This statistic reports the time at which half of the candidates (median = 50%) will have received a transplant, among all those initially listed. If more than half of candidates are removed or die before receiving a transplant, or if the time is longer than the longest time available for the candidates included in the calculation, then this statistic is not reported. This median time to transplant considers all candidates who are initially registered on the waiting list and is generally longer than the median waiting time. It is useful for candidates at the time they are first put on the waiting list.
