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

  1. 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.
  2. Verify. Center names and OPTN codes are normalized and validated; source data is loaded directly from the official SRTR release, never invented or interpolated.
  3. Publish. Rankings are computed directly from SRTR risk-adjusted survival rates; narrative framing and methodology writeups are drafted and reviewed line-by-line by our editorial team before publication.
