Trends in Organ Donation and Transplantation in the United States, 1996–2005

Abstract

This brief overview of solid organ transplantation in the United States is produced as part of the 2006 OPTN/SRTR Annual Report. The Annual Report is prepared by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in collaboration with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The report gathers a large amount of information on many aspects of solid organ transplantation in one publication, making it a valuable resource for patients, the transplant community, the public and the Federal Government.
