Comparison of utilization rate and graft outcomes of corneas from cadaveric donors (CDs) versus multiorgan donors (MDs)
The donor source was a significant factor in determining the suitability of corneas for keratoplasty. Death preservation interval, cause of death, ECD, and processing had a modest influence on tissue suitability or quality. This data may help eye banks formulate policies that can maximize the procurement of corneas from MDs under HCRP.
