STCS Swiss Transplant Cohort Study

In 2006, several Swiss investigators from different disciplines decided to launch a prospective multicenter cohort project, the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS), aiming at a nationwide comprehensive and structured data collection in all solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. After a two-year set-up period the STCS started patient enrolment in May 2008.

One of the aims of the STCS is to provide a prolonged follow-up and embracing a comprehensive bio-psychosocial perspective in its data collection providing a unique instrument for comparative effectiveness research.
