Popis: In this last report of the Registry’s current administration, it is appropriate to review the changes and growth of the Registry during our 7-year stewardship. The total number of thoracic transplant recipients listed in the Registry has grown from 35,972 to more than 73,000 (see Table I). In addition to the increase in sheer volume of data, the breadth and sophistication of the analyses increased, from descriptive and univariate survival analyses to complex multivariate, risk-stratified data that investigate mortality as well as morbidity end-points. In 1993, the number of slides showing thoracic transplant data offered as a service to the members of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) was in the mid-30s. This year’s slide set offered free as a PowerPointTM file on the ISHLT website will contain 65 data slides. The health of the Registry will continue with a smooth transition to the new directorship.
