title: Increasing violent deaths and organ transplantation in Brazil: is there a parallel?
abstract: Mortality from violent causes has significantly increased in Brazil, as well as the number of deceased-donor organ transplantation. Although the increase in the number of transplants correlates with higher organ availability, through the increase in potential donors, this is not the unique aspect to be considered. The effective and articulated action of transplantation network seems to be decisive to this outcome.
