Comprehensive Swiss Organ Transplant Registry

All recipients of SOTs in Switzerland are prospectively registered since May 2008. No particular eligibility or exclusion criteria exist for enrolment. Patients with grafts implanted before the start in May 2008 are not recruited retrospectively, unless such a patient presents for a re- or a second transplant. Tissue transplantations are not considered.
Switzerland has compulsory health insurance and transplantation is part of basic health care. Patients pay premiums with co-payments for medications.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
