Fast Facts presents a snapshot of transplantation in the United States between July 1, 2002 and June 30, 2003. It provides concise information on the number of people who needed transplants and received transplants during that time period. The table provides six statistics on each of the following organs: kidney, liver, pancreas, kidney-pancreas, heart, lung, heart-lung, and intestine.

6.	Percent survival at one year after transplant, adult patients transplanted 07/01/2000 - 12/31/2002; between 07/01/2000 - 06/30/2002 for HR,HL and LU	96%	87%	96%	95%	88%	79%	71%	87%

* Patients registered on the waiting list multiple times are counted only once in this table.
** Total organs transplanted exceeds this number because heart-lung and kidney-pancreas transplants are counted only once in this table.
