Innovations and policy updates drive equity and a record number of lifesaving organ transplants in 2023

United Network for Organ Sharing

Today, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) announced another record year for organ transplants, with 46,632 transplants performed in 2023 thanks to the selfless and generous gifts from donors. In addition, 10,824 Black patients received transplants last year, more than any year prior. UNOS, the engine that powers the national organ donation and transplantation system under contract with and oversight from the federal government, manages the national transplant waitlist that matches patients with lifesaving organs. UNOS tracks the number of transplants performed for each organ and identifies trends in organ donation and transplantation. Last year marked the 13 th consecutive year of a record number of deceased donors. Additional milestones reached include: More than 16,000 individuals became deceased donors, making 39,679 deceased donor transplants possible. That's nearly a 9% increase from 2022. There were 10,660 liver transplants performed in 2023 – the most ever performed in a single year. A 30% increase from 2022 in donors aged 65 years and older, representing a greater acceptance by the transplant community and candidates to receive organs from medically more complex donors. “It is important to remember that these milestones are more than just numbers – they reflect real people who can go on hikes with their spouse again and got to spend the holidays with their loved ones,” said Maureen McBride, Ph.D., CEO of UNOS. “I also want to recognize the selfless donors whose generosity made these life-changing transplants possible. I am grateful and thankful for each donor and know that as long as we remember the profound ripple effect of their decision, we will never lose sight of our mission.” The increase in transplants in 2023 is the result of several initiatives that have helped increase equity and enhance patient access to transplants, which were driven by the organ donation and transplant community and the Health Resources and Services Administration, the federal government agency overseeing the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). Some of these policy updates and technological advancements include removing race from kidney function measurements, increasing equity in lung transplants through continuous distribution, and making it easier for transplant programs to filter organ offers so an available organ is transplanted more quickly. The transplant community’s commitment to continuous system improvements drives the year-over-year increases in the number of lifesaving and lifechanging transplants performed. These improvements are necessary to ensure that each of the more than 103,000 patients on the national waitlist has an opportunity to receive a transplant. UNOS continues to work with the organ donation and transplant community and the federal government to advance its Action Agenda, a series of reforms to improve the organ donation and transplant system. This includes advocating for access to pre-waitlist data to enhance equity and to make it easier for organs to be transported in the cabin of commercial airplanes to help reduce the time it takes for an organ to get to a patient. Additionally, the OPTN is spearheading the Expeditious Task Force that is taking massive steps forward to reduce organ non-use. “Patients and donors motivate us to work collaboratively with the organ donation and transplant community and the government to strengthen the system,” continued McBride. “That way even more patients can access and receive high-quality and equitable transplant care.” For more information on 2023’s organ donation and transplant numbers and to learn more about the patients and donors, please visit: unos.org. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the federal government. The OPTN helps create and define organ allocation and distribution policies that make the best use of donated organs. This process involves continuously evaluating new advances and discoveries so policies can be adapted to best serve patients waiting for transplants. All transplant programs and organ procurement organizations throughout the country are OPTN members and are obligated to follow the policies the OPTN creates for allocating organs.

G Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd

A revolutionary chronic care management system that empowers patients to take control of their health A suite of sensors, such as 1-lead ECG, SPO2, temperature, BP, and weight scale, that can be used by the patients at home and transmit their vital signs and other measurements to the cloud in real-time. Portals and Smartphone Apps for the patients and physicians, where they can view trends and history, perform video conferences, write prescriptions and meeting summaries, and receive alerts for any abnormality or symptom detected. A secured HIPAA compliance cloud-based platform where the data from the sensors are stored, analyzed, and shared securely.

Align Surgical Practice Members Named to Influential Medical Advisory Roles

Align Surgical Associates

The California-based gender-affirming healthcare provider Align Surgical Associates Inc. (Align Surgical) announced today that two of its surgeons have been appointed to influential advisory roles by national medical societies. Align Surgical founder and CEO Thomas Satterwhite, M.D., has been named a contributing editor to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS), the journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Dr. Satterwhite was nominated for the role by the journal’s editorial leadership and confirmed this month by the full editorial board and the ASPS board of directors for a three-year term starting in January 2024. As a contributing editor, Dr. Satterwhite will serve as a peer reviewer on new research submissions and contribute his own writings, among other responsibilities. John Pang, M.D., F.A.C.S, will join the Guideline Development Panel of the Endocrine Society, the century-old organization at the forefront of hormone science and public health in the United States. This expert panel will spend two years developing and updating the Endocrine Society’s clinical practice guidelines on gender affirming care. During this time, this panel will meet, write and review evidence to rigorously develop and implement evidence-based practice-wide recommendations. “I am honored to join the editorial board of the leading journal in our field,” said Dr. Satterwhite, who is a board-certified plastic surgeon and Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. “I congratulate Dr. Pang on his appointment to the Endocrine Society panel, a role that speaks to his considerable expertise. A key part of our vision for Align Surgical has been to make active research central to the practice. While this may be an unusual commitment for a private medical practice, I believe it is vital to achieve a deeper understanding of what is possible in the critical field of gender-affirming healthcare. We have a duty to pursue technical innovations and ultimately share our findings with our colleagues so that patient outcomes everywhere can improve. These national advisory opportunities are an extension of that commitment.” Thomas Satterwhite, M.D., is a board-certified reconstructive plastic surgeon and a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Satterwhite completed his B.A. with honors, medical degree and plastic surgery residency at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. He specializes in all aspects of gender-affirming surgical procedures, including those for the face, body, chest and genital areas. Dr. Satterwhite is based at Align Surgical’s San Francisco office, serving patients from California and across the United States. John Pang, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in complex genital, face and chest reconstruction, as well as aesthetic facial and body procedures. Dr. Pang received his medical degree from the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. He completed a general surgery residency at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA; a plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at the University of Pittsburgh in PA; and a transgender surgery/ plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, NY. Dr. Pang is based in San Francisco. * * * About Align Surgical Associates Align Surgical Associates was founded in 2018 with the mission of providing gender-affirming surgery to the transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse community with excellence, compassion and the belief that all people deserve to experience the freedom of living as their true selves.
