Intestine Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR)

Intestine Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) Record Field Descriptions

The Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) records are generated and available immediately after a transplant event is reported through the recipient feedback process in Waitlist^SM. A TRR will also be generated in the case of a living donor transplant, where a recipient was added through the donor feedback process in Tiedi^®. The TRR record is completed by the transplant center performing the transplant. The registration and hospital discharge follow-up information is combined in this record.

Complete the TRR at hospital discharge or six weeks post transplant, whichever is first. If the recipient is still hospitalized at six weeks post transplant, provide the most recent information available regarding the recipient's progress.

The TRR record must be completed within 60 days from the record generation date. See OPTN/UNOS Policies for additional information. Use the search feature to locate specific policy information on Data Submission Requirements.

To correct information that is already displayed on an electronic record, call the UNet^SM Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334.

Date of Measurement: (Complete for recipients 18 years of age or younger.) Enter the date, using the 8-digit format of MM/DD/YYYY, the recipient’s height and weight were measured.

Height: Enter the height of the recipient, just prior to the time of transplant, in feet and inches or centimeters. If the recipient’s height is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the ST field (Missing, Unknown, N/A, Not Done). For recipients 18 years old or younger at the time of transplant, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts. This field is required.

Weight: Enter the weight of the recipient, just prior to the time of transplant, in pounds or kilograms. If the recipient’s weight is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the ST field (Missing, Unknown, N/A, Not Done). For recipients 18 years old or younger at the time of transplant, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts. This field is required.

BMI (Body Mass Index): The recipient's BMI will display. For candidates less than 20 years of age at the time of transplant, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts.

Percentiles are the most commonly used clinical indicator to assess the size and growth patterns of individual children in the United States. Percentiles rank the position of an individual by indicating what percent of the reference population the individual would equal or exceed (i.e. on the weight-for-age growth charts, a 5 year-old girl whose weight is at the 25th percentile, weighs the same or more than 25 percent of the reference population of 5-year-old girls, and weighs less than 75 percent of the 5-year-old girls in the reference population). For additional information about CDC growth charts, see http://www.cdc.gov/.

Note: Users who check the BMI percentiles against the CDC calculator may notice a discrepancy that is caused by the CDC calculator using 1 decimal place for height and weight and UNet using 4 decimal places for weight and 2 for height.

Previous Transplants: The three most recent transplant(s), indicated on the recipient's validated Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) record(s), will display. Verify all previous transplants listed by organ type, transplant date and graft failure date.

Note: The three most recent transplants on record for this recipient will be displayed for verification. If there are any prior transplants that are not listed here, contact the UNet Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334 or unethelpdesk@unos.org to determine if the transplant event is in the database.

Immunosuppressive Information

Are any medications given currently for maintenance or anti-rejection: If medications have been given to the recipient for maintenance or anti-rejection during the time between transplant and hospital discharge, or 6 weeks post-transplant if the recipient has not been discharged, select Yes. If not, select No. If Yes, complete the sections below.  This field is required.

Immunosuppressive Medications

For each of the immunosuppressive medications listed, select Ind.(Induction), Maint (Maintenance) or AR (Anti-rejection) to indicate all medications that were prescribed for the recipient during the initial transplant hospitalization period, and for what reason. If a medication was not given, leave the associated box blank.

Induction (Ind.) immunosuppression includes all medications given for a short finite period in the perioperative period for the purpose of preventing acute rejection. Though the drugs may be continued after discharge for the first 30 days after transplant, it will not be used long-term for immunosuppressive maintenance. Induction agents are usually polyclonal, monoclonal, or IL-2 receptor antibodies (e.g., Methylprednisolone, Atgam, Thymoglobulin, OKT3, Simulect, or Zenapax). Some of these drugs might be used for another finite period for rejection therapy and would be recorded as rejection therapy if used for this reason. For each induction medication indicated, enter the total number of days the drug was actually administered in the space provided. For example, if Simulect or Zenapax was given in 2 doses a week apart then the total number of days would be 2, even if the second dose was given after the patient was discharged.

Maintenance (Maint) includes all immunosuppressive medications given before, during or after transplant for varying periods of time which may be either long-term or intermediate term with a tapering of the dosage until the drug is either eliminated or replaced by another long-term maintenance drug (e.g., Prednisone, Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Azathioprine, or Rapamycin). This does not include any immunosuppressive medications given to treat rejection episodes, or for induction.

Anti-rejection (AR) immunosuppression includes all immunosuppressive medications given for the purpose of treating an acute rejection episode during the initial post-transplant period or during a specific follow-up period, usually up to 30 days after the diagnosis of acute rejection (e.g., Methylprednisolone, Atgam, OKT3, or Thymoglobulin). When switching maintenance drugs (e.g., from Tacrolimus to Cyclosporine; or from Mycophenolate Mofetil to Azathioprine) because of rejection, the drugs should not be listed under AR immunosuppression, but should be listed under maintenance immunosuppression.

Note: As further clarification, drugs that are used with the intention to maintain recipients long-term are medications such as Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Prednisone. These maintenance medications should not be listed as AR medications to treat acute rejection. When patients have a true acute rejection, they are given anti-rejection medication such as steroids, OKT3, ATG, Simulect and Zenapax, in addition to the maintenance medications. These are the medications that should be selected as anti-rejection.

If an immunosuppressive medication other than those listed is being administered (e.g., new monoclonal antibodies), select Ind., Maint, or AR next to Other Immunosuppressive Medication field, and enter the full name of the medication in the space provided. Do not list non-immunosuppressive medications.
