In the United States, there are several transplant registries and databases. Most are voluntary and may be organ specific, disease or condition specific, organ and disease specific, or specific for a certain demographic patient group. There is one compulsory and comprehensive registry, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). These databases all have strengths and weaknesses. There is no doubt, however, that they contribute significantly to the scientific analyses of transplant outcomes and complications and provide important data through publications and presentations that can improve patient care and influence local, regional, and national transplant policies. Audits can and should be performed to guarantee the reliability of the data and accuracy of the conclusions drawn from this data as was done by the European Liver Transplant Registry.
在美国，有多个移植登记处和数据库。大多数是自愿性的，可能针对特定器官、特定疾病或病症、特定器官和疾病，或针对特定的人口统计学患者群体。有一个强制性的综合登记处，即移植受者科学登记处（SRTR）。这些数据库都有优缺点。然而，毫无疑问，它们对移植结果和并发症的科学分析做出了重大贡献，并通过出版物和报告提供重要数据，这些数据可以改善患者护理并影响地方、区域和国家的移植政策。应该像欧洲肝脏移植登记处那样进行审核，以保证数据的可靠性以及从这些数据得出的结论的准确性。
