Sample
Count on waitlist at start 209
  Person Years * 213.1
Transplant Rate (cadaveric only)
Removals for transplant 39
Transplant rate (per year on waitlist) 0.18
Expected Transplant Rate** 0.18
p-value (2-sided) † NA
Statistically different from expected NA
Mortality while still on waitlist
Removals for death 35
Death rate (per year on waitlist) 0.16
Expected Death Rate*** 0.16
p-value (2-sided) † NA
    Statistically different from expected   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.
