N2 - SRTR uses data collected by OPTN to calculate metrics such as donation rate, organ yield, and rate of organs recovered for transplant but not transplanted. In 2016, 1,072,717 death and imminent death referrals were made to organ procurement organizations, of which 23,433 met the definition of eligible (10,717) or imminent (12,716) deaths per OPTN policy. There were 9971 deceased donors, and this number has been increasing since 2010. The number of organs authorized for recovery has also continued to increase since 2010. In 2016, 4859 organs were discarded, including 3631 kidneys, 317 pancreata, 739 livers, 8 intestines, 31 hearts, and 211 lungs. These numbers suggest a need to reduce the number of organs discarded.
