Kidney Transplant Volumes and Outcomes
Parents of potential organ transplant patients often ask about the number of kidney transplants done at CHOP and our transplant survival rates. We refer to these statistics as transplant volumes and outcomes.
Volumes
See the number of transplants done here in the last five years:
- 2023 - 24 transplants
- 2022 - 15 transplants
- 2021 - 18 transplants
- 2020 - 15 transplants
- 2019 - 15 transplants
- 2018 - 16 transplants
- 2017 - 17 transplants
Outcomes
In transplant outcomes, a key concept is graft survival vs. patient survival. Graft survival can sometimes be different from patient survival. For example, a patient’s organ might stop functioning, but the patient survives and has another transplant.
It is possible for three-year survival rates to exceed one-year survival because different groups of patients are followed for each time period.
Kidney Graft Survival (0-17 years old)
CHOP's kidney graft survival rates are 100 percent at 1-month and 1-year post-transplant.
Kidney Transplant Patient Survival (0-17 years old)
CHOP patient survival rates are 100 percent at 1-month and 1-year post-transplant.
1 month and 1 year data time period: 1/1/2020-3/12/2020 and 6/13/2020-6/30/2022 (excludes transplants performed 3/13/2020-6/12/2020)
3 years data time period: 7/1/2017-12/31/2019
