Data Insight
Children's Medical Center of Dallas's kidney transplant program is one of 205 kidney programs tracked by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in the November 2025 Program-Specific Report cohort. The center is located in Texas and reports under SRTR center code TXCM. 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.
Survival rate statistics for this program may be suppressed by SRTR if case volume fell below the minimum threshold required for statistically stable estimates. The program performed approximately 49 kidney transplants during the reporting window. An estimated 16 candidates sit on this program's waiting list, though time-to-transplant depends heavily on OPTN allocation rules for kidney, blood type, medical urgency, and geography.
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.
