- The limiting factor in organ transplantation is the availability of organs. Ongoing work to improve donation rates both at the public and the organizational level in donating hospitals is essential. We also think that encouragement of live donation is important, and the possibility of ABO incompatible transplantation has increased the number of LD transplantations. The one-year graft survival rate is excellent and focus has shifted towards achieving long-term results to reduce the attrition rate. There is also an increasing interest in studying and working to reduce comorbidities on a long-term basis and thus, improve survival rates and recipient quality of life.

- Scandiatransplant is the Nordic organ exchange organization that has existed for 41 years by a close collaboration between transplant centers. It has been valuable to ensure the optimal usage of available organs for transplantation. Analyzing the database for the past 15 years (1995-2009) revealed that the fraction of organ donors in the age category 60 to 90 years has increased considerably. The number of retrieved organs from deceased donors increased for kidney, liver, and lungs but only slightly for hearts. In the last time period, the mean number of organs retrieved per deceased donor counting only those having a recipient increased to 3.7 for younger donors and to 2.6 from the older group. In 2009, the STAMP (Scandiatransplant acceptable mismatch program) was launched to help highly immunized kidney patients. In 2009, kidney transplantations exhibited for Norway, 60 per million people (pmp); more than 40 pmp for Sweden and for Denmark; approximately 35 pmp for Finland; and more than 20 pmp for the living donor kidney transplantations in Iceland. The best year ever within Scandiatransplant with respect to total number of organ transplantations from deceased and living donors was 2009.
