  • Title: Organ procurement in Europe and the United States.
    Author: Prottas JM.
    Journal: Milbank Mem Fund Q Health Soc; 1985; 63(1):94-126. PubMed ID: 3889708.
    Abstract:
    Improvements in the medical/technical ability to transplant human organs have led to similar--yet importantly different--societal and organizational responses among the nations of the "Atlantic Community." The highly decentralized system of organ procurement in the United States yields greater numbers; centrally directed European systems reflect lower wastage rates. An emerging convergence of the two approaches promises significant benefits and efficiencies in organ transplantation.
