Data Insight
Maine: 1 SRTR-tracked transplant center · covering 1 organ type (Kidney) · 229 reported procedures · 258 on combined waitlist · 92.1% volume-weighted 1-year graft survival.
Transplant activity varies widely from one state to the next because donor availability, the number of accredited transplant centers, and regional organ-sharing rules all differ. A state with several high-volume programs may report shorter waiting times for some organs and longer ones for others, depending on local demand and the mix of blood types and medical urgency among listed candidates. The counts below reflect programs physically located in this state; many patients also list at — or travel to — centers across state lines, so these totals do not capture every resident who ultimately receives a transplant. Survival rates are risk-adjusted by the SRTR so that programs accepting sicker or higher-risk recipients are compared fairly. Treat these state-level figures as a starting point, then open the individual center pages for organ-specific volume, waitlist size, and outcomes before drawing any conclusions.

Reading Maine Transplant Data
The transplant programs operating in Maine sit inside a larger national allocation network. When a donor organ becomes available, OPTN policy ranks candidates from across multiple states based on medical urgency, blood type compatibility, body size matching, and (for some organ types) geographic distance from the donor hospital. That means a Maine resident may receive an organ donated in a neighboring state, and a donor organ recovered in Maine may travel out of state to the most urgent compatible recipient. State-level center listings are therefore best read as a directory of programs accessible to Maine patients, not as a measure of Maine's share of national transplant volume.
Center-to-center variation within Maine can be substantial. A high-volume academic medical center will typically report different risk-adjusted survival numbers than a smaller community program, and the two may accept very different referral populations. When comparing centers within Maine, consider the organ-specific ranking pages — survival adjustments and confidence intervals are organ-specific — rather than aggregate all-organ comparisons. The Compare view at the page link above allows side-by-side review of any two Maine programs by organ type.
Patients listed at multiple programs (a practice called multi-listing) sometimes use state boundaries strategically to access different OPTN geographic zones. Multi-listing is allowed by national policy, but practical eligibility depends on the listing center's residency, insurance, and clinical follow-up rules. Discuss multi-listing possibilities with your nephrologist, hepatologist, cardiologist, or pulmonologist before pursuing it — there are clinical, financial, and logistical considerations that the published center pages cannot capture.
