Data Insight
Pancreas transplants in the United States are tracked by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) on behalf of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). The November 2025 Program-Specific Report cohort includes 101 active pancreas transplant programs nationwide. These programs collectively reported approximately 944 pancreas transplants performed during the reporting window. Each program is independently evaluated for outcomes using risk-adjusted statistical models that account for recipient characteristics, donor factors, and clinical context.
At last count, an estimated 666 candidates were listed on pancreas transplant waiting lists across the United States. Time-to-transplant varies dramatically based on OPTN allocation policy specific to pancreas (which incorporates medical urgency, blood type compatibility, body size, and geographic proximity to donor organs) rather than simple list position. Survival statistics published by SRTR are risk-adjusted estimates of 1-year and 3-year graft survival probability, meaning the likelihood that the transplanted organ continues functioning. These are not simple patient mortality rates and should not be interpreted as a direct ranking of center quality.
The ranked table below lists centers by risk-adjusted 1-year graft survival for the current cohort. SRTR excludes programs that did not meet minimum case-volume thresholds in order to maintain statistical reliability — those centers may still operate active pancreas transplant programs but simply lack published outcome estimates for this cohort. SRTR updates these reports approximately twice yearly, so current performance may differ from figures reported here. This information is factual and informational; consult a transplant team for medical decisions.
Centers with Highest 1-Year Survival Rates
Centers with insufficient case volume are excluded per SRTR methodology. Not a quality ranking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pancreas transplants are performed each year?
According to SRTR data, approximately 944 pancreas transplants are performed annually across 101 active transplant centers in the US.
How many people are on the pancreas waiting list?
Approximately 666 people are currently on the pancreas transplant waiting list.
What does the 1-year survival rate measure?
The 1-year graft survival rate is the estimated probability that a transplanted organ is still functioning one year after surgery. It is calculated by SRTR using risk-adjusted statistical models. Always discuss these statistics with your transplant team.
