The attached documents have been produced and published annually by EUROCET with the data collected by Competent Authorities for Tissues from European Member States (and some other Extra EU countries).
The following reports show calculations regarding the whole donation‐processing‐distribution-transplantation process of tissues of human origin starting from 2008.
The reports are divided into three main sections based on the competence of the data presented:
Procurement organization: this section includes three tables: one with the number of donors per type of donor (deceased heart‐beating donor, deceased non‐heart beating donor or living donor), one with data on donation per type of tissue (cornea, skin, heart valves, blood vessels, musculoskeletal, placenta, pancreas, adipose tissue, parathyroids and other tissue) and one with data on procurement per type of tissue.
Tissue Establishments: this section includes one table on processing, distribution and exchange, with the number of the different types of tissues processed, distributed nationally, received from and distributed to foreign countries (both of the EU and extra EU countries).
Organization responsible for human application: this section includes a table with data on transplantation for human application with data on the total number of transplant procedures, recipients and tissue transplanted, per each type of tissue.
Eurocet is the official data provider of the Newsletter Transplant, the EDQM/Council of Europe publication, which gives international figures on organ, tissue and cell donation and transplantation.
