Potential organ-donor supply and efficiency of organ procurement organizations.
The authors estimated the supply of organ donors in the U. S. and also according to organ procurement organizations (OPOs). They estimated the number of donors in the U. ⋯ Overall, donor efficiency for OPOs was 35 percent; the majority was between 30- and 40-percent efficient. Although there is room to improve donor efficiency in the U. S., even a substantial improvement will not meet the Nation's demand for organs.
