Data Insight
Children's of Alabama is a transplant program in Alabama (SRTR center code ALCH). According to SRTR Program-Specific Reports from November 2025, the center operates 2 distinct organ programs — Kidney, Liver. Each program is independently evaluated by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients using risk-adjusted survival estimates, so performance on one organ does not imply performance on another.
Across all programs, the center reported approximately 45 transplant procedures during the most recent SRTR reporting cohort. An estimated 21 candidates sit on this center's combined waiting lists, though allocation is driven by OPTN policy (blood type, medical urgency, geography, organ-specific criteria) rather than list position alone.
This center operates 2 SRTR-reporting programs; survival estimates are risk-adjusted for recipient characteristics and update approximately twice per year. Use the table below to compare each organ program's survival, volume, and waitlist against national averages. This information is factual and does not constitute medical advice.
