†  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.
* Person years are calculated as days (converted to fractional years).  The number of days from July 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, previous  transplantation, Peak PRA, and the
  interaction between previous transplantation and Peak PRA.
***The expected mortality rate is adjusted for age, race, ethnicity, gender, and blood type.
Based on data available as of 11/01/2001.
