Description

  The present invention relates to a donor search server and a donor search method for searching a donor that matches a recipient who desires transplantation.

  Transplants that transfer a graft from a donor to a recipient may be effective in treating the recipient's illness or injury. Here, the transplant is not a narrow-sense transplant such as a visceral transplant or a tissue transplant, but a broad-sense transplant including blood transfusion and cerebrospinal fluid injection in addition to such transplant.

  In order to perform transplantation, it is necessary to find a donor having compatibility equivalent to that of the recipient (hereinafter sometimes referred to as donor suitable for the recipient).

  Suitability depends on the type of graft. For example, if the transplant is a blood transfusion (if the graft is blood), suitability is expressed in blood type (red blood cell type), and a donor with the same blood type as the recipient's blood type has been adapted to the recipient. Become a donor.

  In order to find a donor that matches the recipient, the recipient first informs the medical institution of his suitability (or investigates at the medical institution). Thereafter, the staff of the medical institution informs the donor management organization that manages the suitability of the donor of the suitability of the recipient. And the staff of the donor management organization regularly checked the suitability of the notified recipient with the suitability of the donor who is managing, and found a donor that matched the recipient.

  In the above-described method, since a lot of human intervention is required before the donor is discovered, the time taken to discover the donor is lengthened, resulting in a delay in transplantation. Since the delay in transplantation may be related to the life of the recipient, it has been strongly desired to shorten the time taken for discovery of the donor.

  Patent Document 1 describes a blood donation request e-mail transmission system capable of shortening the time taken to discover a donor regarding blood donation as an example of organ transplantation.

  In this blood donation request e-mail transmission system, applicant information including the donor's blood type and e-mail address is stored in a database. A recipient who wants to donate blood sends his blood type to the mail server. The mail server extracts the applicant information including the same blood type as the blood type transmitted from the recipient from the database. In addition, the mail server transmits a blood donation request to the email address of the donor. The donor who received the blood donation request goes to a medical institution and donates blood there.

Accordingly, the recipient can find a donor of the same blood type as the recipient without any manual intervention, and it is possible to shorten the time taken for the discovery of the donor regarding blood donation.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-126643

  In the case of transplantation in a narrow sense such as visceral transplantation or tissue transplantation, the compatibility is expressed by HLA (human leukocyte antigen) type of a plurality of loci (locus). Recipients and donors are equally compatible with each other if they have equivalent HLA types. In addition, the recipient and donor having the same HLA type means that the number of different loci among the plurality of loci of the HLA type of the recipient and the donor is 0 or less than a predetermined number. .

  If the invention described in Patent Document 1 is applied to organ transplantation in a narrow sense, HLA type is transmitted instead of blood type, and information on the applicant is extracted, even in narrow sense organ transplantation, until the discovery of the donor This time can be shortened.

  However, since there are so many types of HLA types, the number of people who have the same suitability as the recipient is very small.

  For this reason, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, even if the recipient transmits the HLA type, the applicant information including the HLA type equivalent to the HLA type is not always stored. Thus, the recipient may not be able to find a matching donor.

  In such a case, in the blood donation request e-mail transmission system described in Patent Document 1, the recipient transmits the HLA type many times over time to determine whether or not a donor suitable for himself has been registered. Must be confirmed.

  For this reason, it has the problem that it takes time and effort to find a donor that matches the recipient. Such a problem is not limited to organ transplantation in a narrow sense, but also occurs in organ transplantation in a broad sense when the recipient is a rare blood group (for example, Bombay type).

  An object of the present invention is to provide a donor search server and a donor search method that solve the above-described problem that it takes time to find a donor that matches a recipient.

  The donor search server according to the present invention receives identification information of a recipient who wishes to receive a graft and recipient suitability information indicating suitability of the recipient from the storage means and each of a plurality of registration terminals. Receiving means for receiving recipient information, donor identification information for permitting provision of the graft, and donor information including donor suitability information indicating suitability of the donor; and Each time recipient information is received, the recipient information is stored in the storage means, and every time the receiving means receives the donor information, the donor information is stored in the storage means. From the storage control means and the recipient information and donor information stored in the storage means, the recipient suitability information and the donor showing the same suitability to each other Including a repeat look management means the set of recipient information and donor information including compatibility information.

In addition, the donor search method according to the present invention includes a recipe including identification information of a recipient who wishes to receive a graft from each of a plurality of registration terminals and recipient suitability information indicating suitability of the recipient. Each time the recipient information is received, the recipient information is stored, and the donor's identification information permitting the donation of the graft and the suitability of the donor are indicated. Receiving donor information including donor suitability information, and storing the donor information each time the donor information is received,
From the stored recipient information and donor information, a set of recipient information and donor information including recipient suitability information and donor suitability information showing suitability equivalent to each other is repeatedly searched.
