent/authorisation 6% 34 families 7% 7 families 15% families who withdraw because process too long 2015/16 data: 104 DBD families, 546 DCD families
Summary • Donors becoming more complex and offering taking longer • Many more organs offered than are ever accepted • High offer decline rate with wide centre variation • Reasons for decline reported to centres monthly for review • Much that can be done www.odt.nhs.uk/odt
