Statistical methods

Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test; survival graphs were truncated when the remaining number of recipients was < 10. Multivariable analyses were performed using Cox proportional hazards models. The results of the multivariable analyses are reported as relative risks (RR) with a corresponding 95% confidence interval or p-value. A RR > 1.0 indicates that the factor was associated with a higher probability of the event; conversely, a RR <

Centers and activity

The total of 3,272 lung transplantation procedures reported to the Registry in 2009 was the highest of any year to date (Figure 1). Overall, the yearly growth in reported procedures has been steady since 2000. This is a result of increased transplants from long-time Registry contributors and the continued addition of transplants from centers and countries not previously reporting. As in prior Registry reports, the increased procedure numbers have largely been the result of consistent growth in

Centers and activity

Participating centers reported 87 adult and pediatric heart-lung transplants to the Registry for calendar year 2009 (Figure 26). The number of heart-lung transplant procedures has been essentially similar since 2003: 87 to 114 transplants are reported each year. Of note, these numbers are somewhat higher than prior years due to the new addition of data from centers not previously reporting to the Registry. Between January 1998 and June 2010, 46% of the heart-lung transplant procedures were
