Children’s has graft survival rates that are higher than the
national average for 30 days and three years after transplant.
What does this data mean? The graph shows the survival rates of
the graft (a transplanted organ, such as a liver) 30 days, one
year and three years after the transplant. Our graft survival
rates are better than the national average for 30 days and three
years after transplant. Why are graft survival rates important?
High graft survival rates mean that the transplanted organ is
doing well in the child. If a graft fails, that means the child
will need another transplant. Our hopes are that the
transplanted organ survives for many, many years. How does
Children’s make sure we are giving high-quality care? Source:
