SRTR PSR · 7 organ types · November 2025
U.S. transplant center registry
According to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (August 2026 refresh), published waitlist stock, graft survival, and transplant volume cover 237 U.S. centers across 7 organ types; see Methodology for sourcing. Not a care recommendation.
The national picture
Kidney programs record 2.7× the transplant volume of liver in this SRTR extract, and hold 87% of the published national waitlist.

Volume and waitlist are inventory counts from SRTR 2025-11, not survival and not a referral ranking.
Volume vs waitlist stock by organ
Each organ type is placed by recorded transplant volume (x) and published national waitlist stock (y). Bubble size is the number of centers reporting that organ. Axes are inventory counts from the same SRTR extract, not wait days, eligibility, or a quality ranking.

Waitlist cells say n/a when the SRTR extract has no national waitlist for that organ (never coerced to zero).
Centers with Highest 1-Year Survival Rates
Ranked by 1-year graft survival rate from SRTR Nov 2025 reports; programs with fewer than 5 transplants are excluded. Many programs report the same rate, so volume is shown beside each and equal rates are listed alphabetically, not by quality. A small program with no graft failures reports 100% on very few cases, which is why the rate alone should not rank one center above another. See what survival rates mean.

Kidney Transplant by the Numbers
Kidney is the largest program class in this extract: volume, waitlist stock, and how to read a rate.
What a 100% survival rate usually means
96 of the 536 programs that report both a 1-year survival rate and a transplant count report exactly 100.0%. Their median volume is 23 transplants; programs below 100% have a median of 252. A perfect rate is mostly a small-denominator result, so it is not comparable with a high-volume program's rate. Read the volume beside every rate.
Programs reporting exactly 100.0% 1-year survival, by transplant volume
53.1% of them performed 25 or fewer transplants.
Derived from the same program_stats rows the rankings use; medians are computed over programs reporting both figures. See all research.

About this data
How PlainTransplant works, and why you can trust these numbers
What this site is
PlainTransplant is a plain-language reference comparing 237 U.S. organ transplant centers across 7 organ types by 1-year and 3-year graft survival rates, transplant volume, and waitlist size, built from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) Program-Specific Reports.
Editorial process
- Source. Ingest SRTR Program-Specific Report tables (new listings and active waiting patients, 1- and 3-year graft survival, transplant volume, national expected-rate benchmarks), identified via OPTN/UNOS center codes, under HRSA contract.
- Verify. Center names and OPTN codes are normalized and validated; source data is loaded directly from the official SRTR release, never invented or interpolated.
- Publish. Rankings are computed directly from SRTR risk-adjusted survival rates. The accompanying pages describe the source, definitions, and limits of those records; ranking values are generated from the SRTR figures.
Editorial independence & corrections
PlainTransplant is independent and not affiliated with SRTR, OPTN, UNOS, HRSA, or any hospital or transplant program; it does not accept payment for coverage, placement, or rankings. To report an error or stale figure, use the corrections pathway and include the page URL and source record where possible. See the methodology for the data-table breakdown and refresh cadence.
Frequently asked
Where does PlainTransplant get its data?
All figures come from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) and the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). SRTR publishes program-specific reports with survival rates, volume, and waitlist fields for U.S. transplant centers.
How many transplant centers does PlainTransplant cover?
PlainTransplant indexes 237 transplant centers across 7 organ types (kidney, liver, heart-lung, lung, kidney-pancreas, pancreas, and intestine), including 1-year and 3-year graft survival rates from 745 center×organ survival records.
Is PlainTransplant free?
Yes. The registry pages are free to browse, no account and no payment.
Does PlainTransplant provide medical advice?
No. PlainTransplant republishes and compares published SRTR/OPTN inventory and survival fields. It does not assess eligibility, waiting time for a person, or any care decision.
Every figure on PlainTransplant is rendered directly from SRTR Program-Specific Reports data, no number is typed in by an editor.
