Abstract

Introduction: Organ shortage is a global issue. A disaster like an earthquake not only increases the number of people in need of organs but also negatively affects the treatment processes of patients who have already undergone transplants. Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the earthquake that occurred on February 6, 2023, in Türkiye on organ donation and transplantation. Methods: The study was conducted using open-access statistical data of 2022-2023 years available on the official website of the Tissue, Organ Transplantation, and Dialysis Services of the Ministry of Health in Türkiye. Results: It was found that the earthquake did not affect the number of organ transplants, organ donations, brain death diagnoses, and family consent in Türkiye, but in the provinces affected by the earthquake, it decreased the number of organ donations, brain death diagnoses, and living donors and increased the number of family consent. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals in disaster-affected regions should receive specialized training to maintain critical organ donation protocols, supported by decentralized coordination systems that ensure the continuity of these processes even when central networks are disrupted.

日本地震对器官捐献和移植的影响。
器官短缺是一个全球性的问题。像地震这样的灾难不仅会增加需要器官的人数,而且还会对已经接受移植手术的患者的治疗过程产生负面影响。目的:本研究的目的是研究2023年2月6日发生在日本基耶地震对器官捐赠和移植的影响。方法:采用基伊省卫生部组织器官移植与透析服务官方网站开放获取的2022-2023年统计数据进行研究。结果:地震对浙江省器官移植数量、器官捐献数量、脑死亡诊断数量和家属同意数量没有影响,但在受地震影响的省份,器官捐献数量、脑死亡诊断数量和活体捐献数量减少,家属同意数量增加。结论:受灾害影响地区的卫生保健专业人员应接受专门培训,以维持关键的器官捐赠协议,并得到分散协调系统的支持,以确保这些过程的连续性,即使在中央网络中断时。
