Insights from High-Performing Heart Transplant Centers across the Recipient Risk-Spectrum

Heart transplant (HT) centers with superior short-term (90 day) survival of recipients maintain performance advantage over other centers for long-term survival. However, signature characteristics of high-performing centers have not been adequately analyzed. We stratified US centers by 90-day performance and compared them for mortality across recipient risk-spectrum, ability to rescue from early renal failure and cause-specific mortality during the first 90 post-HT days.
