[HTML][HTML] Solid organ allograft survival improvement in the United States: the long-term does not mirror the dramatic short-term success
SA Lodhi, KE Lamb, HU Meier-Kriesche - American Journal of …, 2011 - Elsevier
Organ survival in the short-term period post-transplant has improved dramatically over the
past few decades. Whether this has translated to a long-term survival benefit remains
unclear. This study quantifies the progression of nonrenal solid organ transplant outcomes
from 1989 to 2009 in liver, lung, heart, intestine and pancreas transplants. Long-term graft
survival was analyzed using data on adult solid organ transplant recipients from the
UNOS/SRTR database and is reported as organ half-life and yearly attrition rates. Liver …
