Why Is This Important?

This measure tells us what percentage of all liver transplants in SF were among people who were HCV seropositive. This measure can be used to estimate the impact of HCV complications on people's livers over the years. A downward trend in this curve is desirable because it tells us that fewer liver diseases are caused by HCV. 

Story Behind the Curve

  • The 2020 data is preliminary - 2020 data is still being collected and analyzed, so the significant drop we see in 2020 is not the true (final) value.

Technical Notes

Description of Data: The percent of liver transplants performed on SF residents who were HCV seropositive. 

Time:

  • Data time frame: 01/01/2007 - 11/30/2023
  • Based on data as of 12/15/2023

Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria:

  • Receipents of liver transplants: only includes people whos ZIP code of permanent residence at time of tranplant is a SF ZIP code
    • a list of 51 SF ZIP codes were sent to UNOS
  • # of LT related to hepatitis C was identified in one of two ways, HCV-related diagnosis or viral testing. 
  • HCV Serostatus Positive is used to include patients with a positive HCV antibody test. 
  • HCV NAT (virtal testing) was not included. The UNOS research analyst ran the numbers and he found that only a small portion of recipients are tested for HCV NAT. 

Description of Data Source: United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the private, non-profit organization that manages the nation’s organ transplant system (the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN)) under contract with the federal government. UNOS maintains a database that contains all organ transplant data for every transplant event that occurs in the U.S. Reference: https://unos.org/
