How we calculate “out of 100”: SRTR reports how often patients on each program’s list are transplanted and how often they die while waiting. We convert those two rates into what they mean for 100 people listed at the program for one year, counting transplant and death as competing outcomes. It is an estimate for a typical patient, not a prediction for you: your MELD score, blood type and health change your own odds.
