1 Transplants during the time period indicated in the last row of the table.
2 Because different cohorts are followed for each time period, it is possible for reported 3-year survival to exceed 1-year survival.
3 Based on U.S. patient mortality rates adjusted for recipient and donor characteristics as indicated in the Analytical Methods.
4 A p-value less than or equal to 0.05 indicates that the difference between the actual and expected patient survival is probably real and is not due to random chance, while a p-value greater than 0.05 indicates that the difference could possibly be due to random chance.
5 Of days expected to be included in the follow-up period, the percentage of days covered by follow-up reporting by this center for these tranplants.  Additional follow-up days included in survival may be covered by SSDMF data.  A low percent may indicate under-ascertainment of mortality for this facility.  This measures the possibility that events such as failure have occurred without being reported, and it is not a measure of compliance.
Based on data available as of 04/30/2002.  Release at www.ustransplant.org on 07/05/2002.
