† The 95% confidence interval gives a range of values for the true ratio of events (transplants or deaths) at the facility to those expected based on the
national experience. The true ratio
will be between this lower and upper bound 95% of the time.
†† A p-value gives the probability
that a difference between observed and expected is due to random chance. A p-value of <.05 is usually considered
statistically significant. |
(a) This difference could plausibly be
just a chance occurrence.
(b) This difference is unlikely due to random chance and probably represents
a real difference from the expected rate. |
| * Person years are calculated as days
(converted to fractional years). The
number of days from January 1 or from the date of first wait listing until
removal from the wait list or the end of one year. |
| ** The expected transplant rate is adjusted for age,
blood type, medical urgency status, time on the waiting list, and |
| previous
transplantation. |
| *** The expected mortality rate is adjusted for age,
race, ethnicity, gender, primary diagnosis, blood type, |
| time on the
waiting list, and medical urgency status. |
| Based on data available as of 04/30/2003. Release at www.ustransplant.org on
