Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) records are generated and available immediately after a transplant event is reported through the recipient feedback process in WaitlistSM. Forms are generated by the age at transplant, not the age at listing. 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 data regarding the recipient’s progress consistent with the six-week time frame.
The TRR must be validated within 90 days of the record generation date. Example: If the recipient is removed as being transplanted on 10/1/XXXX, the TRR form will be due 90 days from that date, 12/30/XXXX. See OPTN 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 UNetSM Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334.
Additional Resources: See History of Definition Changes.
Name: Verify the last name, first name and middle initial of the transplant recipient is correct. If the information is incorrect, corrections may be made on the recipient's TCR record.
DOB: Verify the displayed date is the recipient's date of birth. If the information is incorrect, corrections may be made on the recipient's TCR record.
SSN: Verify the recipient's social security number is correct. If the information is incorrect, contact the Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334.
Gender: Verify recipient’s sex (Male or Female), based on biologic and physiologic traits at birth. If sex at birth is unknown, report sex at time of registration as reported by recipient or documented in medical record. The intent of this data collection field is to capture physiologic characteristics that may have an impact on recipient size matching or graft outcome. If the information is incorrect, corrections may be made on the recipient's TCR record.

Organ transplants include solid organ transplants and islet infusions. An organ transplant procedure is complete when any of the following occurs:
The chest or abdominal cavity is closed and the final skin stitch or staple is applied.
The transplant recipient leaves the operating room, even if the chest or abdominal cavity cannot be closed.

Height 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 was 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). (List of Status codes) 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 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 weight was measured.

If the recipient’s weight is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the ST field (Missing, Unknown, N/A, Not Done). (List of Status codes) 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.

Definition: (Hepatitis C Virus) - Inflammation of the liver due to the hepatitis C virus which is usually spread via blood transfusion (rare), hemodialysis, and needle sticks. The damage hepatitis C does to the liver can lead to cirrhosis and its complications as well as cancer. Transmission of the virus by sexual contact is rare. At least half of hepatitis C patients develop chronic hepatitis C infection. Diagnosis is made by blood test. Treatment and probably cure is via antiviral drugs and is effective in over 90% of patients. Chronic hepatitis C was frequently treated with injectable interferon, in combination with antiviral oral medications, but now is most often treated with oral antivirals alone.
Note: For an equivocal (or indeterminate) result that changes to either positive or negative, change the result to the newer more specific value even though it may be a different test date.

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.
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(es) 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 (example: methylprednisolone, Campath, Thymoglobulin, or Simulect). Some of these drugs might be used for another finite period for rejection therapy and would be recorded as anti-rejection therapy if used for this reason. For each induction medication indicated, write the total number of days the drug was actually administered in the space provided. For example, if Simulect 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 with the intention to maintain them long-term (example: prednisone, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, or Rapamune). 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 (example: methylprednisolone, or Thymoglobulin). When switching maintenance drugs (example: 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.
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. Note: Do not list non-immunosuppressive medications.
