Abstract:
The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) provides extensive data regarding the performance of various aspects of the national transplant system and a tier rating system that can aid patients in selecting their transplant center. The role of the SRTR is to provide clear, accurate, and timely information to regulatory agencies and transplant professionals, candidates, and recipients; live organ donors; donor families; and the general public. This overview provides basic information on the history and role of the SRTR, as well as changes made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
