Percent of donors with discordant terminal creatine values and median absolute percent difference in terminal creatinine values. The time series bar chart (primary vertical axis) shows the percentage of donors with discordant terminal creatinine values by donation year (n=105,388). The positive vertical axis represents the percentage of donors whose Deceased Donor Registration Form terminal creatinine was greater than the terminal creatinine in DonorNet (11%, n=11,391) (solid gray). The negative vertical axis represents the percentage of donors whose Deceased Donor Registration Form terminal creatinine was less than the terminal creatinine in DonorNet (14%, n=14,523) (diagonal lines). The overall percentage of donors with discordant terminal creatinine values decreased from 65% in 2006 to 8% in 2018. The line graph (secondary vertical axis) shows the median absolute percentage difference in terminal creatinine by donation year for donors with discrepant terminal creatinine values (n=25,915). The error bars represent the interquartile range (IQR). The median (IQR) absolute percentage difference in terminal creatinine decreased from 15% (10%–25%) in 2006 to 9% (5%–26%) in 2018. DDR, Deceased Donor Registration; tCr, terminal creatinine.
