(-) = 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.

Donors are divided into two mutually exclusive and complete categories. All donors meeting the criteria

for Expanded Criteria Donors for Kidney are classified as ECD, regardless of whether the kidneys were allocated under the ECD system. Non-ECDs include all other donors, including SCDs and DCDs.
