AbstractSRTR uses data collected by OPTN to calculate metrics such as donation/conversion rate, organ yield, and rate of organs recovered for transplant but not transplanted. In 2015, 1,072,828 death and imminent death referrals were made to Organ Procurement Organizations, of which 21,559 met the definition of eligible (9793) or imminent (11,766) deaths per OPTN policy. The number of deceased donors was 9080, and this number has been increasing since 2010. The number of organs authorized for recovery increased slightly to 65,086 in 2015, and the number recovered increased slightly to 25,762. In 2015, 4370 organs were discarded, including 3157 kidneys, 311 pancreata, 703 livers, 30 hearts, and 214 lungs. These numbers suggest a need to reduce the number of organs discarded..
