organ transplant survival rates

Organ transplant survival rates indicate the percentage of patients who live for a certain period after their transplant, often evaluated at 1, 3, and 5 years. These rates reflect advancements in surgical techniques, immunosuppressive medications, and patient care. Generally, survival rates have improved over time, with kidney transplants showing about 90% survival at one year, and liver and heart transplants also demonstrating strong outcomes. While they are an average measure and can vary based on factors like age and health, high survival rates indicate that many recipients live long, healthy lives after their transplant.
