Whats the survival rate for children with liver transplants?
According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the one-year pediatric liver transplant patient survival rate in 2002 – 2003 was 95 percent. The graft (transplanted organ) survival rate was 86 percent. Survival rates vary from hospital to hospital around the country. At Children’s Hospital, we’re proud that our graft (transplant) survival rates meet or exceed national averages. You can find more information about specific medical centers by visiting the UNOS Web site. Reviewed by: Elizabeth B.
