At-a-glance
As of June 4, we are adding data elements to center STAR files based on requests from professionals and needs identified by UNOS research staff. Be sure to adjust any automated process you use to import these files before that date. You can access the center STAR files from the Data Services Portal on UnetSM. Resources>Data Services>My Data Files. You’ll find updated file layouts containing the specific changes under the Documentation section.
We will implement the following changes on June 4:
Additions
- LIVER: Donor INR; Recipient Crossmatch (T cell, B cell); SODIUM170_VAL_DON; HBA1C
- KIDPAN:HBA1C
Deletions
KIDPAN: DAYSWAIT_CHRON_KI and DAYSWAIT_CHRON_PA – The values for these fields are also captured by the DAYSWAIT_CHRON field, therefore are duplicative and will be removed; DAYSWAIT_CHRON field will remain.
