Notifiable Infectious Diseases Among Organ Transplant Recipients: A Data-Linked Cohort Study, 2000–2015

A cohort study was performed among all solid organ recipients in NSW, Australia, transplanted from 2000 to 2015. This was used to estimate the burden of notifiable infectious diseases compared to the general population.

Perceived Versus Verified Cancer History and Missed Opportunities for Donation in an Australian Cohort of Potential Deceased Solid Organ Donors

We aimed to establish the accuracy of health information known at the time of donation decisions, by comparing the perceived cancer diagnoses in donor logs with verified diagnoses from linked health records. Secondly, we aimed to identify any missed donor opportunities (suitable donors who were… Read More »Perceived Versus Verified Cancer History and Missed Opportunities for Donation in an Australian Cohort of Potential Deceased Solid Organ Donors

Cancer transmissions and non-transmissions from solid organ transplantation in an Australian cohort of deceased and living organ donors

 We sought to identify cases of cancer transmission or non-transmission from transplantation in an Australian cohort of donors and recipients. We included NSW solid organ deceased donors 2000-2012 and living donors 2004-2012 in a retrospective cohort using linked data from the NSW Biovigilance Register (SAFEBOD).… Read More »Cancer transmissions and non-transmissions from solid organ transplantation in an Australian cohort of deceased and living organ donors

New blood-borne virus infections among organ transplant recipients: An Australian data-linked cohort study examining donor transmissions and other HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B notifications (project: SAFEBOD)

We aimed to quantify post-transplant viral infections, specifically those transmitted by donors and those reactivating or arising new in recipients.

Safety and Biovigilance in Organ Donation (SAFEBOD): Protocol for a Population-Based Cohort Study

The Safety and Biovigilance in Organ Donation (SAFEBOD) study aims to improve estimates of infection and cancer transmission risk and explore how real-time data access could support decision-making.
