DAVE COLLETT (UK Transplant, Bristol)

Some Statistical Problems in Organ Donation and Transplantation

There are many important problems stemming from organ donation and transplantation where statistical input is needed for their solution.  These include audits to identify the potential for organ donation in the UK, studies designed to improve the efficiency and equity of organ allocation procedures, monitoring the performance of individual transplant units to identify any whose results become out of line, and analyses of outcomes following organ transplantation.  In this talk, some specific topics in these areas will be described and illustrated, with reference to the application of multilevel logistic modelling, frailty models for survival analysis, risk adjusted cusum analyses, and models that incorporate time dependent variables.
