Abstract
This Twenty-eighth Report of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Transplant Registry is based on data submitted by participating transplant centers worldwide. A total of 388 heart transplant centers have contributed information to the Registry. This year we have also achieved another important milestone: the 100,000 heart transplant recipient was registered in the database. This report reviews important statistics for the entire cohort of patients registered in the database. However, similar to prior reports, many of the more detailed analyses will focus on recent transplant recipients, exploring information relevant to contemporary heart transplantation practice. The first part of the report reviews important donor, recipient, and medical center demographics. The second part provides an overview of immunosuppressive therapies used after transplantation. The third part examines survival, mortality risk factors, and causes of death after adult heart transplantation. The last section focuses on quality of life after transplant.
