(+) = Values not determined due to insufficient follow-up. (-) = Values not determined since there were no transplants in the category.

Cohorts are transplants performed during the years listed at the top of the table.

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.

Medical urgency status codes have changed over time. See Technical Notes chapter for further information. footnote9
