Source: OPTN/SRTR Data as of May 2, 2005.

(+) = 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.

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 of organ.

Center volume = Center's yearly transplants performed during the base period, based on heart and heart-lung transplants.

Multi-organ transplants are excluded.

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