(-) = None in category.

(1) ORPD: Organs Recovered Per Donor of any organ; (2) OTPD: Organs Transplanted Per Donor of any organ. Organs divided into segments(liver, lung, pancreas, intestine) are counted only once for that organ.

Includes organs recovered for transplant but not transplanted, as well as organs transplanted.

Donors are divided into two mutually exclusive and complete categories. DCDs include patients whose hearts have irreversibly stopped beating, and may also have been known as Non-Heart Beating Donors. DBDs have suffered brain death.
