Pancreas Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) Field Descriptions

Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) records are generated in Tiedi® at six months, one year and annually thereafter following transplantation, until either graft failure, recipient death or lost to follow-up is reported. Forms are generated by the age at transplant, not the age at listing. Pediatric follow-up records will continue to generate through the recipient's 25th birthday. The system will automatically update the next follow-up record to Adult as of the recipient's 26th birthday.

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.

If the recipient dies or experiences a graft failure between follow-up intervals, complete an interim record containing the information pertinent to death or graft failure.

If the patient is lost to follow-up, follow the steps for Reporting Lost to Follow-up.

The TRF record must be completed within 90 days from the record generation date. See OPTN Policies for additional information. Use the search feature to locate specific policy information on Data Submission Requirements.

To correct information that is already displayed on an electronic record, call the UNetSM Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334.



Recipient Information

Name: Verify the last name, first name and middle initial of the transplant recipient is correct. If the information is incorrect, corrections may be made on the recipient's TCR record.

DOB: Verify the displayed date is the recipient's date of birth. If the information is incorrect, corrections may be made on the recipient's TCR record.

SSN: Verify the recipient's social security number is correct. If the information is incorrect, contact the Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334.

Gender: Verify recipient’s sex (Male or Female), based on biologic and physiologic traits at birth. If sex at birth is unknown, report sex at time of registration as reported by recipient or documented in medical record. The intent of this data collection field is to capture physiologic characteristics that may have an impact on recipient size matching or graft outcome. If the information is incorrect, corrections may be made on the recipient's TCR record.

HIC: Verify the 9 to 11 character Health Insurance Claim number for the recipient indicated on the recipient's most recently updated TCR record is correct. If the recipient does not have a HIC number, you may leave this field blank.

Tx Date: The recipient's transplant date, reported in the Recipient Feedback, will display. Verify that the displayed transplant date is correct. The transplant date is determined by the start of the organ anastomosis during transplant or the start of the islet infusion. Organ transplants include solid organ transplants and islet infusions. An organ transplant procedure is complete when any of the following occurs:

  • The chest or abdominal cavity is closed and the final skin stitch or staple is applied.

  • The transplant recipient leaves the operating room, even if the chest or abdominal cavity cannot be closed.

  • The islet infusion is complete.

Previous Follow-up: The recipient's follow-up status, reported in the previous TRF record, will display. Verify the recipient's previous follow-up status is correct.

Height: Enter the height of the recipient at the time of follow-up in the appropriate space, in feet and inches or centimeters. If the recipient’s height is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the ST field (N/A, Not Done, Missing, Unknown). (List of Status codes) For recipients 18 years old or younger at the time of follow-up, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts. This field is required for pediatric recipients only.

Weight Date of Measurement: (Complete for recipients younger than 18 years of age at transplant and younger than 26 years of age at follow-up.) Enter the date, using the 8-digit format of MM/DD/YYYY, the recipient’s weight was measured. This field is required.

Weight: Enter the weight of the recipient at the time of follow-up in the appropriate space, in pounds or kilograms. If the recipient’s weight is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the ST field (N/A, Not Done, Missing, Unknown). (List of Status codes) For recipients 18 years old or younger at the time of follow-up, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts. This field is required.

BMI (Body Mass Index): For candidates less than 20 years of age during the follow-up period, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts.

Percentiles are the most commonly used clinical indicator to assess the size and growth patterns of individual children in the United States. Percentiles rank the position of an individual by indicating what percent of the reference population the individual would equal or exceed (i.e. on the weight-for-age growth charts, a 5 year-old girl whose weight is at the 25th percentile, weighs the same or more than 25 percent of the reference population of 5-year-old girls, and weighs less than 75 percent of the 5-year-old girls in the reference population). For additional information about CDC growth charts, see http://www.cdc.gov/.

