PRE-CONGRESS WORKSHOP: SATS - Half Day
The Organ Allocation Workshop aims to bring together the South African transplantation community with the aim of creating a publicly accessible record outlining how organs are allocated from deceased donors in South Africa.
Pre-workshop work will be lead by a steering committee (please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to be included in this work) with the objective that each organ has a peer-reviewed medical journal published algorithm relevant to all the concerns and considerations for furthering access to life-saving transplantation and maximizing the potential of donation in the South African context.
Areas to be addressed include:
Waitlisting
Standard waitlisting listing criteria for each organ.
Standard waitlisting process.
Standard waitlist metrics to be reported monthly by each centre.
Priority listing criteria.
Piiority listing process.
Priority list metrics to be reported monthly.
Allocation
Allocation algorithm: Standard listing allocation
Priority listing allocation
Extended criteria donors
With specific attention to
Paediatric recipients, racial equity, highly sensitised individuals, higher surgical risk recipients, disadvantaged diagnoses (eg. HCC in liver allocation), blood type, height, weight / body mass index, prior transplant recipients, public and private, frailty (not age), citizenship, education, income, gender, urban versus rural, distance to transplant centre, donation service area
And importantly
Outcome follow-up of the gifted organs to allow review of allocation algorithm
Be a part of this important work to build transparency and trust in transplantation in South Africa.
