Adverse Events Reporting Systems in Cells, Organs, and Tissues Donation and Transplantation: Scoping Review

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to map adverse events reporting systems in cells, organs, and tissues donation and transplantation, including the terms applicable in each system and scientific literature.

Methods: This was a scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute method. A search strategy in 3 phases was used, and searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, LILACS, Scholar Google, and government and organ donations and transplantation associations' sites during June and August 2021. Data collection and analysis were independently made by 2 researchers. The scoping review protocol was registered.

Results: Twenty-four articles and other materials were selected for data collection. Eleven reporting systems were analyzed, and terms were identified.

Conclusions: Adverse reporting systems in cells, organs, and tissues donation and transplantation were mapped. The main features are presented, which can help develop new and better systems, with an important discussion about the terms used.
