[EXTRACTO] Chile es un país de 17 574 003 personas y durante el año 2020 hubo solo 141 donantes efectivos acorde al Sistema Integrado de Donación y Trasplante. En 2019, la tasa nacional de donantes fue de 10,4 por millón de habitantes, siendo inferior con respecto a países vecinos como Uruguay (22,86), Argentina (19,6) y Brasil (18); y más inferior aún a países como España (49,61) o Estados Unidos (36,88) (1). En los años 2020 y el 2021 los números continuaron deteriorándose y Chile reportó una tasa de donación de órganos de 7,2 y 7,4 por millón de habitantes respectivamente. Respecto a la mortalidad en lista de espera, datos chilenos muestran una mortalidad de 17% en pacientes esperando pulmón y hasta un 32% hígado (1). Esta mortalidad es elevada, y la cifra real podría ser incluso mayor si se consideran pacientes retirados de la lista de espera antes de fallecer (producto de la progresión de su enfermedad y la perdida de ventana de oportunidad para trasplante).

We have evaluated 696 samples (488 swabs and 208 urine specimens) with the cobas 4800 (c4800) CT/NG Test for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in swab and urine specimens. c4800 results were compared with those obtained from COBAS AMPLICOR (CAM) CT/NG Test. Discordant results were reanalyzed with the MultiNA system and compared with clinical data. For C. trachomatis detection by both methods, we obtained 93.8%, 100%, 100%, and 99.1% for sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values, respectively. For urine specimens analyzed in c4800, our results were 96.6%, 100%, 100%, and 99.4%, respectively. For N. gonorrhoeae detection, swab results were:88.0%, 100%, 100%, and 99.4%. For urine specimen, results obtained were 100%, 100%, 100%, and 100%. Reanalyses were all concordant between both methods. c4800 results were comparable with those obtained with the CAM system. We had an excellent correlation between swab and urine specimens analyzed by c4800.
