Patients and Families

The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients provides information about transplant outcomes and transplant programs that is useful for patients and their families. While much of our work focuses on statistical research that helps shape organ allocation policy and health care practices, we also report statistics for patients. For example, we report on outcomes for patients who are on the waiting list and for patients who undergo transplants, and we report how these statistics differ for different transplant programs.

SRTR information of interest to patients and families:

  • Transplant Program-Specific Reports provide statistics to describe individual transplant programs at hospitals across the United States. These statistics reflect outcomes for patients who are on the waiting lists and for patients who undergo transplants, taking into account patient backgrounds and disease severity. Program-Specific Reports give patients, their families, and members of the general public access to the performance measures used by medical payers and regulatory agencies.
  • Annual Reports provide extensive annual statistics related to transplant issues and outcomes nationwide, including outcomes for patients who are on the waiting lists and for patients who undergo transplants. The reports also review treatment characteristics, and detailed data tables focus on posttransplant Survival Rates.
  • Annual Report chapters examine issues specific to each organ, such as current trends and how new treatments may affect outcomes. Some chapters include an overview targeted to a broad audience.

The SRTR provides statistical information that can be useful for patients and families. Your doctor should be your first source of information about the transplant process itself. Additional information is available from the following sources:
