Data Insight

Rady Children's Hospital and Health Center's liver transplant program is one of 119 liver programs tracked by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in the November 2025 Program-Specific Report cohort. The center is located in California and reports under SRTR center code CACH. 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%, compared with a national risk-adjusted benchmark of 92.4% at 1 year. An estimated 3 candidates sit on this program's waiting list, though time-to-transplant depends heavily on OPTN allocation rules for liver, 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.
