Sammanfattning
A study on 1233 deceased over 18 years-of-age taken to the Pathology Department, University Hospital, Linköping over a one-year period showed that 30% were present in the Donor Register. The Register has three alternatives: “Yes”, “Yes on certain conditions” and “No”. One third of the group had answered “Yes” to donation. The proportion of those registered increased with age. The proportion saying “No” to donation was highest among the elderly. Fewer women in the study group were positive to donation than men. The Register does not seem to mirror the attitude of the population at large where 80% have been shown to be positive to donation.
