Source: OPTN/SRTR Data as of August 1, 2002.
(-) = The Intestine waiting list began in 1993.
Patients alive on the waiting list at any time during the year are counted. Period at risk begins the later of January 1 or waiting list registration and ends on the earlier of December 31, date of death, or date of removal for other reasons. Please see Technical Notes chapter for further details
about death rate computation.
Patients who were waiting for multiple organs in a given year are counted in each organ section, but only
once in the "All Organs" section.
