Registry Analysis of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Outcomes

Registry Analysis of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Outcomes With Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP)

This study uses existing transplant data obtained from a national public donor registry operated by the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) under Health Resources and Services Agency (HRSA) to evaluate outcomes associated with normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of deceased donor kidneys. Currently, there is no method to study NMP kidney outcomes using the National Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients (SRTR) national public registry, because no data field exists to identify which kidneys received NMP.

This is a retrospective observational study using existing data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR)/ Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) public registry following a Research Plan approved by Health Resources & Services Agency (HRSA).
