Donation and Transplant System Explorer

This application aims to allow the user to explore various trends in the donation and transplantation system in the United States, either nationally or for a specific organ procurement organization (OPO) or transplant center. The trends are based on the most recent SRTR data and are updated monthly. The user can select various metrics to be plotted over time, with stratifications available for organ types and specific subgroups of interest. Special attention is drawn to the dates of allocation policy changes and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please reach out to us by email if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

The figure below provides a time trend for the chosen metric. The trend is calculated using a backward-looking rolling window (ie, on a given date, all data from the past 30, 90, or 365 days are used to calculate the value of the metric on that day; for OPOs and transplant programs, only the 365-day rolling window is used). National trends are calculated daily, whereas trends for OPOs and transplant programs are calculated every 7 days. Relevant changes in organ allocation policy and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic are defined by vertical lines. All trends are raw/unadjusted. Any apparent effect of a policy change or the pandemic will likely warrant further study to better explain the likely cause. Data in the most recent days (the right end of the plot) are subject to change and should be interpreted cautiously.
