Methods: We would like to review the United Network for Organ Sharing database. We plan on reviewing database records of heart transplantation subjects <18 years of age from 1987 to 2004. Indications for retransplantation and patient race characteristics will be collected and evaluated. Analysis will be performed using proportional hazards regression controlling for other potential risk factors. The contribution economic disparity, insurance status and HLA mismatching to disparities in outcome will also be explored.
