- W2002161017 abstract "Solid organ transplantation has evolved at an astonishing pace over its 50-year modern history. The field started with courageous patients, selfless donor families, and the daring and often unsuccessful efforts of surgeons. Advances have catapulted transplantation into its rightful place as the preferred therapy for end-stage organ failure. A unique aspect of organ transplantation in the United States is the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR), which was started in 1987 under the aegis of the National Organ Transplant Act. Every transplant program and organ procurement organization in the country contributes data to the SRTR on candidates, recipients, and donors through the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). In no other field of medicine are the activities and outcomes of a single discipline so carefully scrutinized and publicly aired. The University Renal Research and Education Association (URREA), as the contractor for the SRTR since 2000, produces a voluminous reference work of data tables for the OPTN/SRTR Annual Report, which is published each year by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the US Department of Health and Human Services. Using the data tables produced for the OPTN/SRTR Annual Report, a pantheon of 50 nationally and internationally recognized experts in all aspects of transplantation digested, reviewed critiqued, and explained trends in solid organ transplantation in the United States over the past 10 years. The results of their work, a milestone in the reporting of transplant statistics, constitute the SRTR Report on the State of Transplantation contained herein and also reproduced in the OPTN/SRTR Annual Report. A unique feature of what we hope will be an annual supplement issue is the inclusion of a special focus article. This year's selection, the expanded criteria kidney donor, is particularly timely, as a new allocation policy for such kidneys from deceased donors has just been implemented. The SRTR team plans to offer similar cutting-edge special focus articles in future years. A project of this magnitude requires tremendous commitment, effort, teamwork, and esprit de corps. As the guest editor of this supplement, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with many individuals who possess all of these traits. When the idea for the project was conceived late in 2001, Dr. Philip Halloran, Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Transplantation, immediately embraced the concept and has been a steadfast and ardent champion of it. His guidance and wise counsel are clearly visible in the final product. All of our colleagues at the AJT have been extremely helpful, and special thanks are due to Pamela Publicover, Editorial Office Manager, whose assiduous oversight of manuscript submission and assignment to reviewers kept the entire peer-review process on track and on schedule. Eric Rozario, Neil Blair Christensen, and Pernille Knudsen of Blackwell Munksgaard were a pleasure to work with on the logistical aspects of production and distribution of the supplement. Our colleagues at the HRSA Division of Transplantation have been extremely supportive of this project from the beginning. I gratefully acknowledge the encouragement and advice of Lynn Rothberg Wegman and Michael Dreis. Our 50 authors, representing specialists in every area of clinical transplantation, achieved the herculean task of writing first drafts in less than 6 weeks, and were asked to respond to frequent queries, requests for clarifications, and manuscript revisions on a very tight timetable. I am indebted to each and every author for making the SRTR Report on the State of Transplantation a priority over the course of the year, and to the lead authors for organizing and integrating their articles. This project could not have come to fruition without the support, encouragement, and extraordinarily hard work of my colleagues at URREA and the University of Michigan. Well-deserved recognition goes to the principals of the SRTR project, Drs. Friedrich K. Port (Principal Investigator), Robert A. Wolfe, Philip J. Held, Alan B. Leichtman, Akinlolu O. Ojo, and Susan Murray. Many of the SRTR's analysts, programmers, and editorial and administrative staff from the University of Michigan and URREA contributed to this report, including Charlotte J. Arrington, Valarie B. Ashby, Jennifer L. Bragg-Gresham, Rami T. Bustami, John Q. Chen, Laura L. Christensen, Charlene R. Cole, David M. Dickinson, Dawn M. Dykstra, Patricia A. Fritz-Hobson, Mary K. Guidinger, Theresa A. Helm, Tempie E. Hulbert-Shearon, Chris Kim, Craig Lake, Greg N. Levine, Shannon Li, Keith P. McCullough, Allison E. Peshke, Trinh B. Pifer, Sarah H. Rush, Caroline A. Shevrin, Amy B. Spencer, Randall L. Webb, and James C. Welch. My most profound gratitude is reserved for two special individuals without whom this supplement would not have been possible. Sarah K. Naperala provided outstanding organizational ability and leadership of the SRTR team working on the project. Her common sense, positive spirit, indefatigable energy, and good humor prevailed, especially when deadlines loomed large and time was short. Miles P. Finley managed all of the authors' contributions, coordinated responses and revisions during the peer-review process among the coauthors of the articles, expertly edited text and graphics, and ensured that a uniform stylistic approach was applied to each manuscript. He was tireless, patient, and unflappable. Ultimately, the contents of this supplement are far more the work of others than my own. To all of these individuals goes the credit for any success of this endeavor. As guest editor, the responsibility for any shortcomings is mine. Robert M. Merion, MD Director, Clinical Transplantation, SRTR Professor of Surgery University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI USA" @default.
