Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Real-world data on care pathways leading to organ donation in Japan remain limited. The process of end-of-life care following catastrophic brain injury, including how and when donation is considered, and how patients are managed, has not been comprehensively described. In this multicenter prospective study, we aimed to examine the trajectory of end-of-life care, including the organ donation process, among patients with devastating brain injuries considered possible donors.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To clarify the factors and processes by which patients who are medically eligible for organ donation after brain death proceed to actual organ donation.
