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

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

Multi-organ transplants are excluded for kidney, pancreas, heart, lung, and liver survival rates.

Living donor transplants excluded unless explicitly listed. Heterotopic heart and liver transplants excluded.

Intestine survival includes intestine only and intestine-liver only transplants.

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

Graft survival follows individual transplants until graft failure.

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

for a type organ.

See Technical Notes for complete discussion of patient and graft survival methods.
