Data Insight

University of Washington Medical Center is a transplant program in Washington (SRTR center code WAUW). According to SRTR Program-Specific Reports from November 2025, the center operates 6 distinct organ programs — Kidney, Liver, Heart, Lung, Kidney-Pancreas, Intestine. 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 1,285 transplant procedures during the most recent SRTR reporting cohort. An estimated 545 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. The strongest 1-year graft survival rate at this center is 100.0% for heart transplants, versus a risk-adjusted national benchmark of 85.5%.

4 of this center's 6 reporting programs meet or exceed the national 1-year graft survival benchmark. SRTR excludes programs below statistical volume thresholds, so some organs may show limited data. 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.

Based on SRTR data from November 2025, University of Washington Medical Center reports a 1-year graft survival rate of 100.0% for heart transplants, compared to a national average of 85.5%. Survival rates vary by organ type and may not predict individual outcomes. Discuss these statistics with your transplant team for guidance specific to your situation.

How long is the waiting list at University of Washington Medical Center?

According to the latest SRTR data, University of Washington Medical Center has approximately 545 patients on its combined transplant waiting lists across 6 organ programs.

Which organs does University of Washington Medical Center transplant?

University of Washington Medical Center offers transplant programs for Kidney, Liver, Heart, Lung, Kidney-Pancreas, Intestine. Each program is independently evaluated by SRTR with its own survival rate data and volume statistics. Not all centers offer the same organ programs, so availability is an important factor when choosing a transplant center.

How does University of Washington Medical Center compare to other transplant centers nationally?

University of Washington Medical Center has 4 of 6 organ programs performing at or above the national average 1-year graft survival rate. National rankings are based on SRTR risk-adjusted survival estimates and exclude centers with insufficient case volume. Rankings reflect statistical outcomes over a reporting period and should be considered alongside patient-specific factors such as geographic proximity, organ availability, and clinical expertise.

What factors should I consider when choosing University of Washington Medical Center for transplant?

When evaluating University of Washington Medical Center or any transplant center, consider multiple factors beyond survival statistics: the center's experience with your specific organ type, geographic proximity (which affects organ allocation timing), your insurance coverage, the multidisciplinary team's expertise, post-transplant follow-up capabilities, and the center's patient volume. SRTR data provides one lens, but the OPTN recommends discussing all options with your referring physician and potential transplant teams.

How often is the transplant data for University of Washington Medical Center updated?

The data shown here comes from SRTR Program-Specific Reports released in November 2025 as part of the Collaborative Silo-Reservoir Study (CSRS).
