Data

The OPTN's secure transplant information database contains all national data on the candidate waiting list, organ donation and matching, and transplantation. This system is critical in helping organ transplant institutions match waiting candidates with donated organs. Institutions also rely on the database to manage time-sensitive, life-critical data of all candidates, before and after their transplants.

  • A year of lifesaving milestones

    Thanks to the selfless gift of organ donors and donor families, new all-time records were set for transplantation in 2022.

  • One million transplants

    Milestone reflects generosity of donors, dedication of donation and transplant community.

Visual dashboards
