Data Insight
Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital's lung transplant program is one of 65 lung 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 TXHS. 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 0.0%, compared with a national risk-adjusted benchmark of 89.6% at 1 year. An estimated 5 candidates sit on this program's waiting list, though time-to-transplant depends heavily on OPTN allocation rules for lung, blood type, medical urgency, and geography.
Among the 65 lung transplant programs reporting to SRTR for this cohort, Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital ranks #65 by 1-year graft survival, placing the center 89.6 percentage points below 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.
