Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Corneal tissue donors generally are those who suffered an injury to the brain or fatal trauma caused by stroke, vehicle/motorbike accidents, gunshot wounds, and drowning or cardiovascular death. In Brazil, the Distrito Federal (DF) Eye Bank, located within a trauma center hospital, and the Secretariat of Public Security have collaborated with the aim of increasing the overall number of cornea donations from fatal trauma victims. The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of cornea tissue for transplantation derived from trauma-related death. The records of eyes donated in the DF Eye Bank were analyzed retrospectively for the period from 2004-2013. We had 3388 cornea donors, the majority of which were between 21 and 30 years old (17.4%), which were derived from violent death (84.1%; P = .00) and were predominately male (73.5%). Among the donated corneas, 54.0% were used for optic purposes. Mechanical trauma caused by gunshot, stabbing or blunt force (23.7%), and road traffic injuries (11%) were the main causes of violent death. Another common cause of death was cardiovascular disease (26.3%). Donor tissue derived from violent death had no statistical interference on tissue suitability for transplantation (P = .06). Because of the large waiting lists, and waiting times for transplants, it is advisable to increase the available tissue from corneas donors derived from violent death through the implementation of this interagency model of collaboration and by the practicing of active tissue donor screening in trauma center hospitals.
