Source: OPTN/SRTR Data as of May 3, 2004.

(+) = Values not determined due to insufficient follow-up.

(-) = Values not determined since there were no transplants in the category.

Cohorts are transplants performed during 2001-2002 for 3 month and 1 year; 1999-2000 for 3 year; and 1997-1998 for 5 year survival.

Patient survival follows patients from first transplant of this type until death.

Counts for patient and graft survival are different because a patient may have more than one transplant for a type of organ.

Center volume = Center's yearly transplants performed during the base period, based on liver transplants.

Multi-organ transplants are excluded.

Survival rates are adjusted to the characteristics of the 3 month and 1 year cohort. See Technical Notes for details.
