2 Conceptual Framework for OPO Measures OPOs can be assessed for performance at several points during the organ procurement process. Steps are discussed in the following slides, including the current state of development of each metric and data limitations.

3 Step 1: Identify Eligible Deaths Metric:  Eligible deaths per notifiable death. Development:  Historically available on the SRTR website with comparisons to expected rates before January 2008. Limitations:  Eligible deaths historically self-reported aggregate counts.

4 Step 2: Convert Eligible Deaths to Donors Metric:  Donors per eligible death. Development:  Historically available on the SRTR website with comparison to expected rates (not in January 2008). Limitations  Eligible deaths are currently self-reported aggregate counts.  Does not include DCD or donors aged > 70 years.  Current models for “expected” donation rates are limited to information about the hospitals where the deaths occurred, which is not much better than crude rates.  Models will likely be improved by accounting for the characteristics of individual eligible deaths (data to be collected by the OPTN beginning January 9, 2008).  Specific underlying adjustment data from AHA cannot be shared. Alternative sources are being explored.

5 Step 3: Recovered and Transplanted Organs Metric:  Organs recovered and transplanted per donor. Development:  Crude rates available on the SRTR website, stratified by donor type.  Methods for modeling an expected yield per donor are under consideration. Limitations:  Statistical test is not straightforward for the combined observed vs. expected yield because recovery of different organs from the same donor are not independent events.  Multiple factors, including factors external to the OPO, influence this outcome.

14 Reporting by Donor Types Heart-beating.  SCD: standard criteria donor. Aged younger than 60 years and not DCD or ECD.  ECD: expanded criteria donor (KI-donor type). Heart-beating donors aged older than 60 years and aged between 50 and 59 years meeting 2 of the following 3 conditions: died of stroke, history of hypertension, serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL. Non-heart beating.  DCD: donation after cardiac death.

15 Table 3: Measures of Donation Rates: Two Processes Notifiable deaths: DSA-wide in-hospital deaths of patients aged 0-70 years with no exclusionary medical diagnosis for possible donation, † mean 5.4 (eligible deaths per 100 notifiable deaths). Eligible deaths * : OPO-reported aggregate eligible deaths from hospitals (excludes cardiac deaths). Deceased donors: at least 1 organ recovered. * Eligible: Aged 0-70 years, death by neurological criteria, no exclusionary medical conditions. † Ojo AO, et al.

21 Adjustments Used for Expected Rates Notification rate: age, sex, race, and cause of death. Source: NCHS Population Death Record Donation rate 1: trauma center, MSA size, CMS case mix index, total bed size, ICU beds, children’s hospital, resident training program, neurological services, hospital control/ownership. Source: AHA Survey. Donation rate 2: as above, plus notification rate.

22 Standardized Donation Rate Model “What donation rate would we expect for this DSA, given the characteristics of the hospitals in its service area?”  Trauma center, MSA size, CMS case mix index, total bed size, ICU beds, neurological service, resident training program, children’s hospital, hospital control/ownership. Source: AHA Survey ASDR = SDR with an adjustment for notifiable deaths. Standardized ratio: observed rate/expected rate. Statistical comparisons:  Compare observed to expected counts, 2-sided p-value.  95% confidence limits for standardized ratio.

26 Why Suppress Expected Rates Now? Statistics intended for quality improvement purposes. Lack of data for individual eligible deaths does not allow for substantive statistical adjustment. Data currently available for use in the models cannot currently be released to OPOs or the public. Important to assess the sources of variation in donation rates among the OPOs before finalizing the methods for assigning statistical significance to the comparisons.

27 Future Changes Donation rates will be adjusted when eligible death characteristics are collected:  Age  Race  Sex  Cause of death

28 Pilot Study of Individual Eligible Death Data 11 OPOs were selected as a representative sample. A multivariate model with age, race, sex, US citizenship, cause of death was highly significant (chi-square = 130, P < 0.0001), indicating that the factors were useful predictors of donation.

29 OPTN Collection of Individual Eligible Death Data Began January 9, 2008. Includes data on age, sex, race/ethnicity, and cause of death for each eligible death. Improves the modeling of expected conversion rates. Expect to begin using models after 1 year of data collection.
