| Popis: | To assess the influence of donor, environment, and logistical factors on the results of virological testing of blood samples from cornea donors. Data from 670 consecutive cornea donors were analyzed retrospectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the influence of different factors on the results of virological testing of blood samples from cornea donors. The mean annual rate of donors with serology-reactive or not evaluable result was 14.8% (99 of 670) (range 11.9%–16.9%). The cause of donor death by cancer increased the risk of serology-reactive or not evaluable result (P = .0300). Prolonged time between death and post mortem blood removal was associated with a higher rate of serology-reactive or not evaluable result (P |
