Lung Transplant Statistics
| Lung transplantation is a growing program at the University of Virginia. The decline in numbers noted at about 2002 primarily reflects changes in the availability of organ donors state-wide. |  |
| A review of survival ratios from the UVa lung transplant program shows that organ performance one year after transplant is superior to US estimates for a comparable sample of patients (matched on a wide variety of medical criteria). For more information on the methodology used, or to explore UVa survival ratios more fully, please consult US Transplant - Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients |  |
