SATA Liver Transplant Database project

The Society for Advancement in Transplant Anesthesia (SATA) Liver Database is designed to provide individual transplant centers with a simple, standardized instrument for data collection and to facilitate multicenter collaboration in liver transplantation research. The core of the SATA Liver Database is a data collection tool based on a standardized data dictionary, which includes patient characteristics, intraoperative details, and postoperative outcomes. Data is collected on a local installation of the REDCap system. Additional agreements are in place to obtain data from Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). While the SATA Liver Database is
intended for prospective data collection, it also allows for the collection and submission of retrospective data.As part of this project, Lahey Clinic has established an internal database, which currently includes data on more than 500 patients since 2016, containing over 200 variables. This database has received IRB approval to conduct both retrospective and prospective studies from 2016 to 2030 At present, three ongoing projects are based on this database, and the Lahey Clinic Transplant Anesthesia Division is the lead center on the Early Extubation project. The prospective trainee will be involved in an ongoing IRB-approved project to review records, complete the established
database, and work closely with the PI (Dr. Nazemian) and a biostatistician to perform analysis. Based on the initial data review, ad hoc analyses will be conducted to establish prospective studies
