Under contract with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) is charged with reporting on the performance of Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs). This webinar will cover the reports and tools the SRTR makes available to the OPOs. Key metrics will be reviewed, along with the statistical models used to adjust for donor characteristics. The Organ Yield Calculator will be highlighted, as well as new reports of transplant program organ offer acceptance patterns. Space is limited, pre-register for the event today:
Date/Time: Wednesday, August 23, 2017, 1 – 2 p.m. CDT.

Clinical Transplantation
We investigated associations of deceased donor kidney offer acceptance with likelihood of the kidney being discarded, cold ischemia time at transplant (CIT), and likelihood of the kidney being exported outside the donation service area (DSA). We used kidney offers from donors in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients July 1, 2015-June 30, 2016, and a stratified logistic regression to estimate odds ratios of acceptance for candidates waitlisted in a DSA.

Sensitized heart transplant candidates spend more time and have higher mortality on the waiting list. Although the calculated panel-reactive antibody (CPRA) value is used to assign allocation priority to kidney transplant candidates in the United States, the relationship between CPRA and outcomes on the heart transplant waiting list is unknown.
