Research

Original work that moves the field.

SATA convenes the multicenter database, ERAS protocols, and cross-society work that shape perioperative care in solid-organ transplantation. Our research arm exists to translate evidence into practice, fast.

How we work

Research as a member service.

The research operation is built so a busy clinical team can contribute meaningfully without taking on data-management overhead.

Data infrastructure

REDCap-powered capture with site-level dashboards. Centers own their data; SATA aggregates with consent.

Privacy by default

PHI never leaves your institution. Hashed identifiers, IRB templates, and BAAs ready to deploy.

Open science

Pre-registered analyses, code-of-conduct, and an authorship policy that recognises the people who do the work.

Translational pathway

From the database to ERAS protocols to lectures — research findings are fed back into education and practice.

Active studies

What we're working on now.

QI · MulticenterPhase II open

Liver Transplant Anesthesia Database
