Data Insight
Georgetown University Medical Center'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 District of Columbia and reports under SRTR center code DCGU. 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 80.0% and a 3-year rate of 77.0%, compared with a national risk-adjusted benchmark of 76.3% at 1 year. The program performed approximately 65 intestine transplants during the reporting window. An estimated 18 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, Georgetown University Medical Center ranks #7 by 1-year graft survival, placing the center 3.7 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.
