(-) = None in category.

(*) = For cohorts with fewer than 10 patients, rates are imprecise and are not reported.

Multi-organ transplants are excluded.

Includes patients transplanted during the year and having reported data one-year after transplant.

Time at risk covers the period from transplant date until the date of death or one-year anniversary of the transplant. See Technical Notes for further details.
