Annual Follow Up

Instructions for submitting the Annual Form:

The ANNUAL FORM is to be completed on, or shortly after, the patient's transplant anniversary date or at the time of death/graft failure. For the first two years (Annual 1 and Annual 2), the entire form should be filled out. After that, please report death, graft failure or lost to follow up only. **NOTE** Beginning in 1995, the Consortium's Research Committee approved the use of the UNOS Follow Up forms in lieu of the Annual forms in an effort to reduce the workload for the coordinators and data managers. If a copy of the UNOS form is submitted, the patient's marital status needs to be included.

The Consortium office will make periodic checks to ensure that forms are received on a timely basis. If forms are missing, a reminder will be issued.
