UNOS Predict 2.0 allows transplant centers to make smarter, data-driven decisions

Background

U.S. transplant programs are evaluated by the OPTN on several key metrics developed by the Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients (SRTR). These metrics include:

• How often a transplanted organ is still functioning 90 days and one year after transplant
• Patient deaths while waiting for a transplant per time waiting on the list
• How often a transplant program accepts an organ offer compared to the number of offers they could have accepted and transplanted

What’s new in UNOS Predict 2.0

UNOS researchers and data analysts work to develop enhancements to Predict to better support transplants programs. Predict 2.0 launched in early 2026 including:

• Access to individual patient-level data for post-transplant survival and pre-transplant mortality
• Offer acceptance ratios for heart and kidney
• “What if” simulator to explore how different patient scenarios can affect program performance

Why this matters

Shaped by user feedback, these enhancements allow transplant programs to identify trends in their data, prepare for potential challenges, advocate for additional resources, and make informed, data-driven decisions to drive continuous improvement to help save and transform more lives.

Looking ahead

“Predict provides our transplant programs with the essential forward-looking view we need, moving beyond the rearview mirror. It delivers crucial risk-adjusted results, empowering the transplant teams to respond proactively and grow effectively. This allows us to appropriately expand our program’s reach and ultimately, helps us to serve more patients and families.”
