^a Although Greece is usually classified as opt-out, Morla-González et al. [24] consider it an opt-in system because organs cannot legally be removed without either the deceased’s consent or the family’s authorisation. However, to avoid confusion we will here follow the usual classification of Greece as opt-out
^b Slovenia cannot be clearly described as either opt-in or opt-out according to the definitions used by Morla-González et al. [24]. However, to avoid confusion we will here follow the usual classification of Slovenia as opt-out
