EFRETOS (European Framework for the Evaluation of Organ Transplants)
EFRETOS is a project, subsidized by the European Commission, in which Eurotransplant leads a broad consortium that intends to achieve a common definition of terms and methodology to evaluate the results of transplantation, by promoting a registry of registries on follow-up. A European registry will enable the monitoring of patients and the evaluation of transplant results.
Specific objectives:
- to prepare the specifications of a registry of registries concerning the evaluation of outcome of post-mortem solid organ transplantation;
- to promote common definitions of terms and methodology to evaluate the results of transplantation;
- to promote a registry or network of registries on the follow-up of organ recipients;
- to monitor the health of patients who have undergone organ transplantation;
- to evaluate the results of the project in strong cooperation with the European Commission (EAHC) using the European Network of Competent Authorities;
- to disseminate the results of this innovative project, especially concentrating on the main stakeholders (patients, medical experts, national authorities);
- to set up a quality assurance system for obtaining high quality data on transplantation outcomes
