ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe and detail the epidemiological profile of corneal donors in the Eye Bank of the General Hospital of Cholula. In addition to knowing the criteria for obtaining, selecting and including donors, knowing the epidemiological characteristics that affect the viability of corneal tissue for transplant purposes. Material and methods: In the Eye Bank of the General Hospital of Cholula, the descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study was carried out, including the revision of the database with the information of the corneal tissue donors registered during the period between June-November of year 2019. The following variables were taken into account: age, sex, serology, generating hospital, comorbidities and cause of death of the donor. Results: It was observed that of the 33 donors registered in the database, 14 (42%) correspond to feminine donors and 19 (58%) to the masculine gender. The average age of the corneal tissue donor at the Cholula General Hospital was established to be 58 years. After the percentage analysis, the most frequent cause of death in the donor was cerebrovascular diseases, specifically CVD in 10 (31%) of cases. Systemic arterial hypertension led the way in terms of comorbidities within the donor population. The number of tissues analyzed by the generator hospital during the mentioned period was recorded, leaving the General Hospital Zone 20 first with the highest percentage of productivity. Regarding the final destination of the tissues, it was determined that 82% managed to be transplanted successfully. Conclusion: The epidemiological profile that characterized the corneal tissue donor in the eye tissue bank of the General Hospital of Cholula were male donors, between the ages of 50 and 80, with systemic arterial hypertension, being the most frequent cause of death were the vascular brain events.REFERENCES
