2 Of days expected to be included in the follow-up period, the percentage of days covered by follow-up reporting for these tranplants. A low percent may indicate a non-representative sample from this facility for followup. This measures the possibility that events such as failure have occurred without being reported, and it is not a measure of compliance.
