“…This fact is relevant due to the high economic impact that this specific population represents to the economy of a nation, leading to a loss of immeasurable value to society (13) . The average age of donors was 37.3 years, being lower than that found in other studies (6,9,10,(14)(15)(16) . We believe that it reflects a trend of large urban centers where youngsters are progressively more related to the various types of deaths associated with external causes, from crime to car accidents.…”

These authors show that only the tissue analysis makes it possible to rule out potential donors not only due to age (14,16,23,24) . Sometimes this small number of donors is justified by the specific type of the collection center of donor corneas (IML), and thus a bias of our sample may be demonstrated.…”

“…Also in relation to age, literature shows that the corneal tissue of elderly donors can suff er a greater loss of endothelial cells, which can compromise the fi nal result of transplants (6,12) . Corroborating another study (12) , fi ndings of this research show that of the 118 elderly donors, 240 corneas were captured, but only 131 corneas were eff ectively harnessed for transplantation.…”

“…Dentre as explicações para a influência do intervalo entre o óbito e a preservação e a qualidade da córnea, estão as possíveis alterações metabólicas ou até anatômicas da córnea durante esse período (5) . Al guns autores observaram que o intervalo entre o óbito e a preser vação pode estar associado à maior chance de defeito epitelial na córnea.…”
