VCA Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) Record Field Descriptions

Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) records are generated at six months, one year and annually thereafter following transplantation, until either graft failure, recipient death or lost to follow-up is reported.

The TRF record is to be completed by the transplant center responsible for follow-up of the recipient at intervals of six months, one year and annually thereafter. The record is to contain only the applicable patient information since the last follow-up period. It is not to contain information pertaining solely to the previous or next follow-up period. For example: the 6-month follow-up should contain information from the time after the TRR was completed to the 6-month transplant anniversary date; the 1-year follow-up should contain information from the day after the 6-month transplant anniversary date to the 1-year transplant anniversary date; the 2-year follow-up should contain information from the day after the 1-year transplant anniversary date to the 2-year anniversary date.

The TRF record must be completed within 30 days from the record generation date.

SF-36 Score: Enter the recipient’s scores associated with different components of physical and mental health as determined by the SF-36 Health Survey.

The SF-36 (Short Form (36) Health Survey) is a patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is scored on a 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability) scale. For additional details about the SF-36 and the eight scaled scores, see https://clinicalresearch.ccf.org/bid/UsefulDocuments/SF36Administration.pdf.

Physical Health

Physical Functioning (PF) score: Enter the recipient’s physical functioning score at the time of follow-up.

The content of the ten-item PF scale reflects the importance of distinct aspects of physical functioning and the necessity of sampling a range of severe and minor physical limitations. The PF items capture both the presence and extent of physical limitations using a three-level response continuum. Low scores indicate significant limitations in performing physical activities while high scores reflect little or no such limitations.

Role-Physical (RP) score: Enter the recipient’s role-physical score at the time of follow-up.

The four-item RP scale covers an array of physical health-related role limitations. Low scores on the RP scale reflect problems with work or other activities as a result of physical problems. High scores indicate little or no problems with work or other daily activities stemming from physical problems.

Bodily Pain (BP) score: Enter the recipient’s bodily pain score at the time of follow-up.

The BP scale comprises two items: one pertaining to the intensity of bodily pain and one measuring the extent of interference with normal work activities due to pain. Low scores indicate high levels of pain that impact normal activities, whereas high scores indicate no pain and no related impact on normal activities.

General Health (GH) score: Enter the recipient’s general health score at the time of follow-up.

The GH scale consists of five items, including a rating of health and four items addressing the respondent’s views and expectations of their health. Low scores indicate evaluation of general health as poor and likely to get worse. High scores indicate that the respondent evaluates their health more favorably.

Mental Health

Vitality (VT) score: Enter the recipient’s vitality score at the time of follow-up.

The four-item measure of vitality (i.e., energy level and fatigue) captures differences in subjective well-being. Low scores indicate feelings of tiredness and being worn out. High scores indicate feeling full of energy all or most of the time.

Social Functioning (SF) score: Enter the recipient’s social functioning score at the time of follow-up.

The two-item scale assesses health-related effects on quantity and quality of social activities. The degree to which physical and emotional problems interfere with normal social activities increases with decreasing SF scores. The lowest score equates to extreme or frequent interference with normal social activities due to physical and emotional problems. The highest score indicates that the individual performs normal social activities without interference from physical or emotional problems.

Role-Emotional (RE) score: Enter the recipient’s role-emotional score at the time of follow-up.

The three-item RE scale assesses mental health-related role limitations. Low scores reflect problems with work or other activities as a result of emotional problems. High scores reflect no such limitations due to emotional problems.

Mental Health (MH) score: Enter the recipient’s mental health score at the time of follow-up.

The five-item MH scale includes one or more items from each of four major mental health dimensions (anxiety, depression, loss of behavioral/emotional control, and psychological well-being). Low scores are indicative of frequent feelings of nervousness and depression, whereas high scores indicate feelings of peace, happiness, and calm all or most of the time.

UPPER LIMB

DASH score: Enter the recipient’s DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) Score at the time of follow-up.

The DASH questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale, scored 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). For additional details about the DASH score, see http://dash.iwh.on.ca/system/files/dash_questionnaire_2010.pdf, and for a DASH score calculator, see http://www.orthopaedicscore.com/scorepages/disabilities_of_arm_shoulder_hand_score_dash.html.

Carroll Test score, right: Enter the recipient’s overall Carroll Test score at the time of follow-up for the right limb, on a 0-99 scale. If the test was not performed, enter Not Done.

Carroll Test: The Carroll Test is an upper-extremity functional test that consists of 33 components. Each component is given a score of a 0 (can perform no part of test), a 1 (performs test partially), a 2 (completes test, but takes abnormally long time or has great difficulty), or a 3 (performs task normally). The overall Carroll Test score for each extremity is a score between 0 and 99 and represents the sum of the component scores. For additional details about the Carroll Test, see http://www.swisswuff.ch/images/adl/adl-pdf/carroll1965quantitativetest-upperex-function.pdf.

In most instances the donor does not have a history of cancer and transmission of cancer is unexpected. This occurrence is usually discovered when multiple recipients of organs from a single donor develop the same cancer (e.g. Melanoma). It may also occur when the clinical (not histological) diagnosis of primary brain cancer is made when, in fact, the donor had a metastatic brain cancer from an occult (concealed from observation) primary site.

If Yes was selected, provide the following information:

Diagnosis date: Enter the date of diagnosis using the 8-digit format of MM/DD/YYYY. The date must fall within the follow-up period and after the transplant date that is displayed.

The patient has a past history of cancer, and develops the same type of cancer post-transplantation. This does not apply to basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, unless it recurs in the original site. The patient has a cancer in an explanted (removed) organ, and later develops a recurrence of the same type of cancer.

If Yes was selected, provide the following information:

Recurrence date: Enter the date, using the 8-digit format of MM/DD/YYYY, the cancer recurred. This date must be after the transplant date and fall within the follow-up period that is displayed.

De novo tumor: If the cancer was a de novo solid tumor, select Yes If not, select No. If unknown, select UNK.

This includes all new malignant tumors except post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD).
