Data Insight
Duke University Hospital's intestine transplant program is one of 13 intestine programs tracked by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in the November 2025 Program-Specific Report cohort. The center is located in North Carolina and reports under SRTR center code NCDU. 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 100.0% and a 3-year rate of 100.0%, compared with a national risk-adjusted benchmark of 76.3% at 1 year. The program performed approximately 7 intestine transplants during the reporting window. An estimated 10 candidates sit on this program's waiting list, though time-to-transplant depends heavily on OPTN allocation rules for intestine, blood type, medical urgency, and geography.
Among the 13 intestine transplant programs reporting to SRTR for this cohort, Duke University Hospital ranks #1 by 1-year graft survival, placing the center 23.7 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.

The OPTN recommends considering multiple factors when evaluating a transplant center.
How long is the intestine transplant waiting list at Duke University Hospital?
According to the latest SRTR data, approximately 10 patients are on the intestine transplant waiting list at Duke University Hospital. Wait times depend on factors including blood type, medical urgency, body size, geographic region, and organ allocation policies set by OPTN/UNOS. Your transplant team can provide a personalized estimate.
How does Duke University Hospital rank nationally for intestine transplants?
Duke University Hospital ranks #1 out of 13 reporting intestine transplant centers nationally by 1-year graft survival rate. The center's rate is 23.7 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 Duke University Hospital for a intestine transplant?
Beyond survival statistics, important factors include the center's experience with intestine 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 Duke University Hospital.
