What this trial studies
The Swiss Transplant Cohort Study is an observational prospective cohort study that enrolls all patients who have undergone solid organ and stem cell transplantation in Switzerland since May 2008. It collects predefined variables at specific time points, focusing on immunological and infectious complications, as well as psychosocial factors. Individual biological samples, including PBMC, plasma, and DNA, are stored for future research projects. This comprehensive data collection aims to enhance understanding of transplantation outcomes.