Note: Users who check the BMI percentiles against the CDC calculator may notice a discrepancy that is caused by the CDC calculator using 1 decimal place for height and weight and UNet using 4 decimal places for weight and 2 for height.

Graft Status: Select the status that best describes the pancreas graft status. If the Patient Status is Retransplanted for the pancreas, this field is not applicable.

Note: If death is indicated for the recipient, report graft status up until the instance of death.

Functioning:The graft has sufficient function so that the recipient is NOT receiving a level of insulin for blood sugar control that constitutes a failed graft (0.5 kg of insulin a day for 90 consecutive days).

Failed: The graft has failed when ANY of the following occurs:

  • A recipient’s transplanted pancreas is removed

  • A recipient re-registers for a pancreas

  • A recipient registers for an islet transplant after receiving a pancreas transplant

  • A recipient’s insulin use is greater than or equal to 0.5 units/kg/day for a consecutive 90 days

  • A recipient dies

If Failed is selected, complete the following fields:

Pancreas Date of Failure: Enter the date of failure using the standard 8 digit numeric format of MM/DD/YYYY.  If the Patient Status is Retransplanted for the pancreas, this field is not applicable.

The tumor should be reported on subsequent follow-up records ONLY if the tumor goes away and then returns in the next follow-up period.



Immunosuppressive Information

Previous Validated Maintenance Follow-up Medications: The follow-up Immunosuppression medication(s) indicated in the patient's most recently validated Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) or Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) record will be listed.

Note: If a drug cannot be indicated as Maintenance in the Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR), then it cannot be indicated as Current Maintenance or Previous Maintenance in the TRF. If the drug cannot be indicated as Anti-rejection in the TRR, then it cannot be indicated as Anti-rejection in the TRF.

Were any medications given during the follow-up period for maintenance: (List of Changes to Maintenance Medications codes)

    If there were immunosuppressive medications during this follow-up period, select Yes, same as validated TRR form. The drugs on the previously validated TRR will pre-populate.

If there have been changes in medications during this follow-up period, select Yes, but different than validated TRR form. Then select the appropriate Immunosuppressive Medications by placing a checkmark in the Current Maint or AR column.

If no medications were given during this follow-up period, select None given.

Note: If any medications were given during the 6-month follow-up period for maintenance, immunosuppression medications from the patient's validated TRR will be listed.



Definitions of Immunosuppressive Follow-up Medications

For each of the immunosuppressant medications listed, check Previous Maintenance (Prev Maint), Current Maintenance (Curr Maint) or Anti-rejection (AR) to indicate all medications that were prescribed for the recipient during this follow-up period, and for what reason. If a medication was not given, leave the associated box(es) blank.  

Previous Maintenance (Prev Maint) includes all immunosuppressive medications given during the report period, which covers the period from the last clinic visit to the current clinic visit, with the intention to maintain them long-term (example: prednisone, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, or Rapamune). This does not include any immunosuppressive medications given to treat rejection episodes.  

Current Maintenance (Curr Maint) includes all immunosuppressive medications given at the time of the current clinic visit to begin in the next report period, with the intention to maintain them long-term (example: prednisone, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, or Rapamune). This does not include any immunosuppressive medications given to treat rejection episodes.  

Anti-rejection (AR) immunosuppression includes all immunosuppressive medications given for the purpose of treating an acute rejection episode since the last clinic visit (example: methylprednisolone or Thymoglobulin). When switching maintenance drugs (example: from tacrolimus to cyclosporine; or from mycophenolate mofetil to azathioprine) because of rejection, the drugs should not be listed under AR immunosuppression, but should be listed under maintenance immunosuppression. Note: The Anti-rejection field refers to any anti-rejection medications since the last clinic visit, not just at the time of the current clinic visit.  

If an immunosuppressive medication other than those listed is being administered (e.g., new monoclonal antibodies), select Previous Maint, or Current Maint, or AR next to Other Immunosuppressive Medication field, and enter the full name of the medication in the space provided. Note: Do not list non-immunosuppressive medications.
