2 Summary Why to create a brain bank in Brazil? Objectives Procedures Results

3 Why to create a Why to create a brain bank in Brazil?

4 Demographics of Aging in Brazil Life expectancy in Brazil (in years) MALE FEMALE

5 393% From: Ferri CP, Prince M, Brayne C et al. (2003) Global prevalence of dementia: a Delphi consensus study. The Lancet 366:

6 Objectives

7 Started in October 2003 multidisciplinary and multi institutional group based on the University of Sao Paulo Medical School for studies focused on brain aging

8 To perform a large number of autopsies of elderly individuals; the donors come to autopsy through a general autopsy service specific dissection protocols The collected cases should comprise a large number of non demented subjects a vast spectrum of pathologies related to aging brain To provide high quality material to a multidisciplinary research network unraveling multiple aspects of aging brain processes and related neurodegenerative diseases.

12 AUTOPSY SERVICE (SPAS) UNIVERSITY OF SAO PAULO Sao Paulo city ~ 11 million inhabitants Autopsies are compulsory for those with no established cause of death SPAS is the site of autopsies of all natural deaths ~ 13,000 autopsies per year All autopsies complete and documented, are performed by a certified pathologist 24/7 Number of employees Pathologists 12 Technicians 48 Administrative staff 30 Total 90

18 Ethical Issues BBBABSG s procedures are approved by the Ethical Board of USPMS the Brazilian Federal Health Department. A voluntary Informed Consent Form (ICF) is obtained by the interviewer and must signed by each next of kin before any procedure. The ICF can be withdrawn at any time from the study. If any procedure is refused by the NOK, the case is not banked. All the material is anonymous and coded Specimen identification can be retrieved in case of legal or public health requirements, according to Brazilian regulations.
