Research organ recovery showed an upward trend, particularly for pancreata. Median percentage of organ recovery for research across the OPOs, varied significantly by organ type: intestines (65.4%), pancreata (36.1%), lungs (28.3%), heart (11.3%), liver (7.1%), and kidneys (3.8%), with no significant correlation between OPO donor organ volumes and research organ recovery rates. Analysis of the 2021 data showed a higher median percentage of research organ recovery in Tier 1 OPOs (13.8%) compared to Tier 2 (10.8%) and Tier 3 (11.4%), though these differences were not statistically significant (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.18).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given the opacity of existing practices and unrealized potential of research organs, our findings warrant the need for improved surveillance, centralized tracking, and a robust framework for research organ recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ctr.70267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,4]],"date-time":"2025-08-04T15:04:56Z","timestamp":1754319896000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["United States Trends in Procurement of Solid Organs Intended for Research"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0350-8822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shalmali","family":"Dharmadhikari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Price Institute of Surgical Research University of Louisville  Louisville Kentucky USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9400-3506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolas","family":"Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"National Clinician Scholars Program Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1849-5780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emily","family":"Vail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8682-972X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Abt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11605\u2010022\u201005566\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/jci.insight.134525"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/LVT.0000000000000270"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.abl4896"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amsu.2018.02.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nprot.2014.097"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajt.2023.12.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2023.32395"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajt.2024.09.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","unstructured":"T.Martens.2021. \u201cLifeGift Is a Founding Member of Biostatis Research Institute: Recent Launch to Increase Transplantation Using Cryogenic Storage of Donor Organs for Transplantation.\u201dTMC Houston.
