In this report we evaluated patterns of initiation of tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant used to prevent allograft rejection subsequent to organ transplant. In particular, we assessed the number of patients in the Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD) receiving inpatient kidney or liver transplants, duration of SDD follow-up time for these transplant recipients, how many of these patients initiated tacrolimus during their inpatient transplant stay, on the discharge date, and after hospital discharge, and among these initiators, duration of tacrolimus use and reason for censoring.
