	Mortality while still on waitlist
		Removals for death	0	1		5	23
		Death rate (per year on waitlist)	0.00	0.17		0.11	0.03
		Expected Death Rate***	0.08	0.06		0.06	0.03

		Statistically different from expected	Not Different	Not Different		NA	NA
† 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, and previous transplantation.
***The expected mortality rate is adjusted for age, race, ethnicity, gender, and blood type.
Based on data available as of 11/01/2001.
