abstract = "PURPOSE: To evaluate donor demographics, trends in donor tissue procurement and tissue storage over a long period.METHODS: A retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive analysis was undertaken of data from the Hamburg Eye Bank Data Base (HEB-DB) that had been collected between 1981 and 2010. Data on 54 parameters of cornea donors [including clinical history, age, death cause, gender and death-to-explantation interval (DEI)] and of cultivated corneas (endothelial quality and development in culture, cultivation period, microbiological contamination) were retrieved. These data were analysed statistically, focusing on the historical development of the eye bank.RESULTS: At the time of retrieval (June 2010), the HEB-DB contained data on 10 943 corneas (5503 donors). Most donors were men (65%) and had died from cardiopulmonary (n = 801)/cerebral (n = 261) failure or as the result of a polytraumatic accident/suicide (n = 602). Within these years, donor age, DEI and storage time increased. The percentage of stored corneas suitable for transplantation displayed a variable but increasing trend; in 2007, almost 75% of the stored corneas were transplanted. Between 1995 and June 2010, the median microbiological contamination rate was 5.3%. A change in the procurement procedure from enucleation to corneoscleral explantation in 2008 led to a briefly increased contamination rate.CONCLUSION:   Donor demographic data run parallel to the general demographic development. Our analysis indicates a dynamic development of the eye bank over the last 30 years and emphasizes the need for an active quality management in coping with the challenges of modern eye banking.",
