Data Reporting and Recording01:24

Data Reporting and Recording

5.0K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) analyzes data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN).
  • Key metrics include donation rates, organ yield, and rates of organs recovered but not transplanted.
  • Organ transplantation is a critical medical intervention for end-stage organ failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in deceased organ donation and transplantation in 2020.
  • To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on organ donation and transplantation.
  • To identify opportunities for increasing transplant numbers through reducing organ discards.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of deceased donor data from the OPTN for 2019 and 2020.
  • Calculation of donation rates, organ yield, and discard rates.
  • Comparison of transplant volumes and organ utilization across different organs.

Main Results:

  • Deceased donors increased from 11,870 in 2019 to 12,588 in 2020.
  • Deceased donor transplants rose to 33,303 in 2020, up from 32,313 in 2019.
  • Transplants for most organs, including kidneys, livers, hearts, and lungs, increased in 2020 despite the SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Organ discard numbers remained stable, indicating potential for increased transplants.

Conclusions:

  • Organ donation and transplantation demonstrated resilience and growth in 2020, even amidst the global pandemic.
  • The rising number of deceased donors may be partly influenced by increased mortality related to the opioid epidemic.
  • Reducing the discard rate of recovered organs offers a significant opportunity to increase the number of transplants performed.
