Data Insight
Allegheny General Hospital's liver transplant program is one of 124 liver programs tracked by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in the November 2025 Program-Specific Report cohort. The center is located in Pennsylvania and reports under SRTR center code PAAG. These program-level statistics are risk-adjusted for recipient and donor characteristics, which means survival estimates account for factors such as age, diagnosis, and prior medical history rather than comparing raw outcomes.
For the current cohort, this program reports a 1-year graft survival rate of 92.8% and a 3-year rate of 82.0%, compared with a national risk-adjusted benchmark of 92.4% at 1 year. The program performed approximately 157 liver transplants during the reporting window. An estimated 27 candidates sit on this program's waiting list, though time-to-transplant depends heavily on OPTN allocation rules for liver, blood type, medical urgency, and geography.
Among the 124 liver transplant programs reporting to SRTR for this cohort, Allegheny General Hospital ranks #59 by 1-year graft survival, placing the center 0.4 percentage points above the national benchmark. SRTR releases updated Program-Specific Reports approximately twice yearly (typically May and November), and each release incorporates a rolling cohort that may lag by 6-18 months because survival outcomes require follow-up. This page reflects the November 2025 release and is not medical advice — discuss these figures with a qualified transplant team in the context of your individual health status.

How does Allegheny General Hospital rank nationally for liver transplants?
Allegheny General Hospital ranks #59 out of 124 reporting liver transplant centers nationally by 1-year graft survival rate. The center's rate is 0.4 percentage points above the national average. Rankings are based on SRTR risk-adjusted estimates and exclude centers with insufficient case volume for statistical reliability.
What should I consider before choosing Allegheny General Hospital for a liver transplant?
Beyond survival statistics, important factors include the center's experience with liver transplants, geographic proximity (which affects organ allocation timing through OPTN distribution policies), your insurance network, the multidisciplinary team's expertise, post-transplant follow-up logistics, and the availability of living donor programs if applicable. Discuss all options with your referring physician and the transplant team at Allegheny General Hospital.
