This summary provides an overview of solid organ transplantation in the USA, produced as part of the 2003 OPTN/SRTR Annual Report. The Annual Report is prepared by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in collaboration with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). A wide range of activities related to solid organ transplantation in the USA are thoughtfully addressed in this publication with the intention of providing useful information to patients, the transplant community, the public, and the Federal Government.
