Now called the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS), the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Registry was established in 1993 by a group of physicians who wanted to improve the lives of children who needed a heart transplant. The primary purposes of the organization was to establish and maintain a prospective, event driven database for heart transplantation, to encourage and stimulate basic and clinical research in the field of pediatric heart transplantation, and to promote new therapeutic strategies. The ultimate goal was to improve the lives of pediatric heart transplant recipients.
With more than 25 years of data collection, PHTS has produced over 140 abstract presentations and over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts analyzing the continuum from pre-transplant risk factors to post-transplant morbidities which impact long-term survival after heart transplant in childhood. Information gained has significantly increased our understanding of pediatric heart transplantation and has allowed pediatric heart transplant doctors and nurses to help children after heart transplant live longer and have a better quality of life.
The Pediatric Heart Transplant Study (PHTS) was started by Dr. James Kirklin (cardiac surgeon), Dr. David Naftel (statistician), and Dr. Robert Morrow (pediatric cardiologist) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1993. The registry was modeled after the adult version started three years prior called the CardioThoracic Research Database (CTRD) which has since closed. Dr. Morrow served as the president of the PHTS registry until 2001 at which point a formal election process was established to elect a new president and rotating committees every two years. Dr. Naftel served as the Director of the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) until May 2014 when he retired from UAB. Dr. Kirklin served as the study PI and in May 2014 he also became DCC Director following Dr. Naftel’s retirement.
PHTS Foundation
In 2010, the leadership of PHTS created a 501(c)3 not for profit known as the PHTS Foundation. This Foundation took the place of the previously known Finance Committee of PHTS. The PHTS Foundation was established to raise and administer funds to advance the science and treatment of children while listed for and following heart transplantation. The PHTS Foundation supports the work of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS). Learn more about the PHTS foundation.
Pediatric Heart Transplant Society
In January 2018 at the annual PHTS leadership meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, the leadership proposed to change the name of the registry from Pediatric Heart Transplant Study to Pediatric Heart Transplant Society. This was put to the membership for a vote and there was a unanimous vote to change the name. Shortly thereafter and after 24 years of the same logo, PHTS accepted submissions for new logo ideas and a new logo was voted on and selected in the summer of 2018.
