Due to technical incompatibilities, data upload via TaXi is unavailable with TaXi versions lower than 4.4.6. Please update TaXi to the current version 4.4.6 in order to use the "Send Data to CTS" - functionality.
TaXi Version 4.4.6 available (May 07, 2024)
Please download Upgrade 4.4.6
System Functions
- Initial entry of transplantation data (heart, lung, kidney, pancreas, and liver)
- Viewing and correction of data and printing of forms
- Data entry of immunosuppressive follow up data (Questionnaire)
- Recording of individual transplantation follow up data (clinical outcome grades, graft failure, date of death, alive date, and malignancies)
- Follow up data entry in list format (with an emphasis on missing data)
- Printing of lists (update section, sections 1...4, malignancies, ...)
- Producing graphs on center demographics as well as graft survival
- Data export (ASCII, DBF, Excel formats) for statistical analysis
- Comfortable recipient, donor, or transplantation based search and selection options
- Definition and entry of data for individual studies, such as complementation of CTS data with center specific data
- Data transfer by diskette or email to CTS Heidelberg
User-Interface
Through the use of a Microsoft standard product for the development of the application, the user is presented with a typical Windows-type interface. As a result, no additional training is necessary for the operation of the program.
Operation of the program can be accomplished through the use of both the mouse and keyboard. The selection of functions, such as saving and printing, can be accomplished through use of the toolbar, menus, or the corresponding shortcut keys.
Organization of the data entry windows is oriented in the same manner as the forms and lists of the CTS. All entered data are verified both individually, during entry, and in relation to the complete data set, during saving, so that incorrect data entry becomes almost an impossibility.
Entry and reading of data is supported through a status bar and appropriate selection window (see examples for data entry windows).
Technical Implementation
The application was created using Microsoft Visual FoxPro, one of the most well developed and powerful database systems available.
The same program has been in use, since January 2000, in Heidelberg for data compilation of all incoming CTS data, and in this time it has proved its quality in the practical arena.
Installation is performed through the use of a simple setup program and requires only minimal hardware prerequisites (Pentium processor with approximately 10 MB free hard disk storage space) in addition to the presence of any edition of Windows (Windows XP or later).
