| Core Tip |
The present study considers the impact of combination endocrine management on the number of solid organs donated in brain-dead organ donors. Specifically, we focused on the use of steroids alone or steroids and levothyroxine in organ donors of the trauma patient population from a single level 1 trauma center. We showed a significant association between a high yield of organs donated per donor and the use of combination hormone replacement therapy as compared to steroids alone. These data complement published literature on combination endocrine management and highlight the role of levothyroxine on the number of organs recovered per organ donor. |
