- Confidence Interval
- The confidence coefficient is simply the proportion of samples of a given size that may be expected to contain the true mean. That is, for a 95% confidence interval, if many samples are collected and the confidence interval computed, in the long run about 95% of these intervals would contain the true mean.
- Donation Service Area
- The geographical service area designated by the Federal Government and assigned to an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) for recovering organs from all hospitals in that region. DSA designation and OPO assignments are made every four years beginning in 2002 (every two years from 1998-2001) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Detailed lists of counties within each DSA can be found in Table 9 of the OPO reports at www.ustransplant.org.
- National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA)
- The National Organ Transplant Act (1984 Public Law 98-507), approved October 19, 1984 and amended in 1988 and 1990, provided for the establishment of the Task Force on Organ Transplantation; authorized the Secretary of HHS to make grants for the planning, establishment, and initial operation of qualified OPOs; and established the formation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR).

- See Organ Procurement Organization.
- Organ Procurement Organization (OPO)
- A certified, not-for-profit organization designated by CMS to be responsible for the procurement of organs for transplantation and the promotion of organ donation within a given Donation Service Area (DSA). There are 59 OPOs nationwide that facilitate the organ donation process by assessing in-hospital deaths for donor eligibility; consulting with families of potential donors; and retrieving, preserving, and transporting organs for transplantation.
- Time to Transplant (TT)
- The time between when a patient is registered on a waiting list and when that patient receives a transplant. Annual Report tables show the median and other percentiles of time to transplant. The median time to transplant is the time by which 50% of a group of registrants have received a transplant. Among the factors affecting time to transplant are the shortage of organs; biologic issues such as blood type, body size of donors and recipients, PRA, immunological factors, and medical urgency status (for liver and heart); donation rates within an area; donation request and consent procedures at OPOs; and patient registration and organ acceptance practices at transplant centers. Table 1.6 presents an alternative measure, waiting time before transplant, in which inactive time on the waiting list is not counted and patients are censored at any removal from the waiting list.
